Due Date RMP: 2 weeks after award.

F.7.2. Annual Work Plan (AWP)

The annual work plan (AWP) details how the Contractor will use the work plan year effectively to achieve the award’s objectives. The AWP serves as a detailed guide to program implementation and once approved, represents an agreement as to the nature and timing of discrete tasks and interventions. Discrete tasks include training events, workshops, and seminars, learning events, outreach events, and information dissemination activities such as publications and reports. It is essential that the AWP be concise so as to ensure that it will be a simple reference tool for the implementer to track progress against the approved implementation schedule, and for USAID to monitor and evaluate performance through the work plan year and to ensure that award objectives are accomplished on time, on budget, and in accordance with expectations. Each AWP will form the basis for an annual management review conducted by USAID and program staff to assess program directions, priorities, achievements, and prior year implementation results, as well as management and implementation impediments, and to make recommendations for revisions.

Annual work plans will identify a logical sequence of steps to be undertaken to implement each program component and must include an associated timetable. The Contractor may not include interventions in the AWP that fall outside the parameters of the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

The AWP, at a minimum must include:

1. Proposed interventions, accomplishments, and progress towards achieving results for the given year.

2. Corresponding schedule depicted on a Gantt chart and level of effort required to complete the interventions.

3. Description and estimate of amounts of short-term technical assistance, training, and other support resources that would be required to provide the assistance proposed.

4. Detailed budget for implementation including illustrative budget breakdown per proposed intervention.

5. The anticipated outputs and outcomes from each intervention conducted.

6. A Gender and vulnerable populations strategy addressing how gender and vulnerable populations will be integrated into the design and implementation of strategies that encourage and include women and vulnerable groups (indigenous persons, Afro Colombians, persons with disabilities and the LGBTI community). At a minimum, the strategy must address major existing inequalities and a plan to guard exacerbating against these.

7. The identification of any assumptions used in preparing the work plan, as well as suggested alternatives if necessary and the methods to assess whether the assumptions hold true.

8. The anticipated risks with regard to achieving the anticipated objectives of the contract and how they will be mitigated.

9. Any specific award terms or conditions that interfere with maximizing the developmental impact of the award.

10. The strategies and approaches the activity will adopt in coordinating and collaborating with other USAID activities/projects, relevant host country governments and other line agencies, local governments and other relevant stakeholders implementing projects in the same geographic locations; and

11. Updated QASP.

The first AWP will cover the period from the Contract effective date through the end of the next U.S. fiscal year (i.e. through September 30, 2021). Subsequent AWPs will cover the Activity from October 1 through September 30. If acceptable, the COR will provide a written approval of the final AWP to the Contractor. Failure to have an approved AWP in place may be viewed as a failure to comply with essential terms and conditions of the contract. Significant deviations to the approved AWP will require the additional prior written approval of the COR (and may require a revision to the approved AMELP. The AWP must not exceed 20 pages.

First AWP Due Date: 60 calendar days after award.

AWP for proceeding years: 45 days before the end of the fiscal year.

F.7.3. Activity Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan (AMELP)

The Contractor is required to have an Activity Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan (AMELP) capable of tracking and documenting progress against the Activity objectives and results. The AMELP reflects the award progress over the life of the Activity and is a critical tool for planning, managing, documenting, and evaluating performance. The AMELP must be reviewed and validated annually, and revised when appropriate in consultation with the COR.

The AMELP will describe the monitoring, evaluation and learning tasks for the Activity, the composition of staff/personnel needed to carry out such tasks with the level of effort and costs, and an overview of the strategy that will be used to track progress towards achieving the desired results. The Contractor will use the Theories of Change (TOC)) methodology as the basis to develop a comprehensive AMELP that will track progress towards achieving the desired results, meeting annual and life of activity targets.

The AMELP must include a full description of how the data and information will be collected, analyzed, and used, based on data quality standards referenced in ADS 203. The Contractor must ensure that the contract’s AMELP focuses not only on quantitative reporting of outputs, but also gathers qualitative information. In addition, the Contractor will provide twelve (12) performance indicators with its correspondent Performance Indicator Reference Sheets (PIRS) to describe data sources, methodologies, frequency of and people responsible for data collection, as well as baselines for each of the indicators and annual targets.

Indicators for the activity as a whole can be drawn from the Standard Foreign Assistance Indicators. If one of such indicators is selected the same standard PIRSs must be used so that the results can be aggregated at the Colombia Mission level. The Contractor may further define a “precise definition” according to the Activity’s context in the standard PIRSs as appropriate.

However, the precise definition must be within the scope of the indicator’s standard definition.

When selecting indicators, the Contractor must consider the relevance and accuracy of the indicators according to the planned interventions and intended results, as well as time and resources required to collect and report each indicator data.

The Contractor must include for all person indicators, data segregated by sex, but also where possible, by vulnerable groups. The AMELP will show how baseline measurements will be established and how the impact of proposed interventions will be assessed.

Ultimately, the Contractor, in collaboration with the COR, USAID/Colombia Program Office and/or M&E Specialist, will verify that the proposed indicators are consistent with and meet the data collection needs of USAID’s Project Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan and the Mission’s Performance Management Plan (PMP). USAID/Colombia may provide some higher-level indicators at the Project (DO) level, that the Contractor will be required to track to support USAID/Colombia overall evaluation of the Activity’s impact. After the receipt of USAID/Colombia comments, the Contractor must revise and submit a final version within 10 calendar days for COR approval.

The AMELP will include:

1. A Results Framework (RF) or a Logical Framework (LF) that reflect the objectives described in the award;

2. The indicators that will be used to assess progress towards the Activity goal, purpose, and sub-purpose; It must include both USAID Standard Foreign Assistance indicators as well as customized indicators developed specifically for the Activity;

3. Monitoring and evaluation structures and functions;

4. Detailed Performance Indicators Reference Sheet (PIRS) for each indicator;

5. Plan for dissemination/sharing and use of M&E data;

6. The sources, method, frequency and limitation of data collection, review, analysis and reporting;

7. Data entry, storage, and security plan;

8. The parties responsible for data collection and management;

9. The baseline data or the plan and timeline for gathering the baseline data for each indicator;

10. The estimated cost associated with implementing this AMELP;

11. Annual and tentative life of project targets for each indicator;

12. The Data Quality Assessment (DQA) plan and procedures;

13. An Evaluation Plan, if applicable, and how the internal and/or external evaluation results will be used to inform project implementation (learning and adapting);

14. In order to better represent the results of Activity interventions, in the AMELP, the

Contractor must identify which indicators lend themselves to geographic representation and report accordingly.

15. Coordination with others for monitoring and evaluation tasks (as applicable)

16. Capacity building in monitoring and evaluation (as applicable)

17. Plan for specific reviews, evaluations and studies;

18. Annexes to the AMELP may include a schedule for performance monitoring tasks, indicators tracking table, indicator reference sheets, and any additional M&E tools and guidance as relevant to the Activity.

Report in MONITOR - Mission-wide Monitoring Management Information System

(MIS)

Once the AMELP is approved by the COR, the Contractor must register in USAID/Colombia MONITOR System the following:

1. Activity information (Summary, start/end dates, objective, budget, geographical coverage, target population, etc.)

2. Sub-activity information (Summary, start/end dates, objective, budget, geographical coverage, target population, classification), etc. A sub-activity is understood as an effort within the Activity, carried out either directly by the contractor or by its sub grantees/Subcontractors. The sub-activity should have a clear purpose, USAID resources, indicators and targets linked to the Activity’s AMELP and an environmental determination (categorical exclusion or Environmental management plan).

3. AMELP indicators (PIRS Information).

Draft AMELP Due Date: 60 calendar days after award.

Final AMELP Due Date: 90 calendar days after award.

F.7.4. Quarterly Performance Reports
