Pt I Line 2Plan International USA, Inc. is the United States member organization of
Pt I Line 2Plan International, Inc. ("PII"). Plan International USA implements the vast
Pt I Line 2majority of its international activities through PII and the $36,379,035
Pt I Line 2represents the program support funding transferred or accrued to PII during the year
Pt I Line 2ended June 30, 2017 for community development projects focusing on children
Pt I Line 2in over 50 developing countries around the world.
Pt I Line 2Plan International USA monitors funds transferred to PII regularly throughout
Pt I Line 2each fiscal year. Plan International USA staff are involved in the planning,
Pt I Line 2design, and implementation of programs that are currently administered through
Pt I Line 2PII and work directly with staff of PII in these matters. Some of the
Pt I Line 2specific activities include:
Pt I Line 21. Plan International USA has access to and regularly reviews the global
Pt I Line 2organization's intranet site which includes significant amounts of data on
Pt I Line 2the program activities being conducted throughout all of the program locations.
Pt I Line 22. Plan International USA has regular access to the financial reporting
Pt I Line 2which allows for the monitoring of programs on a budget vs. actual basis as
Pt I Line 2well as providing some detail on the types of spending that are conducted in
Pt I Line 2the field so that the monitoring of the scope of work can be done.
Pt I Line 23. Plan International USA can review the results of the work conducted by PII's
Pt I Line 2Global Assurance Unit (i.e. Internal Audit) to gain satisfaction over the
Pt I Line 2procedures and controls that are in place at the program locations.
Pt I Line 24. Plan International USA staff conduct regular field visits whereby they
Pt I Line 2perform program monitoring and evaluation work as well as providing technical
Pt I Line 2program backstopping.
Pt I Line 25. Plan International USA has representation on many of the global management
Pt I Line 2committees and consortia that are in place to help oversee and guide the work of PII.
Pt I Line 26. An aspect of the global governance structure provides that the member
Pt I Line 2organizations of the global organization (Plan International USA is the U.S.
Pt I Line 2member of Plan International) share in the governance of the global
Pt I Line 2organization via representation on the Plan International Member's Assembly.
Pt I Line 2The Member's Assembly is composed of delegates from each member organization
Pt I Line 2around the world. Plan International USA currently has 2 delegates which are
Pt I Line 2elected by the Board of Directors of Plan International USA. The Member's
Pt I Line 2Assembly serves as the governance and policy setting Board for the
Pt I Line 2worldwide organization.
Pt I Line 2Overall, there is open communication between Plan International USA and PII
Pt I Line 2which provides for effective and timely oversight of the use of funding
Pt I Line 2provided by Plan International USA to PII.
Pt I Line 2Plan International USA monitors our grant to UNC as follows: (a) We monitor monthly spending based on a financial reporting tracker which the sub-grantee submits alongside an invoice for the work they have completed during the reporting period. This shows absolute figures by month, relative spending against budgeted ceiling and trends over time. Also, the Senior Program Director prepares a written summary for the UNC Water Institute management staff which points to areas in the budget which are trending low and asks for feedback on the same. (b) Every quarter, we receive and review a summary report from UNC on the programmatic progress that the sub-grantee has made; typically broken down by several sections: activities undertaken, deliverables reported, impact of outcomes, risks going forward. (c) We also conduct regular check-in calls (typically scheduled every two weeks) and regular face to face meetings. Separate agendas are developed to review progress at these meetings which include scorecards for our partnership as a whole to highlight where things are working well and if there are areas of improvement to work on.
Pt I Line 2Plan International USA's subgrant to School-to-School International ("STS")related to an education project being conducted in Niger. Plan International USA monitored the activities of STS both in the field-country and remotely through review of monthly financial reports, quarterly program performance reports, country office visits and by taking the lead role in the monitoring and evaluation process.

OtherA. PROGRAM AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT
OtherProgram and Technical Support Funding of $46,358,306 (for the
Otherfiscal year ended June 30, 2017) represents funds received by
OtherPlan International USA from sponsors, donors, and other entities
Other(such as the U.S. government, corporations, foundations, etc.),
Other$8,572,436 of which was used on programmatic activities conducted
Otherdirectly by Plan International USA, and $37,785,870 of which more
Otherthan 96 percent was transferred to PII and combined with the funding
Otherreceived from the other 20 member offices around the world. The
Othercombined funds are then used to support field programs in more
Otherthan 53,000 communities in over 50 developing countries.
OtherPlan's field programs are focused on the following six core areas described below:
OtherEDUCATION
OtherPlan's goal: Children and youth will realize their right
Otherto quality education.
