There is a direct correlation between all 16 JSP objectives and 13 of 15 NSS objectives. The JSP was developed through policy guidance from the Secretary of State, USAID Administrator, Congress, and the National Security Council. The JSP informed the overarching policy direction for the seven State-USAID Joint Regional Strategies, 40 Functional Bureau Strategies, and Integrated Country Strategies. The goals and objectives established in the JSP provide both a policy and strategic vision for all Department bureaus and posts by laying out actions and performance goals, which all bureaus and posts needed to consider in developing their respective strategies. The goals and objectives in each bureau- and mission-level strategy are available to the public through the Department’s internet site at https://www.state.gov/plans-performance-budget/ .

APGs support improvements in near-term outcomes, customer service or efficiencies, and advance progress toward longer-term, outcome-focused strategic goals and objectives. 14 | U nited S tates D epartment of S tate 2019 A gency F inancial R eport MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | STRATEGIC GOALS AND GOVERNMENT-WIDE INITIATIVES
