The activities are undertaken primarily to generate monthly-giving donors as opposed to soliciting one-time gifts. Although the gross receipts do include some one-time gifts, the focus of the fundraising efforts is on child and project sponsors who enroll in a long-term voluntary giving program. As a result, it is not unusual to have relatively small amounts of revenue within the same fiscal year as the campaigns are conducted. Instead, the intention is to recover the costs over a longer period of time during which the retained donors make continuing contributions. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the campaigns with Public Outreach generated approx. 3,400 new donors of which approx. 89% enrolled in monthly giving programs. Line 2b col(v) The information relating to activity with GiveBridge is similar to above with similar goals and objectives around obtaining monthly-giving donors. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the campaign with GiveBridge generated approx. 6,800 new gifts of which approx. 88% enrolled in monthly-giving programs. Line 2b col(v) The information relating to activity with Tribal Vision and Cause Wired Co., LLC is different than the other two firms noted on Schedule G because Tribal Vision and Cause Wired Co., LLC are known as fundraising counsel whereas the others are soliciting contributions. Fundraising counsel are generally defined as any person/organization who (for compensation) plans, manages, advises or assists a charitable organization with the solicitation of contributions which the charitable organization conducts. Fundraising counsel do not directly solicit contributions from individuals. As such, while the services described below may fall within the broad scope of work done by a "fundraising professional," there are no fundraising revenue figures directly attributed to these consultants because they do not actually solicit or collect revenue for the organization through fundraising campaigns. Line 2b col(v) During fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, Tribal Vision provided Plan International USA with general digital content marketing and strategy consultation. Tribal Vision analyzed and executed social media and display advertising and provided the organization with recommendations on how to optimize digital advertising.

Once the 990 has been approved by the Audit Committee, it is sent electronically to the full Board of Directors for review and comment. Once the comment period is over, either the Board approves or delegates the authority to the Executive Committee of the Board to approve the Form 990. Once approved it is filed with the IRS and posted to the Organization's website for public disclosure. Pt VI, Line 12c On an annual basis, the officers, directors and all employees receive a copy of and review Plan International USA's Conflict of Interest disclosure questionnaire. Each of them signs that questionnaire where they must disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest. All questionnaires with any actual or potential conflicts are then reviewed by either Chair of the Audit Committee, Board Chair, Senior Director of Human Resources, or the Director of Ethics and Compliance depending on the position of the person whose questionnaire has disclosure. Appropriate action is taken as needed. During the year if potential conflicts arise, they must be disclosed promptly and 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 of the Board meeting. Pt VI, Line 15a Every year (typically in late summer), the Executive Committee of the Board (EXCO)leads the annual CEO performance review process. The EXCO requests and reviews a CEO evaluation feedback form that is received from each Board Member and can also include feedback from members of the Executive Team. Pt VI, Line 15a Based on that feedback, the EXCO prepares the performance Pt VI, Line 15a review for Board approval. The discussion with the CEO is conducted by the EXCO. Pt VI, Line 15a Based on the CEO's performance against objectives and a comparison to external market factors for CEO's in similar locations and of similar sized organizations, an increase (if applicable based on the aforementioned factors) is recommended by the EXCO and brought to the Board for approval typically around the time of the September Board meeting. The EXCO retains documentation with respect to the process, deliberations, external data, and the decisions made regarding CEO compensation. The process includes a regular review of the benchmarks with periodic consultation with a compensation specialist to ensure that the CEO salary and those of other positions in the organization are within the market range of comparable positions at similar organizations in similar markets. Pt VI, Line 15b For current staff, including officers and key employees, but with the exception of the CEO (as described in reference above to Pt VI, line 15a), the annual performance reviews are conducted in the summer/fall following each fiscal year end. Pt VI, Line 15b At that time, managers determine compensation increases for staff based on merit and the availability of funds based on the budget and corresponding organizational performance. Pt VI, Line 15b As needed, positions at Plan International USA are market Pt VI, Line 15b priced with an outside consultant to determine if the pay ranges for each job are in line with those in other like positions in similar geographic locations. When changes to the job descriptions are made, Human Resources staff have a process for determining the grade level and salary. For instances where the compensation for the position is in question, Human Resources has an external compensation specialist to consult. Pt VI, Line 15b Documentation is kept regarding each employee's salary. Officers and key employees are reviewed by the CEO and any salary changes for officers and key employees are approved by the CEO. Pt VI, Line 19 Plan International USA's audited financial statements are made available publicly on our website at: www.planusa.org and also on other websites such as Guidestar.

