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. PART assessments review overall program effectiveness, from how well a program is designed to how well it is implemented and what results it achieves. Programs are rated in five categories: Effective, Moderately Effective, Adequate, Ineffective, and Results Not Demonstrated.
Since 2002, the Department and OMB have used PART to review a total of 52 programs covering State Operations and Foreign Assistance, three of which are jointly administered with USAID. The chart below lists these programs and their PART scores and ratings. None of the Department's programs are rated as Ineffective or Results Not Demonstrated, whereas 22 percent of U.S. Government programs carry one of these two ratings.
