Project Description

In 2017, QED Group was awarded a master IDIQ contract to provide performance monitoring and evaluation services to the US Department of State.

Strengthening Performance Management and Evaluation

With the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) in 2010, the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) aligned their policy priorities, strategic responses, budget planning, and performance management to provide more nimble and better coordinated responses.

To facilitate the change, the Department created the Managing for Results (MfR) framework to provide bureaus and offices with an integrated, multi-year planning and budgeting process to link strategy and resources to support program activity with strengthened performance management and evaluation.
