About this file
This file is a Performance Indicator Tracking Table (PITT) template and instruction guide for implementing organizations managing counterterrorism projects funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism. The PITT serves as a standardized tool for documenting and monitoring all project indicators throughout the period of performance, tracking progress against quarterly and final targets. Implementing organizations are required to populate the template with outcomes and indicators drawn from their Performance Monitoring Plans (PMP), including at least two output-level indicators and one outcome-level indicator per outcome, with a minimum of three relevant CT indicators incorporated. The template requires organizations to establish initial baselines, set quarterly and final targets, record actual data on a quarterly basis, calculate progress to completion percentages, and document comments explaining variances, data limitations, or missing information marked as "N/A."
The PITT template applies specifically to the "Reinforcing Protection of the Kenya Border shared with Somalia" cooperative agreement, a 15-month results-focused initiative under the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701) administered by the Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism. The program aims to enhance counterterrorism capabilities within Kenya's Administrative Police Services through three lines of effort: low-light and night-vision ability, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for intelligence and surveillance, and organic explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) capability. The project focuses on securing the Kenya-Somalia border and protecting the Manda Bay Military Base in Lamu County, which houses critical U.S. military assets and personnel. Organizations receiving funding must submit completed PITTs as stand-alone spreadsheets or annexes with quarterly and final performance reports, with data reviewed and analyzed quarterly to identify progress, gaps, trends, and inconsistencies throughout project implementation.

Instructions
| PITT Instructions |
| Working from a CT project's Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP), implementers should incorporate all indicator data into a performance indicator tracking table (PITT) using the template under the next tab as a model. The PITT documents every indicator's data and tracks its progress over time. This allows for implementers and CT to easily identify gaps, trends, and inconsistencies. When submitting quarterly and final reports, PITTs must be updated with the latest indicator data ("actuals" columns) and submitted as stand-alone spreadsheets or as annexes within the quarterly performance report itself. Implementers should draw from relevant PMP fields (e.g., indicators, indicator type, disaggregations, baselines, targets, etc.) to populate their PITTs. For projects lasting longer than one year, additional columns should be added to the template for quarterly targets and actuals. During project implementation, indicator data should be reviewed and analyzed on a quarterly basis to determine the extent of the project's progress over its period of performance. Notable successes or challenges deriving from the data should be noted in the quarterly report narratives. |
| 1. Copy the Outcomes from the PMP to your PITT in Column B. Add rows as needed to accomodate additional outcomes that reflect your project's parameters. |
| 2. Indicator: Add indicators in Column B under their relevant outcomes. In line with PMP requirements, the PITT must include both output-level indicators (at least two per outcome) and outcome-level indicators (at least one per outcome). These can be drawn from the list of provided CT indicators (see Annex II in PMP Indicators "How To" Guide), and recipients are reminded to use at least three relevant CT indicators. Recipients may also develop/use customized indicators as needed. |
| 2a. Disaggregation: Add any disaggregates of an indicator in separate rows below the indicator. Disaggregation involves additional sub-dividing of data to create additional units of analysis such as geography or sex for a specific indicator. |
| 3. Initial Baseline: Add an initial baseline number in Column C. Baselines are data that are collected before or at the start of a project and provide a basis for planning and/or assessing subsequent progress and impact. For new projects, baselines are usually "zero." The baselines for ongoing projects that have been implemented for some time (e.g., through cost amendments, etc.) should include previous project figures (the number of individuals previously trained or supported). If a project conducts a baseline study, then the PITT must be updated with those figures once the study is completed. |
| 4. Target: In the "Target" columns, add the expected target value for each indicator for each quarter (and for the entire project). Targets are the value of what we expect to achieve for each indicator for each quarter and for the entire project (under "Final Target"). They should be ambitious but achievable. For indicators with disaggregations, include disaggregated targets as well, such as targets specifically for males and females. Use the PMP's Final Target value to establish your quarterly and overall project targets. |
| 5. Actual: The quarterly “Actual” columns are used to report the most recent data available for each indicator. This figure must be updated on a quarterly basis. In the "Final Actual" column, tabulate data from each quarter to determine the total actual for each indicator. |
| 6.Progress to Completion: In this column, "progress to completion" indicates the % progress against an indicator's total target. The percentage formula is as follows: final actual/final target*100=% progress to completion. |
| 7. Comments: Add a brief description in the comments cell for each indicator as needed. If indicators are significantly lower or higher than the target, explain why. If there are any data limitations/challenges for specific indicators, please provide a brief explanation (e.g., self-reporting bias, obtaining follow-up, determining demographic information from administrative files, etc.). Please also include an explanation if data is missing, and mark these cells "N/A". Outlining such limitations and challenges helps to understand/explain the feasibility of collecting and measuring data and controlling for data quality. |
