Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The U.S. State Department is required to collect periodic program 
performance reports. As a part of these reporting requirements, ECA 
requires implementing partners to provide performance monitoring data 
in the form of a post-program survey. The Qualtrics survey platform

program survey data collection, aggregation, and reporting both 
internally and externally. The Qualtrics platform will consolidate data 
from all ECA programs onto a single survey platform, streamlining the 
survey creation process, ensuring the reliability of data, and 
automatically aggregating and visualizing program performance data.

Methodology

    ECA will be responsible for providing the username and login 
information for each implementing partner who will use the Qualtrics 
platform for the post-program surveys required to meet the performance 
monitoring reporting requirements outlined in the award. ECA will also 
be responsible for providing the suite of survey questions within 
Qualtrics to ease the burden of setup for the implementing partners. 
The implementing partners will be responsible for selecting the 
required survey questions, inserting any custom survey questions they 
would like to ask, creating the mailing list of respondents, and 
launching the survey.
