CARPE will operate as regional Strategic Objective (SO) in the environment sector managed from USAID/DRC. An interagency team will provide advice and recommendations related to CBFP activities under CARPE. In support of the broad goals and interests of the U.S. Government, CARPE’s Strategic Objective will contribute to economic development and the alleviation of poverty throughout Central Africa. This will benefit not only the people and countries of the region, but also U.S. citizens and the global community as well. It will do so by helping to conserve the forests and other biological resources that are essential for economic development in the region. It will also contribute to slowing global climate change and conserving the species and genetic resources of the Congo Basin.

Part of the process of developing a Performance Management Plan involves reviewing the Results Framework, in order to validate the causal logic of the development hypothesis reflected in the IRs and sub-IRs (USAID/PPC. 2003). This review process took place at a Performance Management Workshop of the CARPE, Phase II, Strategic Objective Team, held in Washington, D.C., from December 1-3, 2003.

Here is the document (pdf 181ko) presenting the plan entirely and a modified Results Framework that was proposed by these partners for use in developing and implementing the Performance Management Plan. There are also inside some Performance Indicator Summary Sheets for each of the SO- and IRlevel indicators. These are the indicators that CARPE management is required to report to USAID.
