National Nuclear Security Administration: Global Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention

The program prevents weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation by providing grants, in partnership with U.S. firms, to former WMD experts in Russia, other states of the former Soviet Union, Libya, Iraq, and other regions to redirect the displaced experts into sustained non-military employment.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • The program has a clear and unique purpose in redirecting displaced WMD experts into commercial activities to minimize the likelihood of scientists assisting terrorists and states of concern.
  • The program has demonstrated good progress in achieving its long-term and annual goals. Through fiscal year 2004, 11,700 displaced WMD experts were employed in Global Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention grants and long-term private sector jobs.
  • The exact population of displaced WMD experts worldwide is dynamic as experts find non-military jobs that fluctuate with economies, move, retire, and die. The program must continue to develop improved understanding of the scope of the threat in this evolving environment.

Improvement Plan
