Line 2b col(v)	undertaken primarily to generate monthly-giving donors as opposed
Line 2b col(v)	to soliciting one-time gifts. Although the gross receipts do include
Line 2b col(v)	some one-time gifts, the focus of the fundraising efforts is on
Line 2b col(v)	child and project sponsors who enroll in a long-term voluntary
Line 2b col(v)	giving program. As a result, it is not unusual to have relatively small
Line 2b col(v)	amounts of revenue within the same fiscal year as the campaigns are
Line 2b col(v)	conducted. Instead, the intention is to recover the costs over a longer
Line 2b col(v)	period of time during which the retained donors make continuing contributions.

Pt I Line 2	2. Plan International USA has regular access to the financial reporting
Pt I Line 2	which allows for the monitoring of programs on a budget vs. actual basis as
Pt I Line 2	well as providing some detail on the types of spending that are conducted in
Pt I Line 2	the field so that the monitoring of the scope of work can be done.
Pt I Line 2	.
Pt I Line 2	3. Plan International USA can review the results of the work conducted by PII's

Pt I Line 2	procedures and controls that are in place at the program locations.
Pt I Line 2	.

Pt I Line 2	which provides for effective and timely oversight of the use of funding
Pt I Line 2	provided by Plan International USA to PII.
Pt I Line 2	.
Pt I Line 2	Plan 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 2	.
Pt I Line 2	Plan USA's subgrant to Danya International, Inc. related to a project being conducted in Kenya. Plan USA monitored the activities of Danya both in the field-country and remotely. In Kenya, Danya's full-time project staff were fully integrated into the project team in the project's Nairobi office. Reporting lines were structured under the Chief of Party ("CoP"). At start-up, Plan USA staff on temporary duty in Kenya provided direct guidance to Danya's technical team; the CoP assumed this role from November, 2015. In this way, activities were incorporated into the Year 1 workplan and carried out under Plan's direct guidance. Monthly financial reports were also submitted to Plan USA. Due to the short time that Danya operated in Kenya during this project, other reporting did not apply, but activities were captured in the project's overall performance reports.
Pt I Line 2	Plan USA's subgrant to The Population Council, Inc. was performed over a relatively short period of time. Plan USA monitored the activities of The Population Council by working closely with them on the research team, requiring progress reports throughout the term of the agreement and through a final financial report at the completion of the activity.

Pt VI, Line 11b	The Form 990 is provided electronically to each member of the
Pt VI, Line 11b	Plan International USA Audit Committee. The Audit Committee
Pt VI, Line 11b	then meets with Plan International USA's CEO and CFO to review the
Pt VI, Line 11b	Form 990 in detail. Once the 990 has been approved by the Audit
Pt VI, Line 11b	Committee, it is sent electronically to the full Board of
Pt VI, Line 11b	Directors for review and comment. Once the comment period is over,
Pt VI, Line 11b	either the Board approves or delegates the authority to the
Pt VI, Line 11b	Executive Committee of the Board to approve the Form 990.
Pt VI, Line 11b	Once approved, it is filed with the IRS and posted to the
Pt VI, Line 11b	Organization's website for public disclosure.
Pt VI, Line 11b	.
Pt VI, Line 12c	On an annual basis, the officers, directors and all employees
Pt VI, Line 12c	receive a copy of and review Plan International USA's Conflict
Pt VI, Line 12c	of Interest disclosure questionnaire. Each of them signs that
Pt VI, Line 12c	questionnaire where they must disclose any actual or
Pt VI, Line 12c	potential conflicts of interest. All questionnaires with any
Pt VI, Line 12c	actual or potential conflicts are then reviewed by either the
Pt VI, Line 12c	Chair of the Audit Committee, Board Chair, V.P. of Human Resources
Pt VI, Line 12c	or the Ethics & Compliance Officer depending on the position
Pt VI, Line 12c	of the person whose questionnaire has a disclosure.
Pt VI, Line 12c	Appropriate action is taken as needed. During the year, if
Pt VI, Line 12c	potential conflicts arise, they must be disclosed promptly and
Pt VI, Line 12c	in writing to the appropriate person (as noted above).
Pt VI, Line 12c	If there are any potential conflicts of interest relating
Pt VI, Line 12c	to a particular vote that the Board is taking, the
Pt VI, Line 12c	Board member(s) must declare the potential conflict and
Pt VI, Line 12c	abstain from voting. This is then recorded in the minutes
Pt VI, Line 12c	of the Board meeting.
Pt VI, Line 12c	.
Pt VI, Line 15a	Every year (typically in late summer), the Talent Management
Pt VI, Line 15a	Committee of the Board ("TMC") leads the annual CEO performance
Pt VI, Line 15a	review process. The TMC requests and reviews a CEO evaluation
Pt VI, Line 15a	feedback form that is received from each Board member and
Pt VI, Line 15a	can also include feedback from members of the Executive Team.
Pt VI, Line 15a	Based on that feedback, the TMC prepares the performance
Pt VI, Line 15a	review for Board approval. The discussion with the CEO is
Pt VI, Line 15a	conducted by the Board Chair and the Chair of the TMC. Based
Pt VI, Line 15a	on the CEO's performance against objectives and a comparison
Pt VI, Line 15a	to external market factors for CEO's in similar locations
Pt VI, Line 15a	and of similar sized organizations, an increase (if applicable
Pt VI, Line 15a	based on the aforementioned factors) is recommended by the TMC
Pt VI, Line 15a	and brought to the Board for approval typically around the time
Pt VI, Line 15a	of the September Board meeting. The TMC retains documentation
Pt VI, Line 15a	with respect to the process, deliberations, external data and

Other	Plan's field programs are focused on the following six core
Other	areas described below:
Other	.
Other	1. EDUCATION
Other	.
Other	Plan's goal: Children and youth will realize their right
Other	to quality education.
Other	Education is one of the most powerful tools available to
Other	ensure children are able to fulfill their potential. Every
Other	child has the right to education, but many are excluded
Other	because of poverty, gender, disability, geographical remoteness,
Other	or language or cultural barriers.
Other	We work to promote free, equal access to quality education
Other	for all children. We promote child-friendly learning environments;
Other	develop teaching skills and teaching materials; provide training to
Other	government staff; and help communities become more involved
Other	in how schools are run.
Other	.
Other	We work with national and local governments to help improve
Other	the laws and public policy on education, and we take part
Other	in local, national, and international campaigns to support
Other	quality education for all.
Other	In fiscal year 2016, Plan International USA's expenditures
Other	in education totaled approximately $6,032,521, with $4,486,914
Other	transferred to PII for our overseas programs. Examples of
Other	Plan's FY16 projects in this area include: Community-Led
Other	Action For Children; Nepal Early Grade Reading Program; Niger
Other	Education and Community Strengthening(NECS); Tusome Pamoja;
Other	Zambia Read To Succeed; and Room to Learn South Sudan.
