AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; Information Collection Generic Clearance Request for USAID 
Workforce and Organizational Surveys

AGENCY: Agency for International Development (USAID).

ACTION: Notice of Information Collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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.

DATES: All comments should be submitted within 60 calendar days from 
the date of this publication.

ADDRESSES: Comments submitted in response to this notice should be 
submitted to Email: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Roen, USAID Bureau for 
Planning, Learning and Resource Management, telephone 202-712-1493, or 
via email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
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 
States and will collect data from approximately 450,000 respondents per 
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.

Elizabeth Roen,
Deputy Director, Office of Learning, Evaluation and Research.
