Pt VI, Line 11b The Form 990 is provided electronically to each member of the
Pt VI, Line 11b Plan International USA Audit Committee. The Audit Committee
Pt VI, Line 11b then meets with Plan International USA's CEO and CFO to review the
Pt VI, Line 11b Form 990 in detail. Once the 990 has been approved by the Audit
Pt VI, Line 11b Committee, it is sent electronically to the full Board of
Pt VI, Line 11b Directors for review and comment. Once the comment period is over,
Pt VI, Line 11b either the Board approves or delegates the authority to the
Pt VI, Line 11b Executive Committee of the Board to approve the Form 990.
Pt VI, Line 11b Once approved, it is filed with the IRS and posted to the
Pt VI, Line 11b Organization's website for public disclosure.
Pt VI, Line 12c On an annual basis, the officers, directors and all employees
Pt VI, Line 12c receive a copy of and review Plan International USA's Conflict
Pt VI, Line 12c of Interest disclosure questionnaire. Each of them signs that
Pt VI, Line 12c questionnaire where they must disclose any actual or
Pt VI, Line 12c potential conflicts of interest. All questionnaires with any
Pt VI, Line 12c actual or potential conflicts are then reviewed by either the
Pt VI, Line 12c Chair of the Audit Committee, Board Chair, V.P. of Human Resources
Pt VI, Line 12c or the Ethics & Compliance Officer depending on the position
Pt VI, Line 12c of the person whose questionnaire has a disclosure.
Pt VI, Line 12c Appropriate action is taken as needed. During the year, if
Pt VI, Line 12c potential conflicts arise, they must be disclosed promptly and
Pt VI, Line 12c 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
Pt VI, Line 12c of the Board meeting.
Pt VI, Line 15a Every year (typically in late summer), the Talent Management
Pt VI, Line 15a Committee of the Board ("TMC") leads the annual CEO performance
Pt VI, Line 15a review process. The TMC requests and reviews a CEO evaluation
Pt VI, Line 15a feedback form that is received from each Board member and
Pt VI, Line 15a can also include feedback from members of the Executive Team.
Pt VI, Line 15a Based on that feedback, the TMC prepares the performance
Pt VI, Line 15a review for Board approval. The discussion with the CEO is
Pt VI, Line 15a conducted by the Board Chair and the Chair of the TMC. Based
Pt VI, Line 15a on the CEO's performance against objectives and a comparison
Pt VI, Line 15a to external market factors for CEO's in similar locations
Pt VI, Line 15a and of similar sized organizations, an increase (if applicable
Pt VI, Line 15a based on the aforementioned factors) is recommended by the TMC
Pt VI, Line 15a and brought to the Board for approval typically around the time
Pt VI, Line 15a of the September Board meeting. The TMC retains documentation
Pt VI, Line 15a with respect to the process, deliberations, external data and
Pt VI, Line 15a the decisions made regarding CEO compensation. The process
Pt VI, Line 15a includes a regular review of benchmarks with periodic consultation
Pt VI, Line 15a with a compensation specialist to ensure the CEO salary and
Pt VI, Line 15a those of other positions in the organization are within the
Pt VI, Line 15a market range of comparable positions at similar organizations
Pt VI, Line 15a in similar markets.
Pt VI, Line 15b For current staff, including officers and key employees,
Pt VI, Line 15b but with the exception of the CEO (as described in reference
Pt VI, Line 15b above to Pt VI, Line 15a), the annual performance reviews
Pt VI, Line 15b are conducted in the summer/fall following each fiscal year-end.
Pt VI, Line 15b At that time, managers determine compensation increases for
Pt VI, Line 15b staff based on merit and the availability of funds based on
Pt VI, Line 15b 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
Pt VI, Line 15b for each job are in line with those in other like positions
Pt VI, Line 15b in similar geographic locations. When changes to the job
Pt VI, Line 15b descriptions are made, Human Resources staff have a process
Pt VI, Line 15b for determining the grade level and salary. For instances where
Pt VI, Line 15b the compensation for a position is in question, HR has an
Pt VI, Line 15b external compensation specialist to consult. Documentation
Pt VI, Line 15b is kept regarding each employee's salary. Officers and key
Pt VI, Line 15b employees are reviewed by the CEO and any salary changes for
Pt VI, Line 15b officers and key employees are approved by the CEO.
Pt VI, Line 19 Plan International USA's audited financial statements are made
Pt VI, Line 19 available publicly on our website at: www.planusa.org and