Other	.
Other	COMMUNITY-LED ACTION FOR CHILDREN
Other	This $2.3 million project, funded by the Conrad N. Hilton
Other	Foundation, is the second phase of the Community-Led Action
Other	for Children project that is reaching children in communities
Other	affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Kenya and Mozambique.
Other	This three-year effort aims to provide pre-school-aged children
Other	with a healthy and strong start in life through an array
Other	of interventions. These encompass parenting education, including
Other	a focus on male caregiver engagement; establishment of early
Other	learning centers; transitioning to primary school; strengthening
Other	community referral systems; and policy advocacy and partnerships
Other	to put in place strengthened national and sub-national Early
Other	Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) policies, using a strong
Other	evidence base.
Other	.
Other	NEPAL EARLY GRADE READING PROGRAM
Other	This $2.8 million, USAID-funded Early Grade Reading Program (EGRP)
Other	is implemented by a consortium led by Research Triangle International
Other	(RTI). It aims to provide reading instruction in grades
Other	1-3 and to enhance community engagement in education and
Other	school planning. Plan leads the third component of the project.
Other	This component focuses on providing guidance and support to parents,
Other	community organizations, and Nepali non-governmental organizations
Other	(NGOs) to promote reading practice at home and in the community.
Other	Plan has worked at the national level on drafting a Social
Other	and Community Mobilization Strategy in partnership with the
Other	Ministry of Education (MOE) in collaboration with other
Other	organizations working in the EGR sector. Plan is also developing
Other	tools for community mobilization and overseeing small grants
Other	to NGOs and community-based organizations (CBOs) working with
Other	Parent Teacher Associations and School Management Committees.
Other	NIGER EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY STRENGTHENING (NECS)
Other	NECS is a $7.6 million, USAID-funded project focused on improving
Other	educational opportunities for children while strengthening
Other	links between schools and community and state structures. NECS
Other	uses a comprehensive approach to improve educational opportunities
Other	available to children, while strengthening links between local
Other	communities and state structures. On June 30, 2016, a two-year
Other	extension for an additional $3,982,451 was finalized with USAID.
Other	The extension will focus on the early grade [grades 1 (CI)
Other	and 2 (CP)] reading work as well as strengthen progress made
Other	in the area of social mobilization. NECS is implemented by
Other	Plan International Niger (prime) and Aide et Action International.
Other	NECS facilitates students' access and retention in the learning
Other	environment through mentorship programs and social community
Other	mobilization support. The project also focuses on improving
Other	the quality of education through improved reading instruction
Other	in four local languages. The NECS project covers 150 villages/
Other	schools in seven regions of Niger.
Other	TUSOME PAMOJA
Other	The Tusome Pamoja project in Tanzania is a five year education
Other	initiative implemented by Research Triangle International
Other	(RTI) as the prime contractor, working in collaboration with
Other	Plan International (sub-contract based on expenditures not
Other	to exceed $6,579,949). Tusome Pamoja is focused on supporting
Other	improvements to reading, writing, and arithmetic learning
Other	(3Rs) on a national scale, working with the Ministry of Education
Other	and Vocational Training in the Tanzanian Mainland and the

Other	in education. To achieve the project goals, Tusome Pamoja will
Other	focus on supporting parents and community members to increase
Other	their engagement in the 3Rs and further community and civil
Other	society oversight of instruction. Tusome Pamoja will engage
Other	parents and the community in early grade learning efforts in
Other	a strategic manner through training, mobilization activities,
Other	advocacy, and specifically designed social and behavioral change
Other	communication (SBCC) interventions.

Other	ZAMBIA READ TO SUCCEED
Other	The Read to Succeed project is funded by USAID to increase
Other	learning in reading, math, and English in 1,300 government
Other	basic schools in six provinces in Zambia. Plan International
Other	is an implementing partner of the project under Creative
Other	Associates. Read to Succeed (RTS) is carried out in partnership
Other	with the Zambian Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational
Other	Training, and Early Education, and the project aims to improve
Other	the effectiveness of schools so that students can acquire
Other	essential academic and life skills. Taking a "whole school,
Other	whole teacher, whole child" approach, the project views schools
Other	as centers of learning, care, and support. Read to Succeed
Other	addresses five key elements that influence school effectiveness:
Other	learning, teaching, management, parental/community participation,
Other	and responsiveness to children's needs. Plan supports the
Other	RTS work focused on strengthening School Community Partnerships
Other	(SCP). These partnerships support school effectiveness and
Other	student performance using a participatory approach to involve
Other	the school and community in order to improve the performance
Other	and retention of learners in schools, especially girls and
Other	orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs). They help to strengthen
Other	alliances between the school and community to effectively
Other	support teaching and learning, both in and out of school.
Other	The SCP model thrives on a genuinely reciprocal relationship
Other	between schools and communities that integrates activities
Other	including Education Leadership Management (ELM), Learner
Other	Performance Improvement Plans, and HIV prevention.
Other	ROOM TO LEARN SOUTH SUDAN
Other	Room To Learn South Sudan (RtL) is a $780,000 program funded
Other	by USAID that aims to expand education opportunities that
Other	are inclusive and promote social cohesion. Plan International
Other	is an implementing partner of the project under Winrock International.
Other	Originally a five year project, USAID announced that the project
Other	would close due to shifts in priority at the mission in 2016;
Other	two years earlier than scheduled. Room to Learn aims to implement
Other	activities that offer safe access to quality education for
Other	1 million children and youth, with special focus on increasing
Other	access to the most disadvantaged groups such as out-of-school
Other	children, girls, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in host
Other	communities, pastoralists, returnees, people with special needs,
Other	and other marginalized groups that suffer from lack of education
Other	or poor quality, disrupted, unsafe access to education. The
Other	program components include:
Other	.
Other	1. Improvement and expansion of safer education services
Other	for children and youth;
Other	2. Enhancement of relevancy of education and promotion
Other	of learner well-being; and
Other	3. Improvement of the quality of education system management
Other	through local education authorities.
Other	.
Other	Plan International has been leading the work related to school
Other	community-led emergency preparedness in the Room to Learn
Other	Project to ensure that all children receive a quality education
Other	within a safe learning environment, even in times of emergency
Other	and post-crisis recovery. This includes setting up community
Other	crisis response mechanisms in schools and initiating and expanding
Other	school-based psychosocial support services for the learners
Other	and teachers. Additionally, as an example of partnership and
Other	leveraging of funds from multiple donors, RtL collaborated
Other	with the United Kingdom's Department for International Development
Other	(DFID)-funded Girls' Education South Sudan (GESS) project to
Other	develop a School Governance Handbook. The Handbook was compiled
Other	with both projects' training materials to create one unified
Other	document as the standard tool on school governance in South
Other	Sudan. The School Governance Handbook has been approved by
Other	the Ministry of General Education and Instruction (MoGEI) and
Other	is available for all schools, County and Payam Education Offices,
Other	NGOs, and other education partners, demonstrating an unprecedented
Other	resource guide in the Global South.