Other PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS Other Plan International USA, Inc. (Plan) is the U.S. member organization of Plan International Inc. (PII), along with 21 other member offices around the world. Plan implements the vast majority of its international activities through PII, which is also a non-profit organization registered in the U.S. Plan has been working for more than 80 years to break the cycle of poverty. Today, we support children, youth, families, and communities in more than 50 countries across Africa, Asia, and the Americas to strengthen the health, knowledge, and resilience of millions of children, which results in lasting change for families, communities, and ultimately, nations. Other We focus on ensuring that children, particularly girls - who are often the most marginalized - receive the education and protection to which they have a right, and that they are not excluded from services or decision-making. This means addressing gender challenges, the preponderance of which affect girls and young women. We carry out our work by partnering with communities, local and national governments, and civil society organizations. We are independent, with no religious, political, or governmental affiliations. Other Plan's Commitment to Gender Equality Other Plan is committed to ensuring and promoting gender equality in every aspect of who we are and how we work. Over the past decade we have worked to address gender inequality in our offices and staffing, partnerships, communications and marketing, advocacy and campaigns, and, of course, programming. In 2017 PII adopted a "Global Policy on Gender Equality and Inclusion," which provides a framework through 2022 to bring about gender-transformative changes so that 100 million girls and young women can learn, lead, decide, and thrive. Plan is a key partner in implementing this ambitious strategy, which is inextricably linked to efforts to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Other A. PROGRAM AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT Other Program and Technical Support Funding of $44,938,762 (for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019) represents funds received by Plan from sponsors, donors, and other entities (such as the U.S. government, corporations, foundations, etc.), $7,012,368 of which was used on programmatic activities conducted directly by Plan, and $37,926,394 of which more than 97% percent was transferred to PII and combined with the funding received from the other 21 member offices around the world. The combined funds are then used to support field programs in more than 55,000 communities in more than 50 developing countries. Plan's field programs are focused on the following five core areas described below: Other 1. EDUCATION Other Plan's goal: Children and youth will realize their right to quality education. Other Education is one of the most powerful tools available to ensure children are able to fulfill their potential. Every child has the right to education, but many are excluded because of poverty, gender, disability, geographical remoteness, language, or cultural barriers. Other We work to promote free, equal access to quality education for all children. We promote child-friendly learning environments; develop teaching skills and teaching materials; provide training to government staff; and work closely with parents and communities to enable them to support their children's learning at home, in school, and in the wider community. Through our engagements, we encourage young people and critical community stakeholders to be advocates for the change they desire. Other We work with national and local governments to help improve the laws and public policy on education, and we take part in local, national, and international campaigns to support quality education for all. Other In fiscal year 2019, Plan's expenditures in education totaled approximately $6,347,589, with $5,185,534 transferred to PII for our overseas programs. Examples of Plan's FY19 projects in this area include: Tusome Pamoja, Lecture Pour Tous, and Early Grade Reading Program. Other Tusome Pamoja (Let's Read Together): Other Tusome Pamoja is a five-year early grade reading program funded by United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) that supports improved learning outcomes (reading, writing, and arithmetic) in four regions of Tanzania (Iringa, Morogoro, Mtwara, and Ruvuma) and 11 districts of Zanzibar. Through a $6.6 million subcontract, Plan is working with RTI to reach an estimated 853,150 pupils across grades 1 through 4 in 3,041 schools this year. Plan engages parents and community members to increase their understanding of the importance of reading through parent support groups and the provision of tools to reinforce at-home learning. To increase school accountability and promote parent involvement in schools, Plan also works with these stakeholders to implement community scorecards as a tool for tracking school progress and student academic achievement. Other More than 40,000 boys and girls have benefited from interventions, making significant gains in basic reading skills and school enrollment, particularly for girls. Other Lecture Pour Tous (All Children Reading): Other Lecture Pour Tous is a five-year early grade reading program funded by USAID and implemented by Chemonics in support of the Ministry-led National Reading Program in Senegal. The program aims to greatly improve reading skills for students in grades 1 through 3. As a lead subcontractor, Plan's $4.43 million initiative is implementing a comprehensive parent and community engagement program in six regions of Senegal that uses innovative social behavior change communication (SBCC) strategies to increase parent demand for quality reading instruction in schools. Targeted training programs and awareness-raising through local radio and school management committees provides parents with the skills to effectively support their children at home as they learn to