U.S. Department of State FY 2008 Performance Summary Appendices PART Programs Summaries and Improvement Plans Summaries of Department of State PART assessments (2002-2006) and improvement plans are listed below and available on the web at www.expectmore.gov. Completion status is as of December 1, 2006. Program Name Andean Counterdrug Initiative (ACI) PART Summary The program helps partner governments in the Andean region of South America to fight the illicit drug industry. ACI combines drug eradication, interdiction, alternative development, and rule of law programs in drug producing and transit countries to reduce the impact of the illegal drug trade in the hemisphere. Improvement Plan Actions Develop annual goals that show how the program is helping foster alternative ways for communities and families to earn a living outside the illicit drug trade. Ensure that financial management system can track and report information to make effective strategic planning and funding decisions. Link funding requests to overall program goals. Completion Status Actions taken but not completed. Program Name Anti-Terrorism Assistance PART Summary The Anti-Terrorism Assistance program builds the capacity of key countries abroad to fight terrorism; establishes security relationships between U.S. and foreign officials to strengthen cooperative anti-terrorism efforts; and shares modern, humane and effective anti-terrorism techniques. Improvement Plan Actions Increase the effectiveness of the program by expanding in-country training programs in countries critical to the U.S. counter-terrorism effort. Use a formal needs assessment program and country rating system to inform budget development and justifications. Integrate performance measures into budget documents and institutionalize tracking and reporting of progress against performance measures. Status of Actions Completed. PART Tables 157