Other	2. HEALTH
Other	.
Other	Plan's goal: Providing the tools, training, and resources
Other	for communities to raise healthy children. Children and
Other	youth will realize their right to sexual and reproductive
Other	health, including HIV prevention, care, and treatment.
Other	.
Other	Plan supports a range of programs that reduce newborn and
Other	maternal mortality, increase child survival, and support
Other	the healthy development of children into adulthood. These
Other	interventions include initiatives to prevent and combat specific
Other	avoidable childhood illnesses.
Other	.
Other	We promote good nutrition, early child development, and early
Other	education, providing support for parents and caregivers.
Other	We work with our partners to help mothers, children, and
Other	young people access quality primary health care and social
Other	services. We also support quality, age-appropriate reproductive
Other	and sexual health education and services for children and
Other	young people. We challenge the beliefs and attitudes that
Other	maintain inequality between the sexes. We also advocate for
Other	more effective policies and actions that respect and protect
Other	the rights of children living in a world with HIV. These
Other	include the right to be protected from HIV and, for those
Other	affected, to receive care and support. This work includes
Other	advocating for children orphaned by AIDS to live with family
Other	members. In FY16, Plan International USA's expenditures
Other	for health totaled approximately $12,841,971, $10,889,625

Other	NILINDE: SUPPORT FOR ORPHANS AND VULNERABLE GIRLS AND BOYS IN NAIROBI AND COAST COUNTIES OF KENYA
Other	On this $41,005,731 project, Plan leads a consortium that
Other	also includes Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT)
Other	Childline Kenya and mothers2mothers (m2m). The project, known
Other	locally as "Nilinde," meaning "Protect Me" in Swahili, works
Other	to support at-risk children in Kenya by focusing on improving
Other	the welfare and protection of the most vulnerable households
Other	affected by HIV in Nairobi and Coast Counties. Nilinde works
Other	with local partner organizations to increase household resiliency
Other	and empower parents and caregivers to make investments that
Other	will improve the health and well-being of orphans and vulnerable
Other	children (OVC). Working at both local and national levels,
Other	Nilinde aims to increase access to health and social services
Other	and support government efforts at strengthening child welfare
Other	and protection systems. Nilinde's holistic case management
Other	approach connects health, nutrition, HIV services, psychosocial
Other	support, and education to economic strengthening services
Other	designed to graduate families out of program support by developing
Other	their ability to grow and sustain their assets, income, and
Other	skills. In Nairobi County, the project focuses on informal
Other	settlements where the majority of the OVC reside. In Coast
Other	Counties, the project works in both informal settlements
Other	in urban areas and in rural areas where larger OVC populations
Other	live. Nilinde also works with Kenyan government agencies to
Other	strengthen national monitoring and management information systems (MIS)
Other	for OVC and integrates information and communications technology
Other	(ICT) and social and behavior change communications (SBCC)
Other	across project interventions. At the same time, Nilinde works
Other	with governmental and non-governmental partners to use data for
Other	decision making and to improve quality services to OVC.
Other	.
Other	ONE COMMUNITY
Other	Led by the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs
Other	(CCP), partnering with Project HOPE and Plan International,
Other	the USAID-funded One Community Project (OC) focuses on building
Other	strong HIV competent communities, families, and individuals.
Other	Plan's portion of the grant as a subcontractor is $4,528,075.
Other	The project works in eight districts including Balaka, Machinga,
Other	Phalombe, Mulanje, Chikwawa, Blantyre, Zomba, and Mangochi,
Other	and is based on a socio-ecological model that links the actions
Other	of individual children, adolescents, and adults to the actions
Other	of families and communities, the services available to them,
Other	and the social structures that govern them. OC seeks to enable
Other	community resource persons to deliver core packages of evidence
Other	-based interventions tailored to vulnerable groups such as OVCs
Other	and their families, adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV), adult
Other	people living with HIV (PLHIV), fisher folk, and mobile workers.
Other	The OC team will work closely with MOH and Ministry of Social
Other	Welfare, PEPFAR, and other stakeholders to define priority
Other	vulnerable populations and standard minimum packages of services.
Other	Working in the catchment areas of the PEPFAR priority sites
Other	to complement facility interventions, activities will specifically
Other	focus on community mobilization and engagement of local partners
Other	to reduce incidence of new infections and improve clinical,
Other	social, and economic outcomes among vulnerable groups. Plan's
Other	focus areas are OVCs, Early Childhood Development, and Provision
Other	of services for adolescents living with HIV/AIDS to include
Other	youth economic empowerment. Plan has also been tasked with
Other	DREAMS, PEPFAR's new initiative to reduce new HIV infections
Other	among vulnerable Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) in
Other	ten priority African countries, including Malawi. DREAMS addresses
Other	positive sexual health behaviors, increases access to sexual
Other	and reproductive health services, and creates an enabling environment
Other	for AGYW by supporting caregivers, addressing harmful community
Other	norms and practices, and creating safe spaces for AGYW in schools
Other	and in communities.

Other	USAID DEVELOPMENT INNOVATION VENTURES (DIV) SUPPORTED "PREGNANT
Other	WOMEN'S GROUPS: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO REDUCE MATERNAL AND
Other	NEONATAL DEATHS IN NEPAL"
Other	The USAID Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) supported
Other	"Pregnant Women's Groups: An Integrated Approach to Reduce
Other	Maternal and Neonatal Deaths in Nepal" project is scaling
Other	up Plan's Pregnant Women's Group (PWG) approach to 15 districts
Other	of Nepal from 2014 to 2017. This $1.5 million project builds
Other	upon Plan's previous work under the USAID-supported Local
Other	Innovation for Better Outcomes for Neonates (LIBON) project.
Other	The PWG project, implemented in 12 Terai (plains) and three
Other	hill districts, has a quasi-experimental component and involves
Other	rigorous monitoring and evaluation. The PWG approach brings
Other	together a group of 8-15 pregnant women and their relatives,
Other	who live in the same ward, to give them access to health
Other	information, improve their awareness and utilization of health
Other	services, and empower them and their family members to advocate
Other	with service providers - with the overall goal of contributing
Other	to the reduction in maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality
Other	in Nepal. The PWGs meet monthly and the meetings are facilitated
Other	by trained female community health volunteers (FCHV), who are
Other	part of the Nepal health system. The FCHV educate the pregnant
Other	women on various health and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)
Other	topics such as danger signs during pregnancy, delivery, and
Other	after delivery; birth preparedness; awareness about nutritional
Other	supplements, immunization, and hygiene; and utilization of
Other	health services (antenatal care, institutional delivery, post
Other	natal care, etc.). The positive peer pressure within the group
Other	serves as a driving force for behavior change for healthy practices.
