摘要

Under Contract No. PCE-I-00-00-00013-00, Task Order 004, the Country Analytical Support (CAS) Project, 2004-2006, sponsored by the Economic Growth office of USAIDs Bureau of Economic Growth, Agriculture and Trade (EGAT), Nathan Associates Inc. developed a standard methodology for producing analytical reports to provide a clear and concise evaluation of economic growth performance in designated countries receiving USAID assistance. The reports are tailored to meet the needs of USAID missions and regional bureaus for country-specific analysis. Each report contains: A synthesis of key data indicators drawn from numerous sources, including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the United Nations, other international data sets, and host-country documents and data sources; International benchmarking to assess country performance in comparison to similar countries, groups of countries, and predicted values based on international data; An easy-to-read analytic narrative that highlights areas in which a countrys performance is particularly strong or weak, to assist in the identification of future programming priorities; and A convenient summary of the main findings, in the form of a Highlights Table and a Performance Scorecard (in lieu of an Executive Summary).