OtherEducation is one of the most powerful tools available to
Otherensure children are able to fulfill their potential. Every
Otherchild has the right to education, but many are excluded
Otherbecause of poverty, gender, disability, geographical remoteness,
Otheror language or cultural barriers.
OtherWe work to promote free, equal access to quality education for
Otherall children. We promote child-friendly learning environments;
Otherdevelop teaching skills and teaching materials; provide training
Otherto government staff; and work closely with parents and communities
Otherto enable them to support their children's learning at home, in
Otherschool, and in the wider community. Through our engagements, we
Otherencourage young people and critical community stakeholders to
Otherbe advocates for the change they desire.
OtherWe work with national and local governments to help improve the
Otherlaws and public policy on education, and we take part in local,
Othernational, and international campaigns to support quality education
Otherfor all.
OtherIn fiscal year 2017, Plan International USA's expenditures in
Othereducation totaled approximately $8,711,102, with $6,217,282 transferred
Otherto PII for our overseas programs. Examples of Plan's FY17 projects
Otherin this area include: Kenya Community-Led Action for Children;
OtherSenegal All Children Reading; and Tanzania Tusome Pamoja.
OtherCommunity-led Action for Children
OtherThis $2.3 million project, funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation,
Otheris the second phase of the Community-Led Action for Children project
Otherthat initially targeted children in communities affected by the
OtherHIV/AIDS pandemic in Kenya and Mozambique. This three-year, eight-month
Othereffort provides preschool-aged children with a healthy and strong
Otherstart in life through an array of interventions and has now refocused
Otherits efforts primarily in the Kisumu region of Kenya. Critical
Otherpillars of the project include active parenting education; establishment
Otherof early learning centers in communities; support for the easy
Othertransition of early learners to primary school (including their
Othersuccessful retention); expansion of community referral systems
Otherto meet children's education and health needs; and policy advocacy
Otherand partnerships to strengthen national and sub-national Early
OtherChildhood Care and Development (ECCD) policies and systems that
Otherbuild upon a strong evidence base. The initiative also targets
Otherefforts that foster positive family relationships between parents
Otherand child and between spouses; enhance male-caregiver roles in
Othersupport of and engagement with their child; and strengthen families'
Othereconomic security through Village Savings and Loans Associations.
OtherSenegal Lecture Pour Tous (All Children Reading)
OtherLecture Pour Tous is a five-year early grade reading program funded
Otherby USAID and implemented by prime contractor Chemonics in support
Otherof the Ministry-led Senegalese National Reading Program. The program
Otheraims to greatly improve reading levels for students in Grades
Other1-3, with 70 percent of Grade 2 students reading at grade level
Otherby the end of the program. As a lead subcontractor, Plan's $4.43
Othermillion initiative focuses on implementing a comprehensive social
Otherbehavior change communication (SBCC) strategy in five regions
Otherof Senegal, designed to increase parent demand for quality reading
Otherinstruction in schools and provide them with the skills to effectively
Othersupport their children at home as they learn to read. Traditionally
Otherused within health and agricultural interventions, Plan is among
Otherthe first organizations to test comprehensive SBCC approaches
Otherin the education sector. Our team will be working to transform
Otherthe knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of key community members,
Otherincluding parents and caregivers, teachers, school directors,
Otherand community leaders through targeted communication campaigns,
Otherparent and school management trainings, and NGO capacity development.
OtherKey accomplishments thus far include the development of a comprehensive
OtherCommunity Literacy Support Plan and SBCC communication and training
Othermaterials that challenge gender norms and promote positive parent-child
Otherinteraction around learning.
OtherTanzania Tusome Pamoja
OtherThe project aims to provide instruction in the 3Rs of learning
Other(reading, writing, and arithmetic) in grades 1-3 to teachers and
Otherlocal government officials to help improve learning in Tanzanian
Otherchildren. The improved instruction takes place alongside a specific
Otherfocus on increasing parental engagement in their children's education,
Otherschool planning, and achievement. Plan is specifically responsible
Otherfor increasing parents' understanding and knowledge around the
Otherimportance of education; the role they can play in their children's
Otherlearning; and the positive impacts education can have on their
Otherlives. Working with targeted SBCC strategies through posters,
Othernoticeboards, radio campaigns, and parent trainings, Plan is working
Otherdirectly with the greatest influencers in a child's life: parents.
OtherPlan encourages the education and empowerment of parents to support
Othertheir children's development. Beyond education and information
Otherdissemination, Plan leads the formation of Parent Teacher Partnerships
Other(PTPs) and School Management Committees (SMCs) in the schools,
Otheras well as the training of Community Education Mobilizers (CEMs)
Otherwho support the community in the roll-out of self-learning modules
Otheron key parent/child-related topics. The comprehensive nature of
Otherthe program is already showing significant signs of impact in
Otherresponding to the needs of children and their community structures
Otheracross Tanzania.
