June 27, 2024 - Business Forecast and Partner Update Script

For those who are new, the ADS outlines the organization and functions of USAID, along with the policies and procedures that guide the Agency's programs and operations. [...] The new, revised ADS 200, now with its new title, which you can see on this slide, reflects reorganization within the Agency and clarifies the roles of the Bureau for Planning, Learning and Resource Management (PLR), and the independent Office of Policy (POL) in the formulation, implementation, revision, retirement, and governance of our policies. [...] I am happy to share some of the additional activities happening in the DEIA Office and across the Agency to advance the Agency’s equity efforts. [...] To advance this effort further, we’ve been engaging with colleagues around the world to support learning, collaborating, and action planning around operationalizing the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility and the dimensions of the 5Ps. [...] Please remember that we will not be having a Fiscal Year 2024 Quarter 4 Business Forecast and Partner Update webinar and we will not be soliciting questions on the Business Forecast activities as this is the end of the Fiscal Year and all of our Acquisition and Assistance staff are working tirelessly to finalize funding obligations for the year.