read. Other Working through partnerships with local community-based organizations, schools, and government partners, Plan supports communities as key drivers of change. Together, these key stakeholders implement interactive, child-centered activities, such as summer reading camps and parent learning circles, designed to complement the program's broader teacher training and curriculum development components. To date, Plan has mobilized more than 65,000 community members and parents in 766 school communities in the effort to improve early grade reading outcomes. Other Early Grade Reading Program: Other The Early Grade Reading Program (EGRP) in Nepal is a USAID-funded, multi-stakeholder, country-wide education program that is working to directly assist the Government of Nepal, schools, community actors, and parents in supporting the education of their children. This takes place through community groups, new tools for engagement, and increased support to traditional forms of educational practice. The primary goals of the program are directly aimed at children themselves, as well as the supportive systems that are responsible for their education. The program aims to improve children's reading in grades 1-3 and strengthen the Government of Nepal's capacity to deliver these services across 16 districts of the country. Other Plan, as a partner to RTI, is operating a $2.7 million activity plan that is strategically engaging, educating, and empowering parents around the role they can and should play in their children's education. Understanding the vital importance of creating sustainable interventions, Plan is supporting strategic partnerships between parents and schools. Plan is assisting parents in the creation of supplementary reading materials; hosting of after-school reading clubs; improving the home learning environment by creating reading spaces and enhancing the print-rich nature of their houses; increasing the supportive dialogue among parents through peer-to-peer training; helping guide schools in planning for the allocations under their School Improvement Plans; and ensuring further participation of parents and communities in the direction and management of schools. This year Plan has reached more than 120,000 community members, local government representatives, and parents through leadership and advocacy workshops, peer education trainings, and other school based initiatives. Other 2. HEALTH Other Plan's goal: Engaging young people, their peers, families, households and communities so that they have the knowledge, skills, and capacity to thrive. Adolescents and young people will realize their right to sexual and reproductive health, including HIV prevention, care, and treatment. Other Plan supports a range of programs that reduces morbidity and mortality by strengthening individual families, households and communities. These interventions include initiatives to prevent and combat specific avoidable childhood illnesses, as well as efforts to strengthen community health systems and positively impact health-seeking behavior. Other Our integrated approach to health intersects with work to promote good nutrition, early child development, and early education, while providing support for parents and caregivers. We work with our partners to help mothers, children, and young people access quality primary health care and social services. We also support quality, age-appropriate sexual and reproductive health education and services for adolescents and young people. We challenge the beliefs and attitudes that maintain inequality between the sexes. We also advocate for more effective policies and actions that respect and protect the rights of children, adolescents, and young people living in a world with HIV. These include the right to be protected from HIV and, for those affected, to receive care and support. This work includes building the capacity of household members caring for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. In FY19, Plan International USA's expenditures for health totaled approximately $18,018,797, $15,398,668 of which was transferred to PII. Examples of Plan's FY19 projects in this area include: Nilinde: Support for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Nairobi and Coast Counties of Kenya; Health Systems Strengthening; and Comprehensive Coordinated Care for Children. Other Nilinde: Support for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Nairobi and Coast Counties of Kenya: Other Plan International USA's largest project when it was awarded in 2015 with a five-year ceiling of $41,005,731 this project was adjusted to a four-year $38,361,977 total during FY19. Funded by USAID, Plan led the project through a consortium that, in FY19, included Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT), Childline Kenya, and mothers2mothers (m2m). The project, known locally as "Nilinde," meaning "Protect Me" in Swahili, works to support at-risk children in Kenya by focusing on improving the welfare and protection of the most vulnerable households affected by HIV in Nairobi and Coast Counties. Other Nilinde worked with local partner organizations to increase household resiliency and empower parents and caregivers to make investments to improve the health and well-being of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). Working at both local and national levels, Nilinde aimed to increase access to health and social services and support government efforts at strengthening child welfare and protection systems. Nilinde's holistic case management approach connected health, nutrition, HIV services, psychosocial support, and education to economic strengthening services designed to graduate families out of program support by developing their ability to grow and sustain their assets, income, and skills. In Nairobi County, the project focused on informal settlements where the majority of OVC reside. In Coast County, the project worked in both informal settlements in urban areas and in rural areas where larger OVC populations live. Other In FY19, USAID Kenya