Other2. HEALTH
OtherPlan's goal: Providing the tools, training, and resources
Otherfor communities to raise healthy children. Children and
Otheryouth will realize their right to sexual and reproductive
Otherhealth, including HIV prevention, care, and treatment.
OtherPlan supports a range of programs that reduce newborn and
Othermaternal mortality, increase child survival, and support
Otherthe healthy development of children into adulthood. These
Otherinterventions include initiatives to prevent and combat specific
Otheravoidable childhood illnesses.
OtherWe promote good nutrition, early child development, and early
Othereducation, providing support for parents and caregivers.
OtherWe work with our partners to help mothers, children, and
Otheryoung people access quality primary health care and social
Otherservices. We also support quality, age-appropriate reproductive
Otherand sexual health education and services for children and
Otheryoung people. We challenge the beliefs and attitudes that
Othermaintain inequality between the sexes. We also advocate for
Othermore effective policies and actions that respect and protect
Otherthe rights of children living in a world with HIV. These
Otherinclude the right to be protected from HIV and, for those
Otheraffected, to receive care and support. This work includes
Otheradvocating for children orphaned by AIDS to live with family
Othermembers. In FY17, Plan International USA's expenditures
Otherfor health totaled approximately $15,023,605, $12,382,092
Otherof which was transferred to PII. Examples of Plan's FY17
Otherprojects in this area include Nilinde: Support for Orphans
Otherand Vulnerable Girls and Boys in Nairobi and Coast Counties
Otherof Kenya; One Community; and USAID Systems for Health.
OtherNilinde: Support for Orphans and Vulnerable Girls and Boys in
OtherNairobi and Coast Counties of Kenya
OtherOn this $41,005,731 project, Plan leads a consortium that
Otheralso includes Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT),
OtherChildline Kenya, and mothers2mothers (m2m). The project, known
Otherlocally as "Nilinde," meaning "Protect Me" in Swahili, works
Otherto support at-risk children in Kenya by focusing on improving
Otherthe welfare and protection of the most vulnerable households
Otheraffected by HIV in Nairobi and Coast Counties. Nilinde works
Otherwith local partner organizations to increase household resiliency
Otherand empower parents and caregivers to make investments that
Otherwill improve the health and well-being of orphans and vulnerable
Otherchildren (OVC). Working at both local and national levels,
OtherNilinde aims to increase access to health and social services
Otherand support government efforts at strengthening child welfare
Otherand protection systems. Nilinde's holistic case management
Otherapproach connects health, nutrition, HIV services, psychosocial
Othersupport, and education to economic strengthening services
Otherdesigned to graduate families out of program support by developing
Othertheir ability to grow and sustain their assets, income, and
Otherskills. In Nairobi County, the project focuses on informal
Othersettlements where the majority of the OVC reside. In Coast
OtherCounties, the project works in both informal settlements
Otherin urban areas and in rural areas where larger OVC populations
Otherlive. Nilinde also works with Kenyan government agencies to
Otherstrengthen national monitoring and management information systems (MIS)
Otherfor OVC and integrates information and communications technology
Other(ICT) and social and behavior change communications (SBCC)
Otheracross project interventions. At the same time, Nilinde works
Otherwith governmental and non-governmental partners to use data for
Otherdecision making and to improve quality services to OVC.
OtherOne Community
OtherLed by the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs
Other(CCP), partnering with Project HOPE and Plan International USA,
Otherthe USAID-funded One Community Project (OC) focuses on building
Otherstrong HIV competent communities, families, and individuals.
OtherPlan's portion of the grant as a subcontractor is $4,528,075.
OtherThe project works in eight districts including Balaka, Machinga,
OtherPhalombe, Mulanje, Chikwawa, Blantyre, Zomba, and Mangochi,
Otherand is based on a socio-ecological model that links the actions
Otherof individual children, adolescents, and adults to the actions
Otherof families and communities, the services available to them,
Otherand the social structures that govern them. OC seeks to enable
Othercommunity resource persons to deliver core packages of evidence
Other-based interventions tailored to vulnerable groups such as OVCs
Otherand their families, adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV), adult
Otherpeople living with HIV (PLHIV), fisher folk, and mobile workers.
