Introduction

Strategic frameworks and their use in project design for Food for Progress and McGovern-Dole

Use of indicators to show impact of your work

How frameworks and indicators will be integrated into USDA’s programs

Strategic Frameworks and Indicators

A new approach based on a global food security strategy

A need to show program results To give USDA programs clear

objectives A transition period A need for consultation with

program participants

Development of Frameworks for Food for Progress

Began with a review of past programming Met in November with program participants Developed program categories or types that

described nearly all of the projects we fund Identified indicators Developed strategic objectives and

frameworks
