Strategic Goal 12: Management and Organizational Excellence
Ensure a High Quality Workforce Supported by Modern and Secure Infrastructure and Operational Capacities

I. Strategic Goal Public Benefit

Human Resources: The 28,000 Foreign Service, Civil Service, and Foreign Service National employees posted in over 300 locations throughout the world are the Department's most significant resource. To maintain the U.S. role as a world leader in the twenty-first century, America's foreign policy representatives must be the best the nation has to offer. The Department must have sufficient resources to attract, train, promote, and retain the very best employees.

The Department continues to pursue human resource initiatives aimed at building, deploying and sustaining a knowledgeable, diverse and high-performing workforce. The goal is to have a workforce whose composition, size and skills can adapt quickly to changes in mission, technology and worldwide requirements of the foreign affairs environment. The Department has implemented a comprehensive leadership and management training initiative to ensure that the competencies of its current and rising generation of leaders are commensurate with the importance of their mission.

Information Technology: The Department's ability to fulfill its mission successfully depends heavily on the collection, analysis, communication, and presentation of information in forms useful to its stakeholders - the public, businesses, other USG agencies, foreign governments, and its employees. A secure, modern, information technology infrastructure is a vital tool that enables the Department to serve these stakeholders effectively. The Department is making a concerted effort to use commercial best practices to deploy modern automation platforms, secure global networks (unclassified, classified and the Internet), maintain a centrally managed IT infrastructure, deploy a modern messaging/archiving/information sharing system, streamline administrative systems, and introduce a customer-focused portal.

The Department continues to implement a comprehensive risk management program for IT systems, enhancements to user access information and services, and virtual collaboration in such areas as passport and visa services, crisis management, grants management, acquisition functions and streamlining of internal administrative processes.

Diplomatic Security: Secure working and living environments are essential in ensuring that the Department can effectively implement its foreign policy goals. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) provides such environments through a broad scope of global responsibilities including the protection of the Secretary of State and other senior government officials, resident and visiting foreign dignitaries, foreign missions in the U.S., American embassies/consulates overseas and special events.

The Office of Foreign Missions prevents abuses of diplomatic privileges and immunities, and improves conditions for U.S. personnel serving abroad. DS coordinates requests from U.S. law enforcement agencies for overseas investigations, including fugitive apprehensions, child abuse, counterfeit currency, and money laundering. A special unit conducts investigations of passport and visa fraud. DS also serves as the operational manager for the USG Rewards for Justice Program for information that prevents or resolves terrorism. Through the Anti-terrorism Assistance Program, DS builds the capacity of foreign governments to engage in the war on terrorism. Finally, the Department funds the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC), a public-private sector partnership that fosters the exchange of ideas on global security.

Facilities: The Department's worldwide network of facilities is a critical component of its diplomatic readiness. The provision of secure, safe, and functional domestic and overseas facilities enables USG employees to pursue the vital interests of the American public more effectively.
At the end of the fiscal year, the Department had seventeen capital projects under construction, nine capital construction projects awarded and sixty-eight major rehabilitation projects underway overseas. The Capital Security Cost Sharing (CSCS) program will accelerate construction and encourage rightsizing. Domestically, the consolidation and renovation of the Department's office space in Foggy
Bottom will serve the conduct of diplomacy in Washington and provide a more secure and efficient workspace. Likewise, the completion of a modern office building for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations (USUN) in New York will provide a safe, secure and functional facility for our diplomatic mission.

Planning, Budgeting and Financial Management: Integrated budgeting, planning and performance measurement processes, together with effective financial management and demonstrated financial accountability, will improve the management and performance of the Department. It will ensure that the resources entrusted to the Department are well managed and judiciously used. The American people will be able to see how well programs perform, and the costs they incur for that performance. This improved accountability for performance, together with unquestionable fiscal integrity, will deliver meaningful results to the American people.

Administrative and Information Services: The Bureau of Administration provides support to diplomatic activities by ensuring timely delivery of products and services to U.S. embassies and consulates around the world. E-logistics processes enhance services by eliminating redundancies, increasing efficiencies, and providing secure real-time query tools. Electronic commerce offers American businesses expanded opportunities to compete for Department contracts. Performance-based contracting ensures more efficient and effective use of program dollars. The 80 percent reduction in the backlog of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by FY 2005 will contribute significantly to the public's timely knowledge of foreign policy issues. A new information system being implemented by the Office of Allowances will provide overseas posts with a faster, more accurate and reliable system for submitting allowances data electronically. U.S. accreditation of overseas schools ensures the availability of an appropriate, high quality American-style education for USG dependents overseas, and facilitates their transfer between overseas and U.S. schools.

Public-private competitions will generate taxpayer savings and noticeable performance improvements. Recent competitions ender OMB Circular A- 76 across federal agencies have resulted in savings between 20 and 30 percent regardless of who wins a competition. Public-private competitions will also promote innovation, efficiency, and greater effectiveness within the Department.

