The “Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) How-To Guide: Performance Indicators” outlines the requirements for developing PMPs for CT/P grant applicants and grantees, as mandated by 18 FAM 301.4-3. The guide focuses on performance indicators, a key PMP component, categorizing them as output-level (measuring immediate deliverables) and outcome-level (measuring achieved results). All indicators must be

The Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) How-To Guide assists CT/P grant applicants and grantees in developing PMPs, a mandatory requirement for federal programs and projects under 18 FAM 301.4-3. This guide outlines key PMP components, focusing on performance indicators, which are crucial for measuring project implementation and progress. PMPs must include both output-level indicators, measuring immediate deliverables, and outcome-level indicators, assessing achieved changes. Indicators should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound) and include at least three CT Standard Indicators, along with any necessary customized indicators. Other essential components include indicator definitions, data disaggregation (e.g., by sex or location), data sources (primary or secondary), reporting frequency, responsible points of contact, units of measure, initial baselines, and final targets. The guide emphasizes robust PMPs that capture tangible achievements and provides a sample CT project template to illustrate these components in practice, ensuring effective project monitoring and evaluation.

The “Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) How-To Guide: Performance Indicators” outlines requirements for federal grant applicants and grantees to develop PMPs, as mandated by 18 FAM 301.4-3. This guide focuses on performance indicators, a crucial component for measuring and monitoring project implementation. PMPs must include both output-level indicators (measuring immediate deliverables) and outcome-level indicators (measuring achieved changes), with specific minimums for each. Indicators must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound) and quantitative. The guide details other essential PMP components such as indicator definitions, data disaggregation, data sources, reporting frequency, responsible personnel, unit of measure, initial baselines, and final targets. It also provides a sample CT Project/Template and Annexes with “SMART” indicator explanations and CT-wide standard indicators that grantees must incorporate. The document emphasizes robust PMPs that capture both outputs and outcomes, leveraging CT Standard Indicators and ensuring data disaggregation for relevant demographic categories.

The Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) How-To Guide assists CT/P grant applicants and grantees in developing PMPs, a mandatory component for federal programs per 18 FAM 301.4-3. This guide focuses on performance indicators, which are crucial for measuring project implementation and progress. PMPs must include both output-level indicators (measuring immediate deliverables like the number of trainings conducted) and outcome-level indicators (measuring achieved changes such as knowledge gained). All indicators must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound) and quantitatively measurable. Grantees are required to use at least three CT Standard Indicators, along with any necessary customized indicators. The PMP also requires detailed indicator definitions, data disaggregation (e.g., by sex or location), identification of data sources (primary or secondary), reporting frequency, responsible personnel, unit of measure, initial baselines, and final targets. The document provides a sample PMP template and examples to illustrate these components, emphasizing the importance of robust PMPs that capture tangible achievements and adhere to established standards for effective project monitoring.
