SUBJECT: Revised Timing for Launch of the FY 2012
Mission Strategic Plan(MSP)
1. Summary. The FY 2012 MSP launch, initially planned
for early December, has been delayed to provide
additional time to revise the MSP process, guidance,
and content. End Summary.
2. State and USAID recently completed phase one of the
Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR). A
key initial finding points to the need for reform in
the annual planning processes to establish greater
linkage among policy objectives, resource requests,
program information and performance impacts. Continued
work by the QDDR team to review all State and USAID
planning processes over the coming months will result
in further recommendations for integration of multiple
planning processes aimed at greater efficiency and
efficacy. The FY 2012 MSP is the first planning
process to be revised.
3. Revisions to the current MSP process and guidance
will be issued in the coming month. Key components
will include: (1) clear guidance outlining the foreign
policy priorities of the Secretary; (2) realistic
resource planning parameters; (3) increased linkages
between proposed programs, resource levels, and
performance outcomes. The goal of these first planning
reforms is to provide greater clarity into how policy,
program and resource decisions are being evaluated,
proposed, and determined.
4. RM/SPP will keep posts apprised of further
developments and timeline through regular communication
via MSP coordinators. Thank you in advance for your
cooperation in preparing for the FY 2012 MSP cycle. The
point of contact continues to be the shared mailbox at
sppmsp@state.gov in RM/SPP.
5. Minimize considered.