chose to shorten the project for budgetary and new strategic reasons. Over the course of four years, Nilinde reached a total of 183,547 children with essential services to keep them healthy, safe, stable and schooled. This represented support to more than 75,000 households in Kilifi, Kwale, Lamu, Mombasa, Nairobi and Taita Taveta counties. In this final year, the number served peaked at 148,793 children. Using a differentiated service and household graduation approach, Nilinde supported 24,582 highly vulnerable households to engage in simple table banking approaches to help them cover basic costs, while an additional 26,302 households at all levels of vulnerability engaged in village savings and loan groups. This year, the project further strengthened its focus on ensuring that children at risk of HIV infection received HIV testing services and, in the case of those children living with HIV, were linked to care and treatment, with close follow-up and support from community case workers. This focus enabled 91 percent of caregivers to know the HIV status of the child in their care (with risk screening protocols for HIV testing applied) and 100 percent of the 4,780 children living with HIV to be on anti-retroviral therapy with approximately 96 percent of them having achieved viral load suppression. Nilinde continued to work with governmental and non-governmental partners to strengthen capacities for using data for decision-making and improving quality services to OVC during this final year as well. Other Health Systems Strengthening: Other The USAID-funded Health Systems Strengthening project (HSS+) aims to improve the performance of the health system in Senegal by alleviating barriers to quality health services. The project is implemented by Abt Associates and includes World Vision and Plan as the two community engagement subrecipient organizations. The project started in 2016 and will last for five years. Plan's budget over this time frame is $2 million. HSS+ involves strengthening local-level governance geared towards reducing maternal morbidity and mortality, and contributes to the USAID/Senegal Health Program (2016-2021) goal to improve the health status of the Senegalese population. Other As one of the partners on the community engagement component, Plan focuses on the key expected result of strengthening community involvement in the management of health systems. This includes 1) increased awareness and community involvement in activities to promote health and enhance the continuity of health care; 2) increased use of community funding mechanisms; and 3) strengthened capacity of the structures of local government to improve health care in response to community needs. In addition, Plan supports implementation at the department, commune, and community levels and the development of community-based health insurance plans. Plan is focused on metropolitan Dakar, Kaolack (Nioro du Rip), Louga, and Thies. Other Coordinating Comprehensive Care for Children: Other Under the Coordinating Comprehensive Care for Children (4Children) project, which is led by Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and funded by USAID, Plan works to increase the availability of, access to, and uptake of specialized evidence-based services for OVC under 5 years and to provide adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) with high-quality case management, household economic strengthening, and other evidence-based services within the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) OVC portfolio. The project started in 2014 and costs totaled $562,849 over five years. Other In 4Children Haiti, Plan focuses on ensuring that vulnerable AGYW have increased access to comprehensive evidence-based and age-appropriate services in four districts. The program has two overall objectives, with Plan focusing primarily on one: adolescent girls and young women at risk of acquiring HIV infection having increased access to comprehensive evidence-based, age-appropriate services in accordance with the U.S. Government's Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe (DREAMS) initiative guidance and standards in four DREAMS target arrondissements (arrondissements are districts within Haiti). As part of this objective, Plan brings its expertise in youth mobilization through support for safe spaces, or DREAMS hubs. DREAMS hubs are youth-friendly spaces for adolescent girls through which all DREAMS services are delivered. Through the DREAMS hubs AGYW are able to build positive social connections, receive reinforcing support and mentoring, participate in social asset building activities, and learn about HIV and violence prevention. DREAMS mentors lead activities in the hubs - which are also open to adolescent boys and young men during designated hours. Other 3. DISASTER & CONFLICT Other Plan's goal: Children and youth grow up in resilient communities and realize their rights in safety and with dignity before, during, and after disasters and conflicts. Other In times of disaster, children are particularly vulnerable. Separation from families and friends causes uncertainty, anxiety, and shock, with a significant impact on children's emotional well-being. Our initial disaster response work focuses on children's urgent needs, such as shelter, food, and water. We also prioritize child protection and education to help re-establish a sense of security and normalcy. An important part of our response involves developing child-friendly spaces that help protect children from harm and exploitation, and aid emotional healing. In addition to emergency response work, Plan works with communities to help them prepare for and reduce the risk of emergency events. Across the globe, Plan also works extensively with forcibly displaced populations, including refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Other Our goal is to support children and youth, their communities, and their societies to develop resilience, enabling them to better absorb external shocks and continue forward with their personal and community