OtherThe OC team will work closely with MOH and Ministry of Social
OtherWelfare, President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and other stakeholders to define priority vulnerable populations and standard minimum packages of services. Working in the catchment areas of the PEPFAR priority sites to complement facility interventions, activities will specifically focus on community mobilization and engagement of
Otherlocal partners to reduce incidence of new infections and improve
Otherclinical, social, and economic outcomes among vulnerable groups. Plan's
Otherfocus areas are OVCs, Early Childhood Development, and Provision
Otherof services for adolescents living with HIV/AIDS (including
Otheryouth economic empowerment). Plan has also been tasked with
OtherDREAMS, PEPFAR's new initiative to reduce new HIV infections
Otheramong vulnerable Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) in
Otherten priority African countries, including Malawi. DREAMS addresses
Otherpositive sexual health behaviors, increases access to sexual
Otherand reproductive health services, and creates an enabling environment
Otherfor AGYW by supporting caregivers, addressing harmful community
Othernorms and practices, and creating safe spaces for AGYW in schools and in communities.
OtherSystems for Health
OtherThe USAID Systems for Health project in Ghana is supporting reductions
Otherin preventable child and maternal deaths, unmet need for family
Otherplanning, and childhood mortality and morbidity from malaria,
Otheras well as improving nutritional status for pregnant women and
Otherchildren under 5. This is accomplished by strengthening vital
Otherhealth systems building blocks, while mobilizing communities for
OtherCommunity-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) facilities,
Otherstrategic behavior change communication, and targeted demand generation
Otherto maximize service delivery coverage. The project is working
Otherin five regions of Ghana: Greater Accra, Central, Western, Volta,
Otherand Northern Region. The Systems for Health project consortium
Otheris led by University Research Co. LLC, (URC) with partners that
Otherinclude PATH, Plan International USA, and Results for Development
OtherInstitute. The project works in partnership and collaboration
Otherwith the Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, and local Ghanaian
Otherpartners. Plan's portion of the grant is $4.3 million.
OtherPlan's role on the project is to increase demand for services
Otherby an empowered population and to ensure integration of gender
Otheracross the project. Plan provides ongoing support to the expansion
Otherand strengthening of CHPS, as well as technical assistance for
Othergender mainstreaming. In the area of CHPS, mandates include promoting
Othercommunity ownership and accountability for planning; supporting
Otherthe implementation and monitoring of the CHPS minimum package
Otherof services; facilitating community-led models for quality improvement
Otherof primary health care services; and designing and supporting
Otherinterventions at the community level to increase demand and appropriate
Otherhealth-seeking behaviors for maternal and newborn child health
Other(MNCH), family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH), malaria,
Otherand water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).
Other3. DISASTER & CONFLICT
OtherPlan's goal: Children and youth grow up in resilient communities
Otherand realize their rights in safety and with dignity, before,
Otherduring, and after disasters and conflicts.
OtherIn times of disaster, children are particularly vulnerable.
OtherSeparation from families and friends causes uncertainty, anxiety,
Otherand shock, with a significant impact on children's emotional
Otherwell-being. Our initial disaster response work focuses on
Otherchildren's urgent needs, such as shelter, food, and water.
OtherThese are prioritized along with child protection and education to help
Otherre-establish a sense of security and normalcy. An important
Otherpart of our response involves developing child-friendly spaces
Otherthat help protect children from harm and exploitation, and
Otheraid emotional healing.
OtherOur goal is to support children and youth, their communities,
Otherand their societies to develop resilience enabling them to
Otherbetter absorb external shocks and continue forward with their
Otherpersonal and community development. Toward that end, we
Otheralso seek to address the social inequities and governance
Otherchallenges that marginalize segments of the population and
Otherprevent them from developing resilience.
OtherPlan International USA's expenditures on disasters in FY17 totaled
Otherapproximately $5,311,386; $4,920,199 was transferred to PII. Examples
Otherof Plan's FY17 projects in this area include: Strengthening
OtherCommunity-based Disaster Risk Reduction in Eastern Visayas;
OtherSupporting the Tracing and Reunification of Unaccompanied
Otherand Separated Children, Including Children Formerly Associated
Otherwith Armed Forces and Armed Groups, in the Central African
OtherRepublic; and Provision of Integrated Protection and Education
OtherServices to South Sudanese Refugee Girls, Boys, and Women
Otherand Host Communities in Ethiopia.
OtherStrengthening Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction in Eastern
OtherVisayas
OtherStrengthening Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction in Eastern
OtherVisayas was an 18-month, $1 million USAID/OFDA-funded project
Otherto strengthen the community-based disaster risk reduction capability
Otherof 40 vulnerable barangays in Typhoon Haiyan-impacted municipalities
Otherof Tacloban, Basey, Giporlos, and Guiuan. The project focused
Otheron covering gaps and enhancing disaster risk reduction and management
Other(DRRM) capacities of local government units at the barangay level.
