International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement Programs, Western Hemisphere

This program curbs the impact of international drug traffickers and other crime groups in this hemisphere on the United States and our allies. The program disrupts the overseas production and trafficking of illicit drugs; coordinates international law enforcement activities; and facilitates stable criminal justice systems.

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 has demonstrated mixed results in pursuing its long-term and annual goals. For example, since 2000 the flow of cocaine into the United States has decreased cumulatively by 26% and the flow of heroine has increased by 33% (though there were positive annual fluctuations).
  • The program's annual budget request illustrates funding by country and major program activity, but does not explain the impact of funding decisions on expected performance.
  • The program is implementing a new financial management system to rectify its current financial management weaknesses. The new system, and an independent evaluation of program performance, should allow the program to produce accurate and timely information to support resource requests and allocations.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

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

  • Contracting for an independent evaluation of key assistance activities. The evaluation will examine the program's mixed results and lead to corrective actions.
  • Ensuring that the new financial management system can track and report information needed to make effective strategic planning and funding decisions.