development. Toward that end, we also seek to address the social inequities and governance challenges that marginalize segments of the population and prevent them from developing resilience. Other Plan's expenditures on disasters in FY19 totaled approximately $6,884,873, $5,626,889 was transferred to PII. Examples of Plan's FY19 projects in this area include: Marawi Response Project (MRP); Central African Republic Tracing and Reunification III; and Provision of Integrated Child Protection Education and Youth Empowerment Services to South Sudanese Refugees in Gambella. Other Marawi Response Project ("MRP"): Other This three-year, $25 million USAID-funded project is strengthening the self-reliance of IDPs and host community members affected by the 2017 Marawi siege in the Philippines. MRP is working on the inter-related areas of improved economic conditions and strengthened social cohesion of IDPs and host community members. MRP is providing direct assistance to businesspersons and communities in the form of in-kind grants to enable them to re-start economic activities, and training in skills that will make both young and adult IDPs and host community members ready for employment. MRP also includes activities that will increase access to local and regional markets. During FY19, MRP approved the first 55 Business Recovery Grants. Other Working with two local partner organizations, MRP facilitated the establishment of Community Solidarity Groups to forge closer bonds between IDPs and host community members and to develop and implement community improvement grants through the project. MRP is scheduled to run through August 28, 2021. Other Central African Republic Tracing and Reunification III: Other Building on two successful previous iterations, this 15-month, $1,935,000 USAID-funded project began in September 2018 and will continue through January 2020. It is supporting the identification, documentation, interim care, tracing, reunification, and reintegration of unaccompanied and separated children (UASC), including Children Formerly Associated with Armed Forces and Armed Groups (former CAAFAG), in the Prefectures of Nana-Gribizi and Upper Kotto (Bria). In addition, the project is also addressing serious malnutrition problems affecting children in its implementation areas. Community volunteers have been trained and are carrying out screening, referral of malnutrition cases for treatment, and cooking demonstration activities in the target communities and sites of the displaced. During FY19, the project reached approximately 4,900 beneficiaries, including 3,765 IDPs. Plan identified, registered, and documented 149 vulnerable children, which included 68 girls as well as UASC and CAAFAG, and provided them with case management, referral services, and support with temporary host families. Plan trained 124 temporary host families and supported these families with food and non-food items throughout the project period. The UASC placed with the temporary host families were provided with family reunification casework, and the CAAFAG placed with temporary host families for vocational training also returned to their homes after the training. During the project period, Plan undertook tracing and reunification services for 46 UASC and former CAAFAG. Through this process, the project provided life-saving assistance to vulnerable young people, helping break the cycle of violence in the Central African Republic. In order to support continued work in tracing and reunification of cases, Plan trained community child protection networks in project areas and provided training on this process to these entities and local government partners. Other Provision of integrated child protection, education, and youth empowerment services to South Sudanese refugees in Gambella: Other Through this State Department Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration-funded, 12-month, $1.5 million project, Plan provided comprehensive child protection and education support for refugee girls, boys, adolescents, and youth in Kule, Pugnido II, and Nguenyyiel refugee camps. The funding from PRM supported psychosocial support (PSS) and case management services for children at 14 child-friendly spaces (CFSs) and in the community. Through the project Plan also implemented youth activities at five youth-friendly spaces and provided educational services at five primary schools and 14 early childhood care and development (ECCD) centers. During the project's period of performance, capacity building trainings and learning sessions were conducted for incentive workers, youth, and different community structure volunteers. Construction and renovation of new and existing learning centers and friendly spaces was completed and will continue under additional PRM funding. Other Through this project, Plan directly reached 3,527 children through services provided in primary schools, ECCD centers, and CFSs. During the life of the project approximately 27,713 individuals were provided with CFS and PSS services. Additionally, 1,292 children entered foster care arrangements, and 3,406 children received non-food items. In total, 16,189 children enrolled in school and 19,674 youth and adolescents received youth-friendly services. In addition, 22,530 community members were reached through awareness-raising events in both locations, and 1,216 individuals were trained on different topics such as child protection, education in emergencies, youth, and ECCD programs in all of the targeted refugee camps. Other In light of the project's success, the State Department Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration awarded Plan a July 2019 follow-on project to address the continuing need for education and child protection among refugee and host community populations in Gambella. Other 4. PROTECTION Other Plan's goal: Providing a safe place for children to live and grow to their full potential. Other Plan works to ensure that all children are safe and protected from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence and that children who