OtherThe project also enhanced the resilience of local barangay populations
Otherthrough community-based DRRM interventions and incorporation of a
Otherchild-centered DRR approach, enabling children and youth to raise
Othertheir issues and concerns in the local government development
Othercouncils. Overall, the project directly benefited a total of 171,673
Otherindividuals from 40 barangays, including 3,871 individuals (2,090
Otherfemales and 1,781 males) trained in disaster preparedness, mitigation,
Otherand management. Further, through the project, more than 80 percent
Otherof barangay residents were trained in the recognition/ identification
Otherof early warning signals and the site of local evacuation centers.
OtherSupporting the Tracing and Reunification of Unaccompanied and
OtherSeparated Children, Including Children Formerly Associated with
OtherArmed Forces and Armed Groups, in the Central African Republic (CAR).
OtherThis 18-month $1.19 million USAID-funded project (including a
Othersix-month extension, with $342,555 of additional funding) supported
Otherthe identification, documentation, interim care, tracing, reunification,
Otherand reintegration of unaccompanied and separated children (UASC),
Otherincluding Children Formerly Associated with Armed Forces and Armed
OtherGroups (former CAAFAG), in the Prefectures of Lobaye and Ouham.
OtherIn total, 183 UASC and CAAFAG (128 girls) were reunited with their
Otherfamilies in the target prefectures. These same children also benefited
Otherfrom gaining birth registration, which is key to ensuring that
Otherchildren's basic rights are not violated and mitigating the risk
Otherof abuse, exploitation, or recruitment into armed forces. In its
Otherextension phase, the project provided a three-month intensive
Othervocational training course in four trade areas to 100 youth being
Otherreunited under the project. This training, combined with life
Otherskills and literacy classes, supported sustainable reintegration
Otherof UASC, including CAAFAG. Through this process, the project provided
Otherlife-saving assistance to these young people, helping break the
Othercycle of violence in CAR by giving them a clear vision and realistic
Otheropportunity for productive economic futures. A total of 343 host
Otherfamilies and reunited families benefited from food and non-food
Otheritem support. In order to make sure that youth caring for younger
Otherchildren were able to take part in these activities, an Early
OtherChildhood Care and Development (ECCD) room was established in
Otherthe venue of the vocational training and life skills and literacy
Otherclasses.
OtherProvision of Integrated Protection and Education Services to South
OtherSudanese Girls, Boys, and Women and Host Communities in Ethiopia
OtherThis 14-month, $800,000 State Department-funded award improved
Otheraccess of the South Sudanese refugee population and host communities
Otherin Gambella to quality education and child protection services.
OtherThe program responded to enormous needs, ranging from basic requirements
Otherof education to the more all-encompassing issue of child protection,
Otheramong children and youth in the targeted populations. In Child
OtherProtection, the project reached 17,500 children and adults, including
OtherUASC, through case management (referral, tracing, family reunification,
Otherand long-term alternative care arrangement), psychosocial support,
Otherchild-friendly activities, and non-food item distribution. Adults
Otherare directly benefiting from the project and are actively involved
Otherin project implementation, acting as social workers, foster parents,
Othercommunity-based child protection committee members, and through
Othertrainings and community awareness and learning sessions. Project
Otheraccomplishments in Child Protection include the following:
Other- A total of 8,941 children accessing Child-Friendly Spaces (127% of the target);
Other- 5,472 UASC placed in long-term alternative care supported by individual case management;
Other-603 UASC referred to the International Committee of the Red Cross for family reunification (including 73 cross-border cases);
Other- 2,262 unaccompanied children supported with non-food items and referral for care arrangements;
Other- 2,538 UASC and other vulnerable children received psychosocial support.
OtherIn Education, the project provided access, improved teaching,
Otherand the necessary educational materials to ECCD centers and primary
Otherschools. Those activities targeted children from 0 to 14 years,
Otheras well as adults (ECCD facilitators, teachers, parents' association
Othermembers, school mothers, and beneficiaries of awareness-raising
Othersessions). In total, 10,500 students from Grades 1-4 and 4,644
Otherpreschool-aged children accessed schooling through the project.
OtherIn light of the project's success, the State Department Bureau
Otherof Population, Refugees, and Migration awarded Plan a July 2017
Otherfollow-on project to address the continuing need for education
Otherand child protection among refugee and host community populations
Otherin Gambella.
Other4. PROTECTION
OtherPlan's goal: Providing a safe place for children to live and grow
Otherto their full potential.
