Field Office Target Impact Evaluation System

The Field Office Target Impact Evaluation System (FOTIE) is yet another evaluation tool used by PLAN to measure the effectiveness of its programs and field offices. The FOTIE system was designed to facilitate the assessment of performance, impact, and potential sustainability of programs, goals, and objectives at specific field offices. The instrument used was a questionnaire intended to collect data about foster families, including household size, possessions, and composition, education and literacy, nutrition and immunization of children, the families' ownership of land and animals, and their access to credit. Because FOTIE proved to be an unwieldy system, it was only used in a relatively few field offices.

The records in this series document the attempt to implement the FOTIE system and include correspondence, memos, surveys, questionnaires, reports, implementation instructions and guidelines, and raw survey data. The records are divided into two sub-series, Subject Files and Program Countries.

The Subject Files document the administration of FOTIE and are arranged alphabetically by subject or type of record and chronologically within folders. The Program Countries sub-series documents the attempt to implement FOTIE in several field offices. The records are arranged alphabetically by the name of the program country and alphabetically thereunder by the name of the field office.