do experience violence have access to child friendly services. Plan recognizes that protection needs and challenges may vary according to a child's gender, age, and maturity and appropriately tailors programming to address such differences. We provide services designed to prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation of children and to help survivors recover. We campaign for and promote adequate legal protection to strengthen child protection systems and work alongside families and communities to strengthen protective practices and influence harmful social norms that drive violence against children. In addition, we raise public awareness of, and respect for, the right of all children to protection, and we help young people access the skills and knowledge that will enable them to protect themselves. Other Expenditures from Plan in this area totaled approximately $5,193,091 for FY19, $4,387,271 of which was transferred to PII. An example of Plan's FY19 work in this area is the Missing Child Alert/PROTECT project. Other Missing Child Alert/PROTECT: Other The Prevention, Tracking, Education and Transformation (PROTECT) project is a $5 million, 5-year initiative across Nepal, Bangladesh, and India to strengthen prevention mechanisms against child trafficking; improve repatriation processes; and support survivors of trafficking to reintegrate safely into their families and communities. PROTECT is working with parents, village protection committees, border agents, governments, and children themselves to create awareness and knowledge of trafficking risks, increase economic security for at-risk families, and expedite safe repatriation through strengthening cross-boarder systems. Through PROTECT, all stakeholders will be equipped to act through curricula that address harmful social norms and build job skills to increase economic security. These curricula are tailored to each specific country context and include Choose Your Future, Sticks and Stones, Village-Level Child Protection Training, Village Savings and Loan (VSLA), and Social Behavior Change Campaigns. Other In combination with building the capacity of key actors, PROTECT is also working to equip governments and non-state actors through technology. The Repatriation Information Management System (RIMS) is an innovative platform designed to reduce the time it takes to repatriate a survivor of trafficking back to their country of origin and improve reintegration services at home. The system, implemented by government approved civil society organizations, ensures key information can be transferred to receiving agencies, and the proper procedures, documentation, and approvals are implemented and digitized for safer and more expedited repatriation. Other With the protection of children being the responsibility of all actors - from the child, family, and community, to wider protection systems - Plan's program is working with gatekeepers to utilize different approaches to strengthen the protective environment around children, prevent trafficking, and safely repatriate and reintegrate survivors. Other 5. YOUTH AND ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT Other Plan's goal: Young adolescents and youth will live in communities that value their participation and provide opportunities for their leadership and economic empowerment. Other Plan currently works with youth in more than 70 countries around the world. Through Plan's community-based, gender sensitive approach, our programs engage marginalized youth to build their productive assets and prepare them with appropriate skills to manage their transition to work and adulthood. Our holistic programming targets very young adolescents (10-14), adolescents (15-19), and youth (20-29). Other Plan expended approximately $8,494,412 on youth and economic empowerment in FY19, $6,261,046 of which was transferred to PII. Examples of Plan's FY19 projects in this area include Fostering Accountability in Recruitment for Fishery Workers, Hawassa Workers Wellness Alliance, and Connections to Success. Other Fostering Accountability in Recruitment for Fishery Workers: Other Fostering Accountability in Recruitment for Fishery Workers (FAIR Fish) is a Department of Labor-funded program through the Bureau of International Labor Affairs. The project award is for $4 million from 2018-2022 and is implemented in Thailand. Other Getting a job is fundamental to youth economic empowerment. Equally important is making sure that labor rights are respected once young people are employed. Plan's FAIR Fish project focuses on the reduction of forced labor and human trafficking of women and men in Thailand's seafood processing sector. This project targets labor exploitation that happens during the recruitment of migrant workers by developing a responsible recruitment model that is both affordable and effective to implement by small and medium-sized seafood processing businesses. A recruitment model tailored for small companies is critical, because most of the companies in the targeted sector employ fewer than 150 people, and 90 percent of Thai seafood companies are small and medium-sized companies. The model will be tested with two pilot company partners and their third-party recruiters. Lessons learned will be shared and promoted with other small and medium-sized enterprises. Other Hawassa Workers Wellness Alliance: Other This $3.25 million project is funded by USAID and the Phillips Van Heusen Corporation (PVH) from 2019-2021 in Ethiopia. Other Large industrial parks employing tens of thousands of workers are a completely new phenomenon for Ethiopia, the host communities, and the workers themselves. To help all stakeholders benefit from industrial parks, the Hawassa Workers Wellness Alliance was created as a public-private partnership to provide a platform for worker, community, government, and private sector engagement. The Alliance focuses on outside-the-park initiatives aimed at fostering stable, resilient, and prosperous communities. The Alliance will introduce a set of interventions with the