FP CT PITT Template (Countering FTO Illicit Mining).xlsx

This file is a Performance Indicator Tracking Table (PITT) template and instructional guide for implementers of the Countering Foreign Terrorist Organization Use of Illicit Mining initiative under the Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism's Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701). The template serves as a standardized tool for documenting and monitoring project performance against indicators established in a project's Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP). Implementers are required to populate the PITT with outcome statements, indicators (both output-level and outcome-level), initial baselines, quarterly and final targets, quarterly and final actuals, progress-to-completion percentages, and comments explaining variances or data limitations. The template accommodates disaggregated data by demographic categories such as geography or sex and requires quarterly updates with the most recent available data for submission alongside quarterly performance reports and final reports.

The instructional guidance specifies that all outcomes and indicators from the PMP must be transferred to the PITT, with a minimum of two output-level indicators and one outcome-level indicator per outcome, and at least three relevant counterterrorism indicators incorporated across the project. Initial baselines typically represent zero for new projects or cumulative figures for ongoing projects that have received amendments. Targets should be ambitious but achievable, derived from the PMP's final target values, while quarterly actuals must be updated on a recurring basis to track progress against targets. The progress-to-completion column calculates percentage achievement using the formula: final actual divided by final target multiplied by 100. Comments must explain significant variances between targets and actuals, document data collection challenges such as self-reporting bias or follow-up difficulties, and note any missing data marked as "N/A." Quarterly data review and analysis enables implementers and CT to identify gaps, trends, and inconsistencies throughout the project's period of performance.