Other	.
Other	SAFE MOTHERHOOD NIGERIA: AMBULANCES AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR MATERNAL HEALTH PROJECT
Other	The $260,000 ambulance project, funded by the MacArthur Foundation
Other	(MAF), has sought to contribute to reducing maternal mortality
Other	in Nigeria-specifically in Alimosho LGA in Lagos State-through
Other	various community-level activities related to strengthening
Other	ambulance systems, improving basic emergency obstetric care
Other	during transport, and fostering community advocacy for maternal
Other	health accountability. Some of the achievements of the project
Other	include consensus building among different stakeholders (state
Other	and local officials, service providers, ward health committees,
Other	community members) that led to the development of a paramedic
Other	training curriculum and a service delivery guideline document.
Other	Plan also built the capacity of ward health committees and
Other	community members to enable them to advocate for services
Other	and resource allocation as well as to hold their officials
Other	and service providers accountable. This grant was a continuation
Other	of the MAF IV project, and aims to sustain community advocacy
Other	and accountability for ambulances and maternal health in
Other	Lagos State.
Other	.
Other	TEKPONON JIKUAGOU (MEANING "DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO
Other	PREVENT MATERNAL MORTALITY"): ADDRESSING UNMET NEED FOR FAMILY
Other	PLANNING THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS
Other	This USAID-funded $1.2 million project aims to develop and
Other	test a scalable package of social network activities to engage
Other	men and women in discussion and reflection about unmet need
Other	for family planning. Under the project, Georgetown University's
Other	Institute for Reproductive Health is the primary implementing
Other	organization, while Plan and CARE provide technical resources
Other	for testing and implementing network-based interventions
Other	that address unmet need for family planning. The package
Other	of activities works with and through influential and connected
Other	network actors who may be more effective in diffusing new ideas
Other	and mobilizing public dialogue than formal leaders or health
Other	workers alone. The intervention aims to increase acceptability
Other	of discussions concerning family size and family planning
Other	use. It also aims to create an enabling environment for family
Other	planning use by increasing the perception that social network
Other	members approve of family planning use. There were two phases
Other	to the project which included a pilot and scale up phase.
Other	The pilot phase was carried out in a total of 90 villages
Other	(45 with Plan, 45 with CARE) for the development and testing
Other	of the intervention package. The second phase focused on
Other	scaling up the intervention package in Couffo. Plan managed
Other	this process via two local NGOs in 44 villages: CRAIB and
Other	DBDIBA. The project's goal is to expand successful social
Other	network interventions to additional communities throughout
Other	Benin, and if possible, West Africa.
Other	.
Other	3. DISASTER & CONFLICT
Other	.
Other	Plan's goal: Children and youth grow up in resilient communities
Other	and realize their rights in safety and with dignity, before,
Other	during, and after disasters and conflicts.
Other	.
Other	In times of disaster, children are particularly vulnerable.
Other	Separation from families and friends causes uncertainty, anxiety,
Other	and shock, with a significant impact on children's emotional
Other	well-being. Our initial disaster response work focuses on
Other	children's urgent needs, such as shelter, food, and water.
Other	We then prioritize child protection and education to help
Other	re-establish a sense of security and normalcy. An important
Other	part of our response involves developing child-friendly spaces
Other	that help protect children from harm and exploitation, and
Other	aid emotional healing.
Other	.
Other	Our goal is to support children and youth, their communities,
Other	and their societies to develop resilience enabling them to
Other	better absorb external shocks and continue forward with their
Other	personal and community development. Toward that end, we
Other	also seek to address the social inequities and governance
Other	challenges that marginalize segments of the population and
Other	prevent them from developing resilience.
Other	.
Other	Plan International USA's expenditures on disasters and conflicts in FY16
Other	totaled approximately $4,575,353; $4,087,266 was transferred
Other	to PII. Examples of Plan's FY16 projects in this area include:

Other	.
Other	ASSISTANCE TO SELF-HELP SHELTER AND SANITATION SOLUTIONS
Other	IN DOLAKHA, NEPAL
Other	This six-month, $1 million, USAID-funded emergency response
Other	project helped meet the shelter and sanitation needs among
Other	residents of 21 heavily-impacted Village Development Committees
Other	(VDCs) of Dolakha district in the Central Development Region
Other	of Nepal. Focusing on the provision of emergency assistance
Other	to households attempting self-help Shelter solutions and
Other	community and household level sanitation support, the project
Other	provided technical and material support, as well as hygiene
Other	promotion activities, to approximately 20,000 individuals
Other	impacted by the devastating April 25, 2015 and May 12, 2015
Other	earthquakes.
Other	.
Other	PROVISION OF INTEGRATED PROTECTION AND EDUCATION SERVICES
Other	TO SOUTH SUDANESE REFUGEE GIRLS, BOYS, AND WOMEN AND HOST
Other	COMMUNITIES IN ETHIOPIA
Other	This 12-month, $800,000, State Department-funded award seeks
Other	to improve access of the Gambella area refugee population
Other	and host communities to quality and essential education as
Other	well as child protection services. The program responds to
Other	enormous needs, ranging from basic requirements of education
Other	to the more all-encompassing issue of child protection, among
Other	children and youths in the South Sudanese refugee population
Other	and the Ethiopian host community populations in Gambella.
Other	In Child Protection, Plan is targeting 17,500 children and
Other	adults, including Unaccompanied and Separated Children, through
Other	case management (referral, tracing, family reunification,
Other	and long-term alternative care arrangement), psychosocial
Other	support, child friendly activities, and Non-Food Item distribution.
Other	Adults are directly benefiting from the project and are actively
Other	involved in project implementation acting as: social workers,
Other	foster parents, community based child protection committee
Other	members, and through trainings and community awareness and
Other	learning sessions. In Education, the project is providing
Other	access, improved teaching and the necessary educational materials
Other	to ECCD centers and primary schools. Those activities target
Other	children from 0 to 14 as well as adults (ECCD facilitators,
Other	teachers, parents association, school mothers, and beneficiaries
Other	of awareness raising sessions). 10,500 students from Grade
Other	1-4 and 5,000 pre-school children are targeted and the project
Other	is indirectly addressing 4,270 household heads (reaching
Other	35% of total households) in back to school campaign, girls'
Other	education community sensitization events, and through house-to
Other	-house community mobilization sessions. In total, the project
Other	will reach a total of 33,000 direct beneficiaries, as well
Other	as almost 39,000 indirect beneficiaries.