goals of supporting the smoother arrival and integration of workers into Hawassa Industrial Park and increasing the ability of host communities to economically benefit from the growing population and expanding industrial base. The aim is to increase performance of local businesses; reduce worker attrition at the park; and build a sustainable program that truly responds to the interests of workers, the community, the Government of Ethiopia, and the Hawassa Industrial Park companies. Together, the Alliance will seek solutions to improve the community's services and ultimately reduce new worker turnover at the park. Other Connections to Success: Other Connections to Success is a $3 million project in Guatemala funded by individual donors. The project will run from 2019-2022. To address the lack of economic opportunities for youth in key regions of Guatemala and the challenges that young people from the rural areas of Jalapa, El Quiche, and Alta Verapaz departments are facing to enter the workforce and generate income, Plan International is implementing Connections to Success with the goal of increasing the number of young people, especially young women, with opportunities to access decent work or develop a business that will enable them to attain economic stability, prevent migration, and eliminate involvement in gangs or organized crime. Other By using a "learning by doing" approach, the project is developing and/or adapting training materials for the target population in each geographic area to ensure that all participants are able to actively participate, regardless of educational ability. Other The project has a strong innovation approach in the area through the following strategies: Other (1)Plan will replicate the current mobile technology lab in Carcha called Nomada, which is a Samsung-equipped portable car, with technology at the community level.(2) Work through technology centers to support the delivery of the training curriculum in three municipalities with the support of the local government.(3) Creation of new training modules including financial literacy. The project will partner with a business accelerator advisor to link successful entrepreneurs to social impact investing and identify market opportunities.(4) Develop a technological platform to foster networking, access new employment vacancies, and enable market research to trade the entrepreneur's products or services based on the Training Employment Support Service Assistant (TESSA), a digital ecosystem designed by Plan International Asia. Other B. BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS Other As part of our mission, we promote learning and understanding between people of different countries and cultures. Our child sponsorship program - through which a sponsor in the U.S. is linked with a child in need - encourages children and sponsors to exchange letters, cards, and photographs as a way to better understand each other's cultures. Through our website and sponsor communications, we frequently urge sponsors to send email communications and letters to their sponsored children. These cross-cultural exchanges provide the foundation for the sponsor/child relationship. Other Plan also provides various communications to sponsors throughout the year. Sponsors are introduced to their children through initial materials in their Sponsorship Guide. The "Sponsored Child Introduction" provides information on the child and his or her family. This background information is accompanied by an "Area Overview" that provides information relevant to activities, programs, and projects in the sponsored child's program area and country. Our annual "Sponsored Child Update" also details activities, programs, and projects within a child's program area and country. This update is accompanied by new photographs of the sponsored child and his or her family members. Other Building relationships is a reciprocal process, and we frequently encourage two-way communications. We contact all new sponsors to welcome them to Plan and encourage them to write to their sponsored children. To support sponsors in writing to their sponsored children consistently, we provide turn-around stationery several times throughout the year. In addition, we remind sponsors of their children's upcoming birthdays and encourage them to send birthday greetings. Other During the year ending June 30, 2019, there were more than 120,600 instances of communications between sponsors, sponsored children and families, and the child's local Plan office. These communications are processed through a centralized communications and mail area at the Plan International USA office in Warwick, RI. The cost of $800,042 associated with cross-cultural exchanges is known as "Building Relationships." Other C. DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY Other To further our mission, Plan conducts educational outreach programs in the U.S. with youth, educators, donors, sponsors, and the public about issues affecting children - particularly girls - and families in the developing world and where relevant, here at home. Development Education programs enhance the public's understanding of the causes and conditions of poverty in developing countries and the role that Plan has in addressing barriers to girls' and children's ability to lead, learn, decide and thrive. Development Education is one of the key tools Plan uses to strengthen relationships with and between individual children, adults, groups, organizations, and institutions. We provide messages to specific audiences as well as the general public through country and practice area technical briefs, website updates, monthly e-newsletters, brand awareness campaigns and social media posts, among other media. Youth group activities and speaking engagements by staff also play a key role in the delivery of Plan's messages. Regular meetings between CEOs and senior staff of organizations with similar missions help to give all of us a stronger voice. Other In FY19, Plan released research findings that examined U.S. adolescents' views, and