eign assistance programs and the Agency for Inter-
national Development are in need of immediate re-
form; and
(2) remains prepared to enact reform legislation
in time for the fiscal year 1995 authorization and
appropriations cycle.
(b) COMPREHENSIVE REFORM PLAN.—To facilitate
this reform process, the President shall submit to the Con-
gress, within 60 days after the date of enactment of this
Act, a plan for comprehensive reform of United States for-
eign assistance programs and of the agency primarily re-
sponsible for administering part I of the Foreign Assist-
ance Act of 1961.
SEC. 102. EVALUATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
Section 125 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961
is amended to read as follows:
‘‘SEC. 125. EVALUATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
‘‘(a) NEED FOR EVALUATION.—In order to effec-
tively and responsibly manage the resources with which
it is provided, the agency primarily responsible for admin-
istering this part must have a capacity to evaluate objec-
tively the extent of its progress in achieving development
results and to derive lessons from its development experi-
ence.
‘‘(b) ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN.—In furtherance of
subsection (a), the President shall establish a program
performance, monitoring, and evaluation capacity within
the agency primarily responsible for administering this
part that will do the following:
‘‘(1) Enhance, through training and other
means, the use of program performance, monitoring,
and evaluation as a management tool, by both the
agency and its counterparts in countries receiving
assistance, in the planning, designing, and imple-
mentation of foreign assistance projects and pro-
grams.
‘‘(2) Develop a program performance informa-
tion system to afford agency managers at all levels
a means for monitoring and assessing achievement
of impact and interim performance of the agency’s
major programs in support of the strategic manage-
ment of economic assistance.
‘‘(3) Prepare and disseminate objective and
periodic reports on the progress of the agency in
meeting development objectives and on lessons
learned from its development programs.
‘‘(4) Strengthen the capacity to utilize the find-
ings of program performance, measurement, and
evaluation in decisions of the agency about program
direction and resource allocation.
‘‘(5) Coordinate with the Inspector General of
the 
agency 
so 
as 
to 
ensure 
appropriate
complementarity of efforts, recognizing that—
‘‘(A) it is the responsibility of the agency
to direct a system of performance measurement
and independent evaluations of its programs
and policies, as well as the operational and
management systems that affect the develop-
ment impact of those programs and policies;
and
‘‘(B) it is the responsibility of the Inspec-
tor General to conduct regular and comprehen-
sive assessments and audits of financial man-
agement and administrative systems, including
the adequacy of the systems for monitoring and
evaluating agency projects and programs.
‘‘(c) ACCOUNTABILITY.—The President shall prepare
an annual report to the Congress as a separate part of
the congressional presentation materials of the agency pri-
marily responsible for administering this part. This report
shall include the following:
‘‘(1) An assessment of progress toward the
achievement of sustainable development objectives,
based on the findings of program performance, mon-
itoring, and evaluation studies conducted by the
agency and on such other empirical analyses as may
be appropriate.
‘‘(2) An analysis, on a country-by-country basis,
of the impact on economic development in each such
country during the preceding 3 to 5 fiscal years of
United States economic assistance programs, with a
discussion of the United States interests that were
served by the assistance. Each country receiving eco-
nomic assistance under this part or under the Sup-
port for East European Democracy (SEED) Act of
1989 shall be included in such an analysis at least
once every 5 years. For each country, the analysis
shall—
‘‘(A) describe the specific objectives the
United States sought to achieve in providing
economic assistance, and specify the extent to
which those objectives were or were not
achieved;
‘‘(B) to the extent possible, be done on a
sector-by-sector basis and identify trends (both
favorable and unfavorable) within each sector
and, if relevant, identify any economic policy re-
forms conducive to sustainable economic growth
that were promoted by the assistance and the
progress being made by the country in adopting
economic policies that foster and enhance the
freedom and opportunity of individuals to par-
ticipate in economic growth in the country;
‘‘(C) as part of the context of United
States economic assistance, describe the amount
and nature of economic assistance provided by
other major donors during the preceding 3 to 5
fiscal years, set forth by the development sector
to the extent possible; and
‘‘(D) contain statistical and other informa-
tion necessary to evaluate the impact and effec-
tiveness of United States economic assistance
on development in the country.’’.
