Capture, analysis and production of information Knowledge Management Area 2

The fiscal year 2018 (FY18) was a transition period for us in Fundación PLAN because of several reasons.

First of all, PLAN International designed a new global strategy called “100 million reasons” which drove us to design our country strategy called “16 million reasons, 16 million opportunities”. In second place, we are aware that in order to amplify our impact we must innovate, develop more and better alliances, strengthen our teamwork and seek to have a new and sustainable financing model. Finally, we assume our commitment to the new 2030 Development Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals-SDG, so that our projects and influencing actions are aligned with these Objectives, particularly those with the 5 SDG of Gender Equality and SDG 16 on Peace, Justice and Solid Institutions.

Our new strategy 16 million reasons, 16 million opportunities is a novel and challenging bet. Innovative because we believe that in order to build a more just world, the emphasis of the actions should be on girls, an emphasis that is reflected in all of PLAN's social value proposal, and challenging because it seeks to expand the scale and magnitude of our work towards girls. 16 million reasons, 16 million opportunities implies that PLAN year after year seeks to reach 4.3 million children, their families and communities so that they may : strengthen their talents, : their voice is more heard, so that girls have control over their lives and bodies and so that they grow without violence and fear.

To achieve these results is to incorporate the gender transformative approach in our programs and influence, and to promote together, with our allies and in all contexts, as mentioned in our Global Theory of Change, norms, attitudes and behaviors; social and economic assets and safety nets; policy frameworks and budgets that promote lasting impact.

This report shows the results of Fundación PLAN at the level of coverage and the contributions to the transformations from the perspective of the Global Theory of Change by impact area, result area, area of global distinctiveness (AoGD), level of theory of change and SDG in the implementation of the country strategy 16 million reasons, 16 million opportunities, throughout the FY18.

Since the implementation of the Country Strategy began, we set out to inform our results beyond coverage, which in itself is important. Our goal was to be able to inform from different perspectives: by areas of impact, of result, of global distinctiveness, dimensions of the Theory of Change or by SDG; the magnitude of our work; and, based on the results framework and indicators built for the strategy, inform the main transformations achieved from the Contribution Indexes designed.

In Fundación PLAN, we have a Project Monitoring System “45 grados”1 version 2.0, that allows us to know with certainty how many people participate in our projects disaggregated by sex, age, territory, life cycle, disability and ethnicity, avoiding double counting. Each of the sessions of the activities in each project are associated with one or more global output codes, which allows us to know for each session-activity-project: the areas of sub-impact, impact, result, global distinctiveness, the dimensions of Theory of Change and the SDGs to which they are associated. In this way all the information you browse in 45 grados, is associated with any of these forms of analysis necessary to understand how our Country Strategy evolves.

To inform beyond our scale we have designed contribution indexes for each of the impact areas. An index is a measure of quantitative performance built from several indicators of the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework that measures the contribution of 16 million reasons, 16 million opportunities to the areas of impact, result or global distinctiveness from the dimensions of change of the Global Theory of Change; the closer it is to 100 means greater progress in the dimensions of change.

Steps that we follow: To present these results we have traveled a path that we share with the aim of promoting organizational learning and the exchange of experiences: 1.

Making use of the output codes, where each sub-impact area is associated to four codes according to the level of expected changes: 1. norms, attitudes and behaviors; 2. social, economic, family and community resources; 3. provision of public services and 4. legislation, public policy and budgets; in Fundaciรณn PLAN, from linking all actions of programs, projects and influence, we have calculated our results according to each of these four dimensions.

Our main results of coverage by level of Theory of Change are:

118.723 beneficiaries.

24% of the total.

272.048 beneficiaries.

55% of the total.

55% of the beneficiaries participated in actions aimed at promoting the change of norms, attitudes and behaviors; 24% in actions related to changes in social, economic, family and community resources; 20% in actions oriented to changes in the provision of public services and 1% in changes related to legislation, public policy and budgets.

105.635 beneficiaries.

21% of the total.

From a project perspective, out of the 24 projects executed during FY18, 76% had actions to promote changes in norms, attitudes and behaviors; 36% in social, economic and family resources; 12% in the provision of public services and 4% in actions that promote and promote changes in legislation, public policy and budgets.

22

From a territorial perspective, actions by territory were concentrated in this way:

23

In our M&E System 45 grados, all projects, results, indicators, activities and sessions are associated with the SDGs to which they contribute. In this way we calculate the number of people who participated in activities that contribute to a specific SDG. In Fundaciรณn PLAN we have prioritized in particular to follow up on our work with SDGs 5 and 16. Following are the results of coverage by SDG and particularly by the prioritized ones.

The previous infographic means, for example, that 41% of the beneficiaries of FY18, that is 205,511, participated in actions related to SDG 4-Quality Education, while 40% of the total beneficiaries participated in actions related to SDG 5-Gender equality.

For the two prioritized SDGs, 5 and 16, our results are the following:
