    The summary provides an update on progress made towards recommendations from 2008 for the Obama administration and Congress regarding US foreign assistance. It reports that while other countries have adopted the Millennium Development Goals, the US is not fully aligned. It also notes that the recommendation to appoint a key leader for USAID has not been implemented, as the position of administrator remains unfilled. Responsibility for foreign aid programs currently lies with the Deputy Secretary of State instead.