OtherPlan works to ensure that all children are safe and protected
Otherfrom abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence. Plan recognizes
Otherthat protection needs and challenges may vary according to a child's
Othergender, and appropriately focuses its efforts and investments
Otherto address such differences. We provide services designed to prevent
Otherabuse, neglect, and exploitation of children and to help victims
Otherrecover. We campaign for and promote adequate legal protection
Otherat all levels, as well as advocate for strong support within families
Otherand communities. In addition, we raise public awareness of, and
Otherrespect for, the right of all children to protection, and we help
Otheryoung people access the skills and knowledge that will enable
Otherthem to protect themselves.
OtherExpenditures from Plan International USA in this area totaled
Otherapproximately $6,612,561 for FY17, $5,382,117 of which was transferred
Otherto PII. Examples of Plan's FY17 projects in this area include:
OtherAddressing Basic Human Rights in Senegal; Bangladesh Protecting
OtherHuman Rights; and Rwanda Improved Services for Vulnerable Populations.
OtherAddressing Basic Human Rights in Senegal (ABRIS)
OtherCompleted in March 2017, the $750,000 ABRIS project was funded
Otherby the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat
OtherTrafficking in Persons. ABRIS sought to address trafficking and
Otherexploitation of children in Senegal, particularly those attending
Otherprivate religious institutions. While many schools offer genuine
Otherreligious instruction, some are physically and sexually abusive
Otherand highly exploitative, forcing young children to beg for food
Otherand money. Plan and its partners conducted a comprehensive study
Otherof the underlying factors and the various types of trafficked
Otherchildren and built the capacity of law enforcement, legal, and
Otherhealth system personnel to identify and refer trafficked children.
OtherIn addition, Plan and its partners implemented a community campaign
Otherto raise awareness of child trafficking through forced begging,
Otherits causes and effects, and the proper identification and referral
Otherof child victims. While the project received positive results
Otheracross project objectives and enhanced public awareness dramatically,
Otherthere is more work to be done in regard to referral system awareness,
Otherpolice and government personnel training, and advocacy for the
Otherenforcement of existing legislation fighting child trafficking.
OtherBangladesh Protecting Human Rights (PHR)
OtherCompleted in March 2017, the PHR program was a $12.7 million
OtherUSAID-funded project that used a comprehensive set of interventions
Otherto combat domestic violence, child marriage, and other human
Otherrights abuses, all highly prevalent in many parts of Bangladesh.
OtherPlan's response comprised five interconnected components:
Otheradvocating for stronger legislation and enforcement of laws
Otherto reduce domestic violence; building the capacity of duty-bearers-
Otherincluding law enforcement, the judicial system, civil society
Otherorganizations, and the media-to better understand the laws,
Othersupport survivors, and share their stories; increasing access
Otherto justice and helping survivors make informed choices by
Otherproviding pro-bono legal support and information, including
Otherthrough "doorstep" legal counseling; strengthening direct
Otherservices to survivors, including medical, shelter, and livelihood
Othersupport; and public awareness campaigns to inform people of
Otherdomestic violence laws and shift attitudes towards harmful
Otherpractices. Working closely with the Bangladesh National Woman
OtherLawyers' Association (BNWLA), and 11 local NGOs, PHR saw major
Othersuccess. During the life of the project, the government signed
Otherinto law the Rules of Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection
OtherAct) of 2013 and the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 2017.
OtherA trained cadre of social workers together with community-based
OtherSocial Protection Groups have resulted in community ownership
Otheras they look to both decrease incidences of domestic violence
Otheras well as help survivors. Through the training of teachers
Otherand students as well as working in partnership with a range
Otherof stakeholders, PHR has supported local government to create
Otherchild marriage- free zones.
OtherRwanda Improved Services for Vulnerable Populations/Twiyubake
OtherPlan is a member of a consortium led by Global Communities
Otherto implement the Improved Services for Vulnerable Populations
Other(ISVP) program, a USAID-funded project that aims to assist the
Othermembers of 50,000 vulnerable households in 12 districts of
OtherRwanda to build their self-reliance in ways that promote mutual
Othersupport. The program capitalizes upon USAID support to the
OtherGovernment of Rwanda and civil society partners to facilitate
Otherthese vulnerable populations' access to health and social services
Otherthat enable them to live productive lives.
OtherThe program uses a family-centered approach to strengthen
Otherthe knowledge, skills, and capacities of parents and guardians
Otheras the main providers for children. With a goal of increasing
Otherresilience, the program focuses on three key areas within
Othereach household: economic strengthening; improving care practices;
Otherand expanding safety nets. Program objectives include reducing
Otherthe risk and impact of HIV/AIDS and other health conditions
Otheron the most vulnerable populations in Rwanda and increasing
Otherthe capacity of families and communities to provide better
Othercare for vulnerable individuals. Twiyubake supports access
Otherto education for vulnerable people as a core element for improving
Otherthe protection of vulnerable populations against adverse circumstances
Otherover the long term.