Other	SUPPORTING THE TRACING AND REUNIFICATION OF UNACCOMPANIED
Other	AND SEPARATED CHILDREN, INCLUDING CHILDREN FORMERLY ASSOCIATED
Other	WITH ARMED FORCES AND ARMED GROUPS, IN CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC (CAR)
Other	This 18-month $1.19 million, USAID-funded project (including
Other	a 6 month, $342,555 extension) supports the identification,
Other	documentation, interim care, tracing, reunification, and
Other	reintegration of unaccompanied and separated children (UASC),
Other	including Children Formerly Associated with Armed Forces
Other	and Armed Groups (former CAAFAG), in the Prefectures of Lobaye
Other	and Ouham. 250 UASC and former CAAFAG (128 girls) are benefiting
Other	from support toward reunification and reintegration with
Other	their families in the target prefectures. These same children
Other	are also benefiting from gaining birth registration, which
Other	is key to ensuring that children's basic rights are not violated
Other	and to mitigate the risk of abuse, exploitation, or recruitment
Other	into armed forces. Through this process, the project is providing
Other	life-saving assistance to these victimized young people,
Other	helping break the cycle of violence in CAR. In its extension
Other	phase, the project will support the youth being reunited under
Other	the current project with vocational training, life skills,
Other	and literacy classes in order to reintegrate them in a sustainable
Other	way and help avoid recruitment into armed groups or early marriage.
Other	100 UASC (35 girls), including former CAAFAG, will benefit from
Other	support toward reunification and reintegration with their host
Other	families in the target prefecture Lobaye. Through this process,
Other	the project will provide life-saving assistance to these victimized
Other	young people, helping break the cycle of violence in CAR by
Other	giving them a clear vision and realistic opportunity for productive
Other	economic futures. Further, the 100 host families caring for
Other	target UASC and former CAAFAG will receive training and support.
Other	In order to make sure that youth caring for younger children
Other	can take part in these activities, an Early Childhood Care
Other	and Development (ECCD) room will be established in the venue
Other	of the vocational training and life skills and literacy.
Other	4. PROTECTION
Other	Plan's goal: Providing a safe place for children to live and
Other	grow to their full potential.
Other	.
Other	Plan works to ensure that all children are safe and protected
Other	from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence. We provide
Other	services designed to prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation
Other	of children and to help victims recover. We campaign for and
Other	promote adequate legal protection at all levels, as well as
Other	advocate for strong support within families and communities.
Other	In addition, we raise public awareness of, and respect for,
Other	the right of all children to protection, and we help young
Other	people access the skills and knowledge that will enable them
Other	to protect themselves.
Other	.
Other	Expenditures from Plan International USA in this area totaled
Other	approximately $6,908,808 for FY16, $6,258,026 of which was
Other	transferred to PII. Examples of Plan's FY16 projects in this
Other	area include: Addressing Basic Human Rights in Senegal; Protecting
Other	Human Rights; and Improved Services for Vulnerable Populations.
Other	.
Other	ADDRESSING BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS IN SENEGAL (ABRIS)
Other	This $750,000 project funded by the U.S. Department of State
Other	Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, ABRIS
Other	addresses trafficking and exploitation of children of Senegal,
Other	particularly those attending private religious schools. While
Other	many schools offer genuine religious instruction, some are
Other	physically and sexually abusive and highly exploitative, forcing
Other	young children to beg for food and money. Plan and its partners
Other	conducted a comprehensive study of the underlying factors and
Other	the various types of trafficked children and built the capacity
Other	of law enforcement, legal, and health system personnel to identify
Other	trafficked children. In addition, a referral system was developed
Other	to provide the services needed.
Other	.
Other	In September 2016 the ABRIS project received a six-month no-cost
Other	extension from the U.S. Department of State to continue programming
Other	through March 2017 in order to continue the training of national
Other	police forces, and legal personnel, instituting community awareness
Other	campaigns via radio broadcasting, and implementing community-led
Other	action plans to combat forced begging.
Other	.
Other	PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS
Other	PHR is a $12.7 million USAID-funded project that uses a comprehensive
Other	set of interventions to combat domestic violence, child marriage,
Other	and other human rights abuses. This is highly prevalent in
Other	many parts of Bangladesh. Plan's response comprises five interconnected
Other	components: advocating for stronger legislation and enforcement
Other	of laws to reduce domestic violence; building the capacity
Other	of duty-bearers-including law enforcement, the judicial system,
Other	civil society organizations, and the media-to better understand
Other	the laws, support survivors, and share their stories; increasing
Other	access to justice and helping survivors make informed choices
Other	by providing pro-bono legal support and information, including
Other	through "doorstep" legal counseling; strengthening direct services
Other	to survivors, including medical, shelter, and livelihood support;
Other	and public awareness campaigns to inform people of domestic
Other	violence laws and shift attitudes towards harmful practices.
Other	Working closely with the Bangladesh National Woman Lawyers'
Other	Association (BNWLA), and 11 local NGOs, PHR has seen major
Other	success. During the life of the project, the government signed
Other	into law the Rules of Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection
Other	Act). A trained cadre of social workers together with community-based
Other	Social Protection Groups have resulted in community ownership
Other	as they look to both decrease incidences of domestic violence
Other	as well as help survivors. Through the training of teachers
Other	and students as well as working in partnership with a range
Other	of stakeholders, PHR has supported local government to create
Other	child marriage free zones. In the three years of the project,
Other	it has resulted in a decrease in child marriage in a number
Other	of the project areas.
Other	.
Other	IMPROVED SERVICES FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS
Other	Plan is a member of a consortium led by Global Communities
Other	to implement the Improved Services for Vulnerable Populations
Other	(ISVP) program, a USAID-funded project that aims to assist the
Other	members of 50,000 vulnerable households in 12 districts of
Other	Rwanda to build their self-reliance in ways that promote mutual
Other	support. The program capitalizes upon USAID support to the
Other	Government of Rwanda and civil society partners to facilitate
Other	these vulnerable populations' access to health and social services
Other	that enable them to live productive lives.
Other	.
Other	Program objectives include reducing the risk and impact of
Other	HIV/AIDS and other health threats facing the most vulnerable
Other	populations in Rwanda by increasing the capacity of families
Other	and communities to provide better care for vulnerable individuals.
Other	This includes ISVP support for vulnerable people to access
Other	education as a core element for improving protection against
Other	adverse circumstances over the long term. ISVP also involves
Other	boys and men as well as girls and women in accessing sexual
Other	reproductive health information and services. Plan supports
Other	the facilitation of a process in which boys think through the
Other	advantages - and disadvantages - of living with core elements
Other	that characterize the prevailing male masculinity. Plan also
Other	provides technical leadership in early childhood development
Other	activities that support positive parenting skills and community
Other	Early Childhood Development centers. Across the work of ISVP
Other	Plan provides technical leadership to ensure that gender is mainstreamed.
Other	.
