In FY 2012, the Department of State and USAID continued to increase analytical rigor in strategic planning and performance management by focusing on entity-level, outcome-oriented performance measures that support their strategic goals and priorities. The following section summarizes performance information for each of the seven Joint Strategic Goals. Each Goal is comprised of a Public Benefit narrative, selected Key Achievements, which occurred in FY 2012, and a forward looking Summary and Analysis of Performance. Joint State-USAID performance and budget information will be featured in the upcoming Joint Summary of Performance and Financial Information, scheduled for release in mid-February 2013.
