Evaluation of Peace Corps/Albania

We recommend that the country director direct the Medical Officer to determine the viability of the Greek Hospital for the medical care of Volunteers, and, if the hospital is an appropriate facility, communicate its availability to Volunteers.

We recommend that the country director reevaluate and update the per diem rates for travel (outside of Tirana) to reflect reasonable travel costs, in accordance with OFMH.

We recommend that OSIRP revise the performance goals and indicators in the Strategic Performance Plan for 2009-2014 to provide a more complete and reliable presentation of Peace Corps performance.

We recommend that the Center for Field Research and Assistance, the EMA regional
director, and the country director (in implementing the revised processes
for reporting information of individuals assisted and service providers
trained) assure that performance information reported (1) is useful to
management, (2) is subject to verification and validation, and (3)
considers both costs and benefits.
