What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • The program has a clear purpose: to eliminate or reduce vaccine-preventable diseases overseas. These efforts protect American children from diseases imported to the US or acquired abroad and against the medical costs of morbidity and mortality associated with these diseases.
  • The program has well-established annual and long-term performance measures, consistent with its global partners. One measure is to reduce the number of countries in the world with endemic wild polio virus, the objective being to eradicate polio. Performance data indicates that global polio incidence has declined by more than 99 percent from 1988 to 2004.
  • The program is meeting its efficiency goals of minimizing headquarters expenses and overhead. At least 90% of program funds are in direct support of field work to accomplish the long-term outcome of ending vaccine-preventable illness.
