This document, the USAID Policy Framework 2011-2015, provides our staff and partners worldwide with a clear sense of our core development priorities, translates the PPD-6 and the QDDR (as well as future iterations of the QDDR and relevant presidential directives) into more detailed operational principles, and explains how we will apply these principles across our entire portfolio. The Framework also lays out the agenda for institutional reform known as USAID Forward, which is preparing the Agency to respond to the development challenges of the coming decades.
