  2. USAID Website Modernization Project June 15, 2012 Agenda • Overview • Requirements Process • Content • Mapping Application • Development Experience Clearinghouse • Mobile Applications • Project Related Sites • Next Steps - Future Phases

  3. Overview • USAID.Gov was launched on June 7 with a new look and feel. • The Administrator has taken a hands-on approach to deliver a more transparent, customer-oriented site. • All of USAID website content will be migrated to the new site throughout the remainder of the calendar year. • Website content will be lighter, and flatter across the agency and easier to find and use by stakeholders. • A revised Governance structure is currently being developed and will define website roles and responsibilities.

  4. Requirements Process Conducted the following with internal and external stakeholders:

  5. Content • LPA is leading the content management and migration on this project. Content clean-up efforts began last summer. LPA engaged with offices/bureaus and the 22 Phase 1missions to ensure that going forward content is consistent and standardized across the board. • Website content is lighter, and flatter across the agency and easier to find and use by stakeholders. • Content of the website is broken down in to the following key areas: • Who We Are – About the Agency • What We Do – The sectors the Agency works in • Where We Work – Information specific to Regions and Countries • Results and Data – How we measure results and the results we achieve • News and Information – Latest happenings at USAID • Work with USAID – How to partner with or get a job with USAID

  6. Mapping Application • AIDtracker, is a prototype tool that aids the M/CIO collect program/project data which will allow you to have a portfolio view of projects, tracked to dollar spending. • The mapping application allows to view specific project information by geographic location • Data in AIDtracker is extracted from Agency corporate systems. • The focus for Phase 1 was to have data for 22 specific missions. An additional 18 missions decided to validate project information which is also now available.

  7. Development Experience Clearinghouse • USAID's  Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC) is the largest online resource for USAID-funded technical and program documentation from more than 50 years of USAID's existence, with more than 155,000 documents available for viewing and electronic • Additional functionality provided by the new DEC includes: • Social Features that allow users to comment on, rate, vote on the usefulness and share documents with others. • A map feature that allows users to view documents by geographic location • A mobile website that provides mobile users with improved access • Easy access to a collection of recent evaluations • Streamlined submissions process. Documents uploaded to the DEC by submitters are available immediately.

  8. Mobile Applications The new usaid.gov website has two mobile applications • DEC Evaluations - Improves access to USAID funded evaluation reports by providing a mobile solution for accessing a subset of DEC evaluation documents.  • Portfolio Map - Browses our portfolio for a subset of the countries in which USAID is working using the interactive map.   The app will provide general country overviews at a glance and also will allow users to access more detailed information as needed.  These mobile applications allow users to access information using iPads and iPhones.

  9. Project Related Sites • Mission websites and microsites (i.e. stand-alone websites) are being integrated under the new usaid.gov site. • This aligns with the White House’s ‘Campaign to Cut Waste’.  • Specifically, the June 2011 .gov domain registration freeze is intended to limit the proliferation of new domains and stand-alone Web sites. • This effort is to improve customers’ ability to locate Government information and services, identify duplicate or non-integrated sites, consolidate use of Web resources, and improve efficiency by leveraging existing platforms and infrastructure • There is no plan to include project related sites as defined in ADS 557.3.4.1 or 557.3.4.2 in this integration for CY 12 • Project sites are those sites developed by partners or contractors under either acquisition or assistance instruments with USAID which develop web sites to share information with project members • The integration of these sites will be re-evaluated in CY 13.
