SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
ending May 31, 2023 (ICR reference #:
202211–0412–001; OMB control #:
0412–0621) which allows for mandatory
reporting of COVID–19 performance
indicators. This activity-level
information, in conjunction with
contextual data, allows USAID to track
progress against the objectives of the
U.S. Global COVID–19 Response and
Recovery Framework. It will be used for
adaptive management, evidence-based
strategic decision-making, and
accountability. Information will be
requested of contracts and grants in the
Global VAX surge countries (Angola,
Coˆte d’Ivoire, Eswatini, Ghana, Lesotho,
Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa,
Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia) and for
contracts and grants receiving more than
$500,000 in COVID–19 funds obligated
after 9/1/2022 in Ethiopia, Liberia,
Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique,
Haiti and the Philippines.
Description of Proposed Use of
Information
The performance data would
supplement contextual, country-level
data currently analyzed by USAID and
will provide critical, timely insight into
the Agency’s COVID–19 response. The
collection and reporting of performance
indicators by USAID’s IPs will facilitate
adaptive management, strategic
planning, and ensure that COVID–19
response activities are continually
aligned with the Agency’s primary
objectives and the evolving nature of the
pandemic. The data will inform the
strategic and operational approaches of
both the Agency’s Washington offices
and field-based Missions involved in
the COVID–19 response.
Time Burden
USAID estimates an annual time
burden of 332 hours per award or 83
hours per response, assuming most
awards report on a quarterly basis.
USAID expects that a total of 46 awards
will be subject to the information
collection requirements; for these
awards, the time burden is expected to
total 15,272 hours per year.

Director, USAID COVID–19 Response Team.