Other	5. WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE
Other	.
Other	Plan's goal: Children and youth will realize their right to
Other	safe, reliable, and affordable drinking water supplies; to
Other	hygienic sanitation; and to live in a clean environment.
Other	.
Other	Plan's water, sanitation, and hygiene(WASH) programs are reaching
Other	a growing number of people, and we are one of the leading proponents
Other	of community-led total sanitation. This rights-based approach
Other	involves encouraging communities-often children and young people-
Other	to take the lead in improving their sanitation and to champion
Other	the benefits of hygiene and sanitation to their peers, families,
Other	and neighbors. We train and support the community to maintain
Other	water supplies and latrines and reinforce behaviors such as
Other	hand washing with soap. We work alongside government, communities,
Other	and local groups to ensure that our impact is sustainable in
Other	the long term.
Other	.
Other	Plan International USA expended approximately $5,094,382 on
Other	water, sanitation, and hygiene in FY16, $4,118,209 of which
Other	was transferred to PII. Examples of Plan's FY16 projects in
Other	this area include: Afya Pwani - Kenya; Testing Modified Community
Other	-Led Total Sanitation for Scalability; Cambodia Rural Sanitation
Other	and Hygiene Program; and Promoting Agriculture, Health, and
Other	Alternative Livelihoods (PAHAL) - Nepal.
Other	.
Other	AFYA PWANI - KENYA
Other	Under the leadership of Pathfinder International for this three
Other	year, $48 million program, Plan, the Cooperative League of
Other	the USA (CLUSA), International Centre for Reproductive Health,
Other	Futures Group International and O'Hanlon Health Consulting

Other	Taveta to improve access to and utilization of quality health
Other	services including HIV; Maternal, Neonatal, Child Health (MNCH);
Other	family planning; WASH; and nutrition. In the consortium, Plan
Other	International is responsible for the WASH and Nutrition component
Other	that aims at increasing access to and utilization of WASH and
Other	nutrition services by the communities in Kilifi County. The
Other	project's investment in WASH and nutrition focuses at the system
Other	level to: build the County health service management capacity;
Other	integrate WASH and nutrition into school and health institutions'
Other	regular portfolio; and at the community level to support the
Other	community's involvement in WASH-related decision making. Lastly,
Other	Plan's work supports community-based WASH and nutrition activities
Other	including handwashing, household water treatment, safe sanitation,
Other	community support groups to implement nutrition trainings,
Other	kitchen gardening, and planning for diversified diets.
Other	.
Other	TESTING MODIFIED COMMUNITY-LED TOTAL SANITATION FOR SCALABILITY
Other	This five-year $7.3 million project funded by the Bill & Melinda
Other	Gates Foundation aims to advance rural sanitation programs
Other	in Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, and worldwide by analyzing and improving
Other	the cost-effectiveness and scalability of the Community-Led
Other	Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach. Successfully mobilizing communities
Other	to reach Open Defecation Free (ODF) status depends on several
Other	preconditions - not least the capacity of local actors. Through
Other	this work, in partnership with the Water Institute at the University
Other	of North Carolina (UNC), Plan tested, implemented, and evaluated
Other	a first-of-its kind operational research study on community-wide
Other	sanitation behavior change. The project measured the relative
Other	effect of different local actors on CLTS (i.e., natural leaders,
Other	teachers and government staff), as compared to conventional
Other	(NGO-facilitated) implementation.
Other	.
Other	CAMBODIA RURAL SANITATION AND HYGIENE PROGRAM

Other	Fund (GSF), a unique financing mechanism for sanitation programs,
Other	and targets rural villages in 10 provinces: Kampong Cham,
Other	Kampong Speu, Takeo, Kandal, Svay Rieng, Kampong Chhang, Kampong
Other	Thom, Kratie, Kampot, and Prey Veng. CR-SHIP aims to increase
Other	access to improved sanitation, to promote proper hygiene practices
Other	in rural communities of Cambodia, and to strengthen the capacity
Other	of the government, local authorities, and local NGOs in promoting
Other	improved sanitation and hygiene. The program utilizes and delivers
Other	its service through non-hardware subsidized approaches that
Other	have proven successful in enhancing sanitation access within
Other	the poorest groups in society: Community-Led Total Sanitation
Other	(CLTS); School and Community Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
Other	(SC WASH); Sanitation Marketing; Information, Education and
Other	Communication (IEC); Behavior Change Campaigns (BCC). The project
Other	utilizes regular monitoring and evaluation to track progress
Other	and identify challenges. Recent estimates of impact show that
Other	sub-grantees have: conducted CLTS triggering activities in
Other	2,027 communities; 603,716 people are now living in open-defecation
Other	free environments; 471,058 people have gained access to improved
Other	toilets; and 1.1 million people have been reached by messages
Other	on hand-washing with soap.
Other	.
Other	PROMOTING AGRICULTURE, HEALTH, AND ALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOODS
Other	(PAHAL)- NEPAL
Other	Under the leadership of Mercy Corps for this $37 million, USAID/Food
Other	for Peace-funded comprehensive program, Plan International,
Other	Development Enterprises (DE), Tufts University's Feinstein
Other	International Center (FIC), and Nepalese partners NTAG, Rupantaran,
Other	RIMSNepal, and SAPPROS work at a systemic level to address
Other	both the symptoms and root causes of food insecurity, targeting
Other	individuals, households, communities, and systems to build
Other	resilience. As the technical lead for the sanitation component
Other	of the program, Plan is implementing community-led total sanitation
Other	and promotion of a Total Sanitation strategy that focuses on
Other	promoting latrine use, personal hygiene, hand washing with
Other	water and soap, and household's drinking water safety activities.
Other	The project is operational in 167 Village Development Committees
Other	(VDCs) in 14 target districts of the Far West and Mid-West Regions.
Other	.
Other	6. YOUTH AND ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
Other	.
Other	Plan's goal: Young adolescents and youth will live in communities
Other	that value their participation and provide opportunities for
Other	their leadership and economic empowerment.
Other	.
Other	Plan currently works with youth in 72 countries around the world.
Other	Through Plan's community-based, gender-sensitive approach,
Other	our programs engage marginalized youth to build their productive
Other	assets and prepare them with appropriate skills to manage their
Other	transition to work and adulthood. Our holistic programming
Other	targets very young adolescents (10-14), adolescents (15-19),
Other	and youth (20-29).
Other	.
Other	Plan International USA expended approximately $7,017,521 on
Other	youth and economic empowerment in FY16, $4,495,741 of which
Other	was transferred to PII. Examples of Plan's FY16 projects in
Other	this area include: USAID Bridges to Employment in El Salvador;
Other	Women And Youth Saving For Empowerment; Lifelong Learning,
Other	Guatemala; and Philippines: Improving the Financial Capability
Other	of Poor Households Affected by Typhoon Haiyan.
