Is it also correct that section 8E(a), ``Monitoring and Evaluation,'' is not intended to impose new requirements on the agency, nor to supersede current requirements in law, such as those of the Government Performance Results Act--Modernization Act, enacted in 2010. The GPRA-MA requires agencies to develop strategic and performance plans, among other things. To the extent that the agency already meets the requirements of this subsection to monitor and evaluate country programs and directors, it would not have to expend additional scarce resources for these purposes.
