MODERATELY EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS

WHAT DOES THE MODERATELY EFFECTIVE RATING MEAN?

The program rating indicates how well a program is performing, so the public can see how effectively tax dollars are being spent.

In general, a program rated Moderately Effective has set ambitious goals and is well-managed. Moderately Effective programs likely need to improve their efficiency or address other problems in the programs' design or management in order to achieve better results. Moderately Effective programs are categorized as Performing on ExpectMore.gov.

Based on our most recent assessments, 32% of Federal programs are Moderately Effective.

More information on how we assess and rate programs is available here. Funding information for each program can be found with the President's Budget.
