Sec. 226.51  Monitoring and reporting program performance.

    (a) Recipients are responsible for managing and monitoring each

audit requirements as delineated in Section 226.26.

    (b) The terms and conditions of the agreement will prescribe the 
frequency with which the performance reports shall be submitted. Except 
as provided in paragraph 226.51(f), performance reports will not be 
required more frequently than quarterly or, less frequently than 
annually. Annual reports shall be due 90 calendar days after the award 
year; quarterly or semi-annual reports shall be due 30 days after the 
reporting period. USAID may require annual reports before the 
anniversary dates of multiple year awards in lieu of these requirements. 
The final performance reports are due 90 calendar days after the 
expiration or termination of the award.
    (c) If inappropriate, a final technical or performance report shall 
not be required after completion of the project.
    (d) Performance reports shall generally contain, for each award, 
brief information on each of the following:
    (1) A comparison of actual accomplishments with the goals and 
objectives established for the period, the findings of the investigator, 
or both. Whenever appropriate and the output of programs or projects can 
be readily quantified, such quantitative data should be related to cost 
data for computation of unit costs.
    (2) Reasons why established goals were not met, if appropriate.
    (3) Other pertinent information including, when appropriate, 
analysis and explanation of cost overruns or high unit costs.
    (e) Recipients shall submit the original and two copies of 
performance reports.
    (f) Recipients shall immediately notify USAID of developments that 
have a significant impact on the award-supported activities. Also, 
notification shall be given in the case of problems, delays, or adverse 
conditions which materially impair the ability to meet the objectives of 
the award. This notification shall include a statement of the action 
taken or contemplated, and any assistance needed to resolve the 
situation.
    (g) USAID may make site visits, as needed.
    (h) USAID shall comply with clearance requirements of 5 CFR part 
1320 when requesting performance data from recipients.
