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 post-program 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.
Sheila Casey,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy, Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs, Department of State.
