Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • The program targets its resources to achieve the most benefit. This program incorporates expected climate change benefits into a recipient country's existing development goals and strategies.
  • The program coordinates its climate change activities effectively with many organizations conducting similar work. There are several organizations that work in climate change, both inside and outside the US government.
  • This program cannot numerically measure progress made toward two out of three program goals. The program has no measure for developing countries' participation in international climate change initiatives or their vulnerability to climate change.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Developing a new strategic plan to increase developing countries' participation in international climate change initiatives and decrease these countries' vulnerability to climate change.
  • Conducting regular reviews of this program's performance and effectiveness to inform program improvements.
  • Focusing funding on priority areas in the short term, specifically, the high priority geographic and programmatic areas that would support the Administration's climate negotiating team.