Other	.
Other	USAID BRIDGES TO EMPLOYMENT IN EL SALVADOR
Other	The USAID Bridges to Employment project, led by DAI and in
Other	partnership with Plan International and JBS International,
Other	aims to link over 20,000 at-risk youth-especially young women
Other	and vulnerable populations-to basic social resources of work,
Other	knowledge, security, and social capital to foster social inclusion
Other	through employment opportunities. The $3 million subcontract
Other	will advance three objectives: 1) Improved enabling environment
Other	promoting workforce development of at-risk youth in targeted
Other	high-growth sectors; 2) Improved quality of workforce development
Other	services to effectively insert at-risk youth into targeted
Other	high-growth sectors; and 3) Improved workforce readiness demonstrated
Other	by targeted at-risk youth. The project will work with youth,
Other	employers, training institutions, and other stakeholders in
Other	15 of El Salvador's high-crime municipalities.
Other	.
Other	Plan International is a key partner and leads Objective 3,
Other	working directly with youth to increase their employment and
Other	self-employment opportunities. This project will allow Plan
Other	to continue to promote and validate our global Pathways Approach
Other	to Youth Economic Empowerment by scaling up Plan's previous
Other	youth employment programming in El Salvador 10 times (from
Other	reaching 2,000 to 20,000 vulnerable youth). Plan will lead
Other	major activities including the implementation of a comprehensive
Other	Participatory Youth Assessment and the development and implementation
Other	of soft skills and life skills through training curriculum.
Other	Moreover, Plan will facilitate alliances with service providers
Other	to improve access to workforce development training and basic
Other	education opportunities for at-risk youth. Through business
Other	incubation, Plan will support the development of youth entrepreneur
Other	initiatives, driven by identified market demands. Plan will
Other	also facilitate access to career counseling and mentoring services
Other	for at-risk youth and material support as youth transition
Other	to jobs.
Other	.
Other	WOMEN AND YOUTH SAVING FOR EMPOWERMENT
Other	The WYSE $1 million project, which will run until July 2017,
Other	funds the expansion of savings groups (SGs) in three West African
Other	countries-Benin, Burkina Faso, and Togo-and uses them as drivers
Other	for social and economic development. WYSE aims to engage over
Other	39,000 women and youth members in more than 1,700 savings groups.
Other	The project reflects Plan's Child-Centered Development approach,
Other	through which marginalized groups of women and youth generate
Other	increased assets (personal, social, financial, and physical)
Other	and access to quality services for themselves and their children.
Other	Expanding beyond the typical savings group model, WYSE uses
Other	savings groups as platforms for learning and skills building.
Other	By participating in enhancement activities to develop skill
Other	sets such as literacy, leadership, enterprise development,
Other	and entrepreneurship, members strengthen their financial management
Other	and maximize investment of savings and dividends.
Other	.
Other	LIFELONG LEARNING, GUATEMALA
Other	This project is funded by USAID and led by Juarez and Associates,
Other	in partnership with Plan and ChildFund, to improve education
Other	quality and access for underserved populations in Guatemala
Other	through two main components: Component A) Learning to Read;
Other	and Component B) Education for Employment and Lifelong Learning.
Other	.
Other	Plan is partnering with school communities to increase parents'
Other	and communities' awareness of education, especially for girls.
Other	To begin, Plan led several assessments in the Western Highlands
Other	to better understand educational challenges facing their communities
Other	and to develop viable solutions to address issues of quality
Other	education, literacy, and intercultural bilingual education.
Other	.
Other	Plan also led a participatory youth assessment to better understand
Other	the constraints of youth access to formal and alternative education,
Other	vocational training, and civic engagement. The methodology
Other	integrated qualitative and quantitative data collection that
Other	will continue to inform the project's strategies to increase
Other	opportunities for out-of-school youth to attend school programs
Other	and develop marketable skills for employment. The results produced
Other	a database of approximately 1,300 variables, indicating a high
Other	level of apathy among youth, high levels of unemployment, and
Other	reports of extensive gender discrimination. As a result Plan
Other	developed an action plan for increased involvement of parents
Other	and community members in education, including activities to
Other	build their capacity through an awareness campaign on quality
Other	education. Additionally, through Aulas para Padres, or Classrooms
Other	for Parents, Plan is engaging parents and community members
Other	more in their children's education and issues that impact them.
Other	Through this work, Plan and the Aulas para Padres have identified
Other	hundreds of young people who have not continued their studies,
Other	and who are now being supported to reintegrate into the education
Other	system.
Other	.
Other	Plan also works to create alliances in each of the 12 target
Other	communities among key youth service providers, thereby maximizing
Other	resources for more effective and complementary service provision
Other	to local youth. Partners include training providers, employers,
Other	community-based organizations, parent and youth associations,
Other	and local and national government officials. Plan supports
Other	these networks to generate and coordinate projects for out-of
Other	-school youth, improving their capacities and their conditions
Other	for a better quality of life.
Other	PHILIPPINES: IMPROVING THE FINANCIAL CAPABILITY OF POOR HOUSEHOLDS
Other	AFFECTED BY TYPHOON HAIYAN
Other	JP Morgan Chase Foundation was funding community savings groups (CSGs)
Other	for families that were affected by Typhoon Haiyan. The project
Other	aimed to strengthen the livelihoods and improve the economic
Other	security of poor communities by helping poor households' smooth
Other	consumption (particularly in the event of financial shocks), increase
Other	their ability to accumulate cash and physical assets, and promote
Other	commercial income generation. These activities bolstered Plan's
Other	already robust recovery and rehabilitation approach in typhoon
Other	-affected areas. The project has three primary objectives:
Other	to increase household security through savings; to strengthen
Other	households' financial capacities to utilize loans and savings
Other	for productive investments and developmental needs through
Other	economic and life skills training modules; and to improve access
Other	of CSG members to basic social services through community networks
Other	and referrals.
Other	.
Other	B. BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
Other	.
Other	As part of our mission, we promote learning and understanding
Other	among people of different countries and cultures. Our child
Other	sponsorship program-through which a sponsor in the U.S. is
Other	linked with a child in need-encourages children and sponsors
Other	to exchange letters, cards, and photos as a way to better understand
Other	each other's cultures. Through our website and sponsor communications,
Other	we frequently urge sponsors to send email communications or
Other	letters to their sponsored children. These cross-cultural exchanges
Other	provide the foundation for the sponsor/child relationship.
Other	.
Other	Plan also provides various program communications to sponsors
Other	throughout the year. Sponsors are introduced to their children
Other	through the initial materials in their Sponsorship Guide. The
Other	"Sponsored Child Introduction" provides information on the
Other	child and his or her family, along with two photographs. This
Other	background information is accompanied by an "Area Overview"
Other	that provides information relevant to activities, programs,
Other	and projects in the sponsored child's program area and country.