OtherGender integration cuts across Twiyubake program interventions.
OtherGender work focuses on: 1) reducing gender disparities in access
Otherto, control over, and benefit from resources, wealth, opportunities,
Otherand services; 2) reducing gender-based violence and mitigating
Otherits harmful effects on individuals and communities; and 3)
Otherincreasing the capability of women and girls to realize their
Otherrights, determine their life outcomes, and influence decision-making
Otherin households, communities, and society, in order to ensure
Otherequal participation, access to USAID/Twiyubake services, and
Otherbenefits for all household members. In 2017, nearly 2.5 years
Otherinto program implementation, Plan International USA supported
OtherGlobal Communities to successfully launch an ambitious gender
Othermainstreaming effort that will significantly expand and enrich
Otherthe gender work already underway.
Other5. WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE
OtherPlan's goal: Children and youth will realize their right to
Othersafe, reliable, and affordable drinking water supplies; hygienic
Othersanitation; and a clean environment.
OtherPlan's water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs are
Otherreaching a growing number of people, by supporting a range
Otherof interventions that improve access to and use of improved
Othersanitation, as well as enhance adoption of hygienic behavior
Otherto reduce preventable diseases. Plan is among the leading
Otherproponents of community-led total sanitation (CLTS) in Asia
Otherand Africa. The CLTS approach involves encouraging community
Othermembers-children and adults to take the lead in improving
Otherthe entire community's sanitation and hygiene.
OtherPlan trains and supports the community to improve water supply
Othersite management; construct household latrines; and reinforce
Otherbehaviors such as hand washing with soap and household water
Othertreatment. We work alongside government, communities, and
Otherlocal groups to scale up services and ensure that the impact
Otherof our interventions are sustained after Plan's programming
Otherends.
OtherPlan International USA expended approximately $3,445,288 on
Otherwater, sanitation, and hygiene in FY17, $2,682,871 of which
Otherwas transferred to PII. Examples of Plan's FY17 projects in

OtherB. BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
OtherAs part of our mission, we promote learning and understanding
Otheramong people of different countries and cultures. Our child
Othersponsorship program-through which a sponsor in the U.S. is
Otherlinked with a child in need-encourages children and sponsors
Otherto exchange letters, cards, and photos as a way to better understand
Othereach other's cultures. Through our website and sponsor communications,
Otherwe frequently urge sponsors to send email communications or
Otherletters to their sponsored children. These cross-cultural exchanges
Otherprovide the foundation for the sponsor/child relationship.
OtherPlan also provides various program communications to sponsors
Otherthroughout the year. Sponsors are introduced to their children
Otherthrough the initial materials in their Sponsorship Guide. The
Other"Sponsored Child Introduction" provides information on the
Otherchild and his or her family, along with two photographs. This
Otherbackground information is accompanied by an "Area Overview"
Otherthat provides information relevant to activities, programs,
Otherand projects in the sponsored child's program area and country.
OtherOur annual "Sponsored Child Update" also details activities,
Otherprograms and projects within a child's program area and country.
OtherThis update is accompanied by new photographs of the sponsored
Otherchild and his or her family members.
OtherBuilding relationships is a reciprocal process, and we frequently
Otherencourage two-way communications. We contact all new sponsors
Otherto welcome them to Plan and encourage them to write to their
Othersponsored child. To support sponsors in writing to their sponsored
Otherchildren consistently, we provide turn-around stationery several
Othertimes throughout the year. In addition, we remind sponsors
Otherof their children's upcoming birthdays and encourage them to
Othersend birthday greetings.
OtherThe cost of $968,839 associated with these cross-cultural exchanges
Otheris known as "Building Relationships." During the year ending
OtherJune 30, 2017, there were more than 121,502 instances of communications
Otherbetween sponsors, sponsored children and families, and the
Otherchild's local Plan office. These communications are processed
Otherthrough a centralized communications and mail area at the Plan
OtherInternational USA office in Warwick, RI.
OtherC. DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY
OtherTo further our mission, Plan International USA conducts educational
Otheroutreach programs in the U.S. with youth, educators, donors,
Othersponsors, and the public about issues affecting children and
Otherfamilies in the developing world. Development Education programs
Otherenhance the public's understanding of the causes and conditions
Otherof poverty in developing countries and the role that Plan has
Otherin addressing children's vulnerabilities and breaking the cycle of
Otherpoverty. Development Education is one of the key tools Plan uses
Otherto strengthen relationships with and between individual children,
Otheradults, groups, organizations, and institutions. We provide messages
Otherto the public through country and practice area technical briefs,
Otherwebsite updates, monthly e-newsletters, and social media posts,
Otheramong other materials. Youth group activities and speaking engagements
Otherby staff also play a key role in the delivery of Plan's messages.
