Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) Status
Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) Status
The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) is used by agencies across the Federal government to assess program performance and to drive a sustained focus on program results. A key component of the President's Management Agenda, PART assessments review overall program effectiveness, from how well a program is designed to how well it is implemented and what results it achieves. PART results are used to improve program management and to ensure the most effective and efficient use of taxpayer dollars.
Since 2002, the Department and OMB have used PART to review a total of fifty-two programs covering State Operations and Foreign Assistance. In 2007, the Department completed five new foreign assistance PARTs, three of which are pilot PARTs managed jointly with USAID. The chart below lists the fifty-two programs assessed between 2002 and 2007 and their PART scores and ratings.