Other	Our annual "Sponsored Child Update" also details activities,
Other	programs and projects within a child's program area and country.
Other	This update is accompanied by new photographs of the sponsored
Other	child and his or her family members.
Other	.
Other	Building relationships is a reciprocal process, and we frequently
Other	encourage two-way communications. We contact all new sponsors
Other	to welcome them to Plan and encourage them to write to their
Other	sponsored child. To support sponsors in writing to their sponsored
Other	children consistently, we provide turn-around stationery several
Other	times throughout the year. In addition, we remind sponsors
Other	of their children's upcoming birthdays and encourage them to
Other	send birthday greetings.
Other	.
Other	The cost of $1,065,570 associated with these cross-cultural exchanges
Other	is known as "Building Relationships." During the year ending
Other	June 30, 2016, there were more than 112,000 instances of communications
Other	between sponsors, sponsored children and families, and the
Other	child's local Plan office. These communications are processed
Other	through a centralized communications and mail area at the Plan
Other	International USA office in Warwick, RI.
Other	.
Other	C. DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY
Other	.
Other	As part of its mission, Plan International USA conducts educational
Other	outreach programs in the U.S. with youth, educators, donors,
Other	sponsors, and the public about issues affecting children and
Other	families in the developing world. Development Education programs
Other	enhance the public's understanding of the causes and conditions
Other	of poverty in developing countries and the role that Plan has
Other	in the development process. Development Education is one of
Other	the key tools Plan uses to strengthen relationships with and
Other	between individual children, adults, groups, organizations,
Other	and institutions. Plan International USA brings messages to
Other	the public through its country information briefs, cross-cultural
Other	communications, website updates, monthly e-newsletter, and
Other	education toolkits.
Other	.
Other	Information about issues affecting children is regularly posted
Other	on our website and through social media channels. Youth group
Other	activities and speaking engagements by staff also play a key
Other	role in the delivery of these messages.
Other	.
Other	The Youth Engagement and Action (YEA) team at Plan International
Other	USA works directly with students and teachers in an effort to
Other	increase awareness of the challenges and barriers that children
Other	and youth in the developing world face. Specifically, our youth
Other	network -- Youth United for Global Action & Awareness (YUGA) --
Other	gives young people a voice by helping them organize meetings,
Other	school activities, retreats, and events that bring attention
Other	to children affected by poverty, HIV/AIDS, child trafficking,
Other	and other issues.
Other	.
Other	The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is another body of young people
Other	from around the U.S. striving to vocalize the needs of youth
Other	by serving as ambassadors to Plan International USA. The YAB
Other	creates and nurtures a network between Plan's international
Other	youth and organizational decision-makers in order to reinforce
Other	Plan's mission of empowering children across the world. Its
Other	role ranges from participating in discussions with the Board
Other	of Directors to collaborating with other Plan Federation members'
Other	youth advisory groups, and growing a network of youth across
Other	the U.S. dedicated to supporting the work of Plan.
Other	.
Other	Additionally, Plan International USA facilitates engagement
Other	through group meetings, development of school curricula, and
Other	advocacy that reinforces our communications around poverty
Other	and community development. Plan International USA is an active
Other	partner and/or member of groups and coalitions that support
Other	these issues, such as the Sanitation and Water for All Partnership
Other	(SWA), Alliance for International Youth Development, and InterAction.
Other	Plan International USA is also a founding member, chair, and
Other	coordinator of the Orphans and Vulnerable Children Task Force.
Other	.
Other	Other important elements of Plan's outreach are the initiatives
Other	and partnerships we develop to increase awareness about challenges
Other	in the developing world. Plan and Nickelodeon International's
Other	"Together For Good" is a global initiative to empower kids to make
Other	positive changes in the world around them. Together For Good serves as
Other	Nickelodeon's international platform to inspire its audiences to
Other	get involved in their communities, provide the resources and education
Other	to get the job done, and celebrate the impact they're making every
Other	day. Plan is Nickelodeon's inaugural partner for this initiative.
Other	The international-only campaign launched July 21st outside of
Other	the US across Nickelodeon platforms in 150 countries and
Other	territories. Nickelodeon and Plan International invited children
Other	aged 6 to 17 years to log on to good.nickelodeon.tv to read
Other	inspirational stories about other children and upload photos
Other	and videos of themselves making a difference in their community.
Other	A panel of Nickelodeon International and Plan International
Other	team members then chose the finalists in each participating
Other	region who were then recognized for their achievements on Nickelodeon's
Other	websites and social media channels. Nickelodeon viewers then
Other	had the opportunity to vote online for the regional finalists
Other	and the winner, celebrating these special change-makers who
Other	are creatively making a stand-out impact in their community.
Other	Nearly 78,000 kids voted for their favorite finalist.
Other	The campaign culminated with a celebration honoring change-makers
Other	from around the world and the announcement of one lucky finalist.
Other	The winner was a young boy from Guatemala who helped translate
Other	medical needs for local clients and visiting doctors in his community.
Other	The campaign was a huge success and leveraged over $13m of media
Other	outreach across multiple Nickelodeon platforms.
Other	.
Other	Plan also has an ongoing partnership with Glamour magazine,
Other	which announced its newest charitable initiative in 2014: the
Other	Girl Project. The Girl Project was conceptualized and started
Other	in part because of recent world events highlighting the dangers
Other	girls face going to and staying in school. Along with three
Other	other non-profit partners, Plan is benefiting from money raised
Other	from the print campaign and broader outreach, including advocacy
Other	and awareness-raising events featuring First Lady Michelle
Other	Obama and other notable changemakers. Plan youth ambassadors
Other	from Vietnam, the Philippines, and El Salvador have spoken
Other	at high-level events promoting international support of making
Other	sure girls can safely go to school.
Other	.
Other	A different type of partnership -- celebrity engagement -- has been
Other	extremely helpful in leveraging our brand and raising awareness.
Other	Celebrities are able to lend their voices to Plan International
Other	USA's causes and to amplify our messages to various audiences,
Other	particularly through print, on-air and social media channels.
Other	Through donor communications, sponsor meetings, website publications,
Other	and public gatherings, Plan International USA will continue
Other	to reach out to the public and invite them to engage with us
Other	and make a lasting difference for children around the world.
Other	We have found that once people understand these issues, they
Other	are willing to take action. Our task is to help bring these
Other	issues to light.
Other	.
Other	Regular meetings between CEOs and senior staff of organizations
Other	with similar missions help to give all of us a stronger voice.
Other	For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the total Development
Other	Education and Advocacy expenses were $1,088,373. During the
Other	fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, Plan International USA initiated
Other	over 1,100,000 mailed or emailed communications, to help educate
Other	our donors and partners and also participated in various
Other	presentations, activities, and forums.
