Abstract
USAID proposes a generic clearance to collect feedback and conduct research, monitoring and evaluations of programs and policies through surveys, interviews, and focus groups to understand effectiveness of programs and policies and to discern how programs are affected by crises and other unexpected changes in context. This will help the Agency make better decisions to improve the effectiveness of programs and achieve development and foreign assistance objectives through activities pursuant to Foreign Assistance Act, including under rapidly changing conditions. This will also help safeguard U.S. National Security interests and ensure accountability to U.S. taxpayers. Information collected from USAID partners, stakeholders and program participants is a valuable resource to ensure the Agency programs and operations remain safe, relevant, efficient and effective.

Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), USAID is providing the
general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on
the proposed collection of information. USAID is requesting a general
clearance to collect feedback and conduct research, monitoring and
evaluations of programs and policies through surveys, interviews, and
focus groups to understand effectiveness of programs and policies and
to discern how programs are affected by crises and other unexpected
changes in context. USAID conducts programs outside of the United

year, made up primarily of foreign nationals participating in USAID
programs, other stakeholders local to the programs, and federal
contractors and grantees implementing the programs. The collection of
personally identifiable information will be kept to the minimum. The
total estimated number of annual burden hours is 225,000 hours.
OMB Control Number: TBD.