OtherThe Youth Engagement and Action (YEA) team at Plan International
OtherUSA works directly with students and teachers in an effort to
Otherincrease awareness of the challenges and barriers that children
Otherand youth face in the developing world. The Youth Advisory Board
Other(YAB) is another body of young people from around the U.S. striving
Otherto vocalize the needs of youth by serving as ambassadors to and
Otherfor Plan International USA. The YAB creates and nurtures a network
Otherbetween Plan's international youth and organizational decision-makers
Otherin order to reinforce Plan's mission of empowering children across
Otherthe world. Its role ranges from participating in discussions with
Otherthe Board of Directors to collaborating with other Plan Federation
Othermembers' youth advisory groups, and growing a network of youth
Otheracross the U.S. dedicated to supporting the work of Plan.
OtherAdditionally, Plan International USA facilitates engagement through
Othermemberships and advocacy efforts that reinforce our communications
Otheraround poverty and community development. Plan International USA
Otheris an active partner and/or member of groups and coalitions that
Othersupport these issues, such as the Sanitation and Water for All
OtherPartnership (SWA), Alliance for International Youth Development,
OtherModernizing Foreign Assistance Network (MFAN), Society for International
OtherDevelopment (SID), U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC), and
OtherInterAction. Plan International USA is also a founding member,
Otherchair, and coordinator of the Orphans and Vulnerable Children
OtherTask Force.
OtherOther important elements of Plan's outreach are the partnerships
Otherwe develop to increase awareness about challenges in the developing
Otherworld. Plan and Nickelodeon International's "Together For Good"
Otheris a global initiative to empower kids to make positive changes
Otherin the world around them. "Together For Good" serves as Nickelodeon's
Otherinternational platform to inspire its audiences to get involved
Otherin their communities, provide the resources and education to get
Otherthe job done, and celebrate the impact they're making every day.
OtherPlan is Nickelodeon's inaugural partner for this initiative. As
Otherpart of Nickelodeon's international "Together For Good" initiative,
OtherPlan teamed up with Nickelodeon to launch Together We Rock, a pro-social
Othercampaign dedicated to promoting gender equity. Nickelodeon created
Otheran international game to inspire concepts of gender equity, which
Otherinvited players to join Tomika, the main character in the hit
Othershow School of Rock, to lead a group of student musicians on the
Otherway to greatness. The network also aired an international School
Otherof Rock programming marathon during the month of May across more
Otherthan 170 countries and territories internationally, showcasing
Otherepisodes from the series that highlight female role models,
Otherequity-themed moments, and self-confidence. The campaign was a huge
Othersuccess and leveraged over $5.6m of media outreach across multiple
OtherNickelodeon platforms.
OtherPlan also has an ongoing partnership with Glamour magazine, which
Otherannounced its newest charitable initiative in 2014: The Girl Project.
OtherThe Girl Project was conceptualized and started in part because
Otherof recent world events highlighting the dangers girls face going
Otherto and staying in school. Along with three other non-profit partners,
OtherPlan is benefiting from money raised from the print campaign and
Otherbroader outreach, including advocacy and awareness-raising events
Otherfeaturing former First Lady Michelle Obama and other notable influencers
Otherand activists. Plan youth ambassadors from Vietnam, the Philippines,
Otherand El Salvador have spoken at high-level events promoting international
Othersupport for girls' education.
OtherA different type of partnership-celebrity engagement-has been
Otherextremely helpful in leveraging our brand and raising awareness.
OtherCelebrities are able to lend their voices to Plan International
OtherUSA's causes and amplify our messages to various audiences, particularly
Otherthrough print, on-air, and social media channels. Through donor
Othercommunications, sponsor meetings, website publications, and public
Othergatherings, Plan International USA will continue to reach out
Otherto the public and invite them to engage with us and make a lasting
Otherdifference for children around the world. We have found that once
Otherpeople understand these issues, they are willing to take action.
OtherOur task is to help bring these issues to light.
OtherRegular meetings between CEOs and senior staff of organizations
Otherwith similar missions help to give all of us a stronger voice.
OtherFor the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the total Development
OtherEducation and Advocacy expenses were $1,239,009. During FY17,
OtherPlan International USA initiated more than 1,500,000 mailed or
