Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The U.S. State Department is required 

to collect periodic program performance 

reports. As a part of these reporting 

requirements, ECA requires 

implementing partners to provide 

performance monitoring data in the 

form of a post-program survey. The 

Qualtrics survey platform will be 

utilized by ECA and implementing 

partners to standardize post-program 

survey data collection, aggregation, and 

reporting both internally and externally. 

The Qualtrics platform will consolidate 

data from all ECA programs onto a 

single survey platform, streamlining the 

survey creation process, ensuring the 

reliability of data, and automatically 

aggregating and visualizing program 

performance data. 

Methodology 

ECA will be responsible for providing 

the username and login information for 

each implementing partner who will use 

the Qualtrics platform for the postprogram surveys required to meet the 

performance monitoring reporting 

requirements outlined in the award. 

ECA will also be responsible for 

providing the suite of survey questions 

within Qualtrics to ease the burden of 

setup for the implementing partners. 

The implementing partners will be 

responsible for selecting the required 

survey questions, inserting any custom 

survey questions they would like to ask, 

creating the mailing list of respondents, 

and launching the survey.

Managing Director, Policy, Bureau of 

Educational and Cultural Affairs, Department 

of State.