VI: Illustrative Examples of FY 2003 Achievements for Strategic Goal 12

Management and Organizational Excellence
OpenNet Plus	With its OpenNet Plus program, the Department accomplished the Secretary's highest IT priority - providing worldwide desktop Internet access for over 43,000 Department users. Since completion in mid FY 2003, all sites have Internet services and augmented bandwidth to handle increased workload. OpenNet Plus provides an appropriate level of security against cyber intruders, consistent with good risk management practices. Open access to the Internet enables employees to take full advantage of its tremendous capability, and to facilitate communication and collaboration internally as well as with the public, business, other USG agencies, and foreign governments. Using the Department's existing OpenNet infrastructure instead of installing a new network has enabled this initiative to be accomplished rapidly in a cost- effective manner. In FY 2004 OpenNet Plus will become part of the new Global Information Technology Modernization (GITM) project, an aggressive life-cycle modernization program for both classified (CCP) and unclassified (OpenNetPlus) infrastructure.
Network Availability	The Enterprise Network Management (ENM) office provides the services and infrastructure to manage the Department's global network. In FY 2003, ENM continued to focus on improved network availability through Virtual Private Networks (VPN), consolidation of unclassified and classified network operations, windows 2000 transition, Remote Systems Management, application management, Universal Trouble Ticket, and IT Asset Management. By the end of FY2003, network availability improved to 98%, and in FY 2004 is projected to improve to 99%.
Classified Connectivity Program (CCP)	During FY2003 CCP was expanded to all 224 eligible overseas posts. The program provides Department employees worldwide who are authorized access to classified material with a single, modern, and secure classified network and e-mail system; greater access to web-based information via a classified Intranet; and improved communication and collaboration with other national security agencies via connection to the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET). In FY 2004, CCP will become part of the new Global Information Technology Modernization (GITM) project, an aggressive life-cycle modernization program for both classified (CCP) and unclassified (OpenNetPlus) infrastructure.
Improved Administrative Services	OMB approved the Department's competitive sourcing plan, which also includes a plan for performance-based contracting and efforts to implement are now under way. The amount of business available through the Statebuy Interactive Platform for e-Commerce (www.statebuy.gov) has been expanded. Projects are under way to enhance quality of life services to employees via the web and through program improvements.
Strengthening Embassy Compounds	The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) has completed seven capital construction projects thus far in FY2003. These include new embassy compounds (NECs) in Tunis, Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Zagreb, Istanbul; the USAID facility in Dar es Salaam; and the Bogota USAID/NAS Annex. These facilities were accomplished on time and within budgets based on their construction contracts. In addition, OBO had 17 capital projects under construction and another 9 projects awarded at the end of FY 2003. These, plus 81 new embassy compound (NEC) capital projects currently in planning, will significantly strengthen embassy and consulate compounds to provide secure, safe, and functional facilities for U.S. Government employees serving the nation's interests overseas. The Department's overseas buildings plan is in high gear as evidenced by the number of fine new facilities being completed and those on the way.
Counterintelligence Strengthening	Periodic Background Reinvestigations are critical to protecting national security information. For many years, only 100 reinvestigations were done per month; a rate significantly behind that needed to achieve reinvestigation every 5 years per Executive Order. At the end of FY 2002 we almost doubled that rate to 189 per month. We are now, in FY 2003, at our target rate of 360 reinvestigations per month and we will sustain this rate to keep us on the 5-year cycle. This mandate will reduce the counterintelligence risk to the Department.
CFPS Modules	Successfully implemented the Department automated and streamlined its mission-to-headquarters planning process. This is an important step in explaining State Department program performance to the American people. As subsequent modules are added, the Department will be better able to associate costs with programs from budgeting through execution.
Protection in Afghanistan	In less than three months DS stood up a 46 person protective detail for President Karzai; established a professional security training facility; and, through the Anti-terrorism Assistance Program (ATA), successfully trained 180 Afghanis. We are working to integrate 120 Afghan Presidential Protective Service (PPS) agents into the Karzai Protective Detail to make PPS a self-sustaining entity.
Mandatory Leadership Training	Mandatory leadership training requirements, instituted in 2002, were fully implemented in this first full year (of four) to train a target population of about 7,000 Foreign Service and Civil Service mid-level employees. 1,734 employees received mandatory training by the end of FY 2003, keeping us on track to complete this initial rollout of training by the end of FY 2006. The initiative has been further expanded to the ranks of senior executive staff with the successful introduction of the Senior Executive Training Seminar which will be mandatory for all newly promoted Senior FS and CS employees.
Foreign Language Training	In FY 2003, FSI's School of Language Studies conducted, for Department personnel, 82,053 hours of training for 227 enrollments in national security-critical languages of Arabic, Dari, Kurdish, Pashto, Persian/Farsi, Tajiki, Urdu and Uzbek. A pilot Iraqi Familiarization course was piloted in 3rd Quarter FY 2003. Curriculum development began for Kurdish and Iraqi Variety Arabic, with curricula being updated in Dari, Pashto, and Persian/Farsi. Preparation has begun towards expanding "Beyond 3" training opportunities, designed to increase the Department's cadre of speakers of the most difficult languages (especially Arabic), as well as the development of a Language Learning Continuum to promote and guide the building and replenishment of cadres of personnel with advanced skills in other priority languages needed by the Department.
