About this file
This is a Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) template document that provides guidance for grant applicants on establishing accountability mechanisms for project outcomes. The template requires applicants to define up to three project-specific objectives aligned with the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) objectives, establish direct and practical indicators to measure progress toward those objectives, identify major project activities with completion milestones, and provide baseline data and data sources for each indicator. Grantees awarded under this opportunity will be required to submit quarterly reports to the Grants Officer detailing progress against agreed-upon indicators and milestones, provide narrative assessments of progress, and identify any performance issues. The template emphasizes the distinction between activities (specific actions undertaken) and results (lasting outcomes and impact), with the core instruction that successful performance monitoring focuses on achieving measurable project results rather than simply executing planned activities.
The template is applicable to the U.S.-Nigeria Creative, Digital, & Innovation Economy Initiative, a cooperative agreement and grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of State's U.S. Consulate General Lagos under the Public Diplomacy Programs (CFDA 19.040). This initiative aims to increase two-way trade and investment between the United States and Nigeria across seven priority themes including Intellectual Property Infrastructure, Exchange Alumni Network Activation, Streaming and Digital Rights, Co-Production and Market Access, U.S. Education Access, Gaming and Emerging Tech, and Content Creation. The program targets Nigerian creative and tech professionals, entrepreneurs, exchange alumni, university faculty, and U.S. companies seeking Nigerian partnerships, with implementation support leveraging 8,000 exchange alumni and 15 American Spaces in southern Nigeria.

Guidance for Applicants
A successful Performance Monitoring Plan ensures that applicants focus on achieving project results, rather than just activities. Results are the outcomes and lasting impact the project. Activities describe specific actions undertaken over a specific time to achieve results.
The key elements of the PMP are:
a) Project Objective(s): statement of the expected results of the project for which implementers will be held accountable
b) Indicators: measures used to gauge progress towards objectives — indicators should be direct, objective, adequate and practical.
c) Project activities: major actions carried out with grant funds; activities are directly linked to and adequate for the achievement of the project objectives.
d) Milestones: target date for the accomplishment of each major activity within the timeframe of the project.