influences that shape those views, of gender equality. The research included a survey that was designed through collaboration with PerryUndem, a non-partisan research organization, and M+R, a public relations firm. The results were broadly shared and promoted in FY19 via in-person youth gatherings, as well as widespread media coverage. In gaining a deeper understanding of young people's views on gender equality, Plan is better positioned to address the systemic causes and influencing factors that drive those views and publicly advocate for impactful change. Other Plan's domestic youth engagement programming includes a number of initiatives designed to engage U.S. youth in both the governance of the organization and as advocates for issues affecting youth, in particular girls, around the world. The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is a group of high school and college-age youth who serve as a resource to organizational decision makers, to reinforce our mission of working both for and with children and young people. Roles and responsibilities include participating in discussions regarding strategic priorities, budgeting, and program design, while also developing connections and partnerships with Plan's global YAB network. In addition, Plan runs an annual residential summer leadership summit called the Youth Leadership Academy (YLA). The YLA aims to build the capacity of high school youth in leadership, advocacy, and civic engagement, while increasing knowledge about the world's most pressing development issues. Other Additionally, Plan fosters policy change in two main focus areas: global gender equality and increasing the effectiveness of U.S. foreign assistance. As co-chair of the Big Ideas for Women and Girls Coalition and the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network (MFAN), Plan is playing a leadership role in civil society coalitions advocating for change on these issues. Plan also works through a number of membership groups that span the international development sector, including the Society for International Development (SID), U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC), and InterAction. Through a series of policy events and private meetings, Plan has brought the voices and perspectives of young female advocates and other experts to decision makers and influencers on Capitol Hill, at the National Security Council, the State Department, USAID, and the wider development community. Other Plan's strategic partnerships are another important element of our efforts to increase awareness about challenges in the developing world, especially around gender inequality. By linking Plan's mission with household companies and brands, our reach increases exponentially. In 2018, Plan and Viacom International officially marked a new era of our partnership by launching a gender equality campaign with the title #XQUNAMUJER with the Comedy Central brand. The co-branded campaign was designed to use the power of comedy to promote gender equality, women's rights, and inclusion throughout Latin America. The collaboration consisted of social media and six public service announcements (PSAs) airing on television and on a free mobile application, Comedy Central Play, more than 2,100 times. Each PSA starred well-known comedians from Comedy Central Latin America who came together to celebrate women and their achievements, combat machismo, and use humor to generate conversation about this important topic. The on-air PSA campaign reached 27 million households across Latin America while associated digital messaging garnered more than 4 million impressions, with an additional 200,000+ social media impressions and 20,000+ reached through the press. Other Plan and Viacom are already in the midst of another collaboration, this time with the MTV brand. This bold new campaign is meant to raise awareness on gender equality issues in sports, and get youth engaged online in support of Plan's call to action. The campaign targets youth (ages 16-24) across 80 million households between the U.S. (Hispanic diaspora) and Latin America and the Caribbean. The impact of the campaign will be part of our FY20 reporting. Other International Day of the Girl 2018 saw record engagement around the world. In the U.S., Plan's youth ambassadors "took over" roles of powerful women and men in corporate America, conveying yet again that girls deserve a seat at the table and that #GirlsBelongHere. In partnership with The Female Quotient (TFQ), Plan held takeovers at high profile companies such as Google, Facebook, NBCUniversal, Spotify, and Nickelodeon. While each takeover was unique, their common thread was a mission to place girls in positions of power. Thanks to our partners at Clear Channel, empowering messages from each takeover were showcased on digital billboards in NYC's Times Square, amplifying Plan's message that girls belong anywhere and everywhere they want to be. Plan's partnership with TFQ also provided a venue for Plan staff, Youth Advisory Board, and ambassadors, like MSNBC's Richard Lui, to share Plan's girls-focused work around the world on high-profile panels at AdWeek in New York City. Other Finally, our partnership with TFQ afforded Plan space to host our inaugural Youth Gathering as well. The event brought together 22 young women from a variety of local organizations to discuss Plan's youth gender survey results. Participants engaged around issues like gender biases, representation in the media, challenging gender norms in today's society, and beyond. Thanks to our partners at Nickelodeon, a similar Gathering for 23 young women was held in Los Angeles alongside the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. Other For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the total Development Education and Advocacy expenses were $1,815,758. During FY19, Plan International USA initiated more than 1,545,000 mailed or emailed communications, to help educate our donors and partners and also participated in various presentations, activities, and forums.
