The 32 indicators featured in the table below serve as illustrative performance measures reflecting the Department of State and USAID’s progress toward achieving goals set out in the Joint Strategic Plan. An interagency working group selected these indicators from a total of 130 state operations and foreign assistance indicators reported by the agencies for FY 2009 to represent the strategic goals based on their budgetary significance; policy significance; availability of a quantitative, objective, and outcome-oriented data set; and consistency with reporting in prior years. Additional information on performance indicators, data, and analysis may be found in the Performance Overview and Analysis section of the FY 2011 Congressional Budget Justification (CBJ) for State Operations, pages 769-776; and the Annual Performance Report included in the FY 2011 CBJ for Foreign Operations, pages 271-347.
