Programmatic Reporting Guide
FFP carries a portfolio of statutory and non-statutory reporting obligations including the Food Aid Quality Review (FAQR), congressional reporting touchpoints, and partner-facing reporting. USDA needs a reporting architecture that USDA can run.
Why It Matters
Reporting cadence and accuracy are visible to Congress, OIG, and the public. Reporting that breaks invites oversight escalation. Reporting that works builds program credibility.
HSG's Approach
- 1Document the full FFP reporting calendar — FAQR, congressional touchpoints, partner reporting.
- 2Map every reporting flow to its statutory or contractual source.
- 3Build report-production templates and the AI-augmented draft-generation workflow.
- 4Define USDA-side ownership and approval architecture.
Expected Deliverables
- Programmatic Reporting Guide (PWS Deliverable 8) — month 8
- FFP reporting calendar with statutory mapping
- Report templates with AI-augmented draft generation
- Ownership and approval architecture
Expected Outcome
USDA produces FFP reports on cadence, with traceable methodology, defensible accuracy, and a clear ownership map.
