A centralized measurement system was needed to track, monitor and evaluate the impact of public diplomacy activities, as well as offer public diplomacy practitioners a practical tool for strategic planning purposes. With the dramatic of expansion of public diplomacy programs after September 11, the General Accountability Office (GAO) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recommended that public diplomacy activities at the U.S. Department of State achieve greater accountability and efficiency through the incorporation of performance measurement and management practices. In response, the Mission Activity Tracker (MAT) was developed. MAT is a high profile web-based application used by State Department employees world-wide. MAT provides its users with the ability to capture qualitative and quantitative data (inputs, outputs, and outcomes) about public diplomacy activities that engage foreign audiences; it also provides customized reports to assist Posts evaluate their progress towards meeting key U.S. foreign policy objectives. MAT was recently converted from a JavaScript/ColdFusion front-end (ExtJS 1.0/ColdFusion 7) and Oracle database back-end (Oracle 10g) to Flex 4.6 and ColdFusion 9 to better position the application for mobile use, improve performance and maintenance capabilities and to be able to respond more quickly to software change requests. We will be upgrading to Oracle 11g in the near future. The team is comprised of a Program Manager, a Project Manager, an Oracle DBA, a Technical Support Analyst and a Developer.