Other EDUCATION
Other Plan's goal: Children and youth will realize their right
Other to quality education.
Other Education is one of the most powerful tools available to
Other ensure children are able to fulfill their potential. Every
Other child has the right to education, but many are excluded
Other because of poverty, gender, disability, geographical remoteness,
Other or language or cultural barriers.

Other develop teaching skills and teaching materials; provide training
Other to government staff; and work closely with parents and communities
Other to enable them to support their children's learning at home, in
Other school, and in the wider community. Through our engagements, we
Other encourage young people and critical community stakeholders to
Other be advocates for the change they desire.
Other We work with national and local governments to help improve the
Other laws and public policy on education, and we take part in local,
Other national, and international campaigns to support quality education
Other for all.
Other In fiscal year 2017, Plan International USA's expenditures in
Other education totaled approximately $8,711,102, with $6,217,282 transferred
Other to PII for our overseas programs. Examples of Plan's FY17 projects

Other 3. DISASTER & CONFLICT
Other Plan's goal: Children and youth grow up in resilient communities
Other and realize their rights in safety and with dignity, before,
Other during, and after disasters and conflicts.
Other In times of disaster, children are particularly vulnerable.
Other Separation from families and friends causes uncertainty, anxiety,
Other and shock, with a significant impact on children's emotional
Other well-being. Our initial disaster response work focuses on
Other children's urgent needs, such as shelter, food, and water.
Other These are prioritized along with child protection and education to help
Other re-establish a sense of security and normalcy. An important
Other part of our response involves developing child-friendly spaces
Other that help protect children from harm and exploitation, and
Other aid emotional healing.
Other Our goal is to support children and youth, their communities,
Other and their societies to develop resilience enabling them to
Other better absorb external shocks and continue forward with their
Other personal and community development. Toward that end, we
Other also seek to address the social inequities and governance
Other challenges that marginalize segments of the population and
Other prevent them from developing resilience.
Other Plan International USA's expenditures on disasters in FY17 totaled
Other approximately $5,311,386; $4,920,199 was transferred to PII. Examples

Other 4. PROTECTION
Other Plan's goal: Providing a safe place for children to live and grow
Other to their full potential.
Other Plan works to ensure that all children are safe and protected
Other from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence. Plan recognizes
Other that protection needs and challenges may vary according to a child's
Other gender, and appropriately focuses its efforts and investments
Other to address such differences. We provide services designed to prevent
Other abuse, neglect, and exploitation of children and to help victims
Other recover. We campaign for and promote adequate legal protection
Other at all levels, as well as advocate for strong support within families
Other and communities. In addition, we raise public awareness of, and
Other respect for, the right of all children to protection, and we help
Other young people access the skills and knowledge that will enable
Other them to protect themselves.
Other Expenditures from Plan International USA in this area totaled
Other approximately $6,612,561 for FY17, $5,382,117 of which was transferred
Other to PII. Examples of Plan's FY17 projects in this area include:

Other Addressing Basic Human Rights in Senegal (ABRIS)
Other Completed in March 2017, the $750,000 ABRIS project was funded
Other by the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat
Other Trafficking in Persons. ABRIS sought to address trafficking and
Other exploitation of children in Senegal, particularly those attending
Other private religious institutions. While many schools offer genuine
Other religious instruction, some are physically and sexually abusive
Other and highly exploitative, forcing young children to beg for food
Other and money. Plan and its partners conducted a comprehensive study
Other of the underlying factors and the various types of trafficked
Other children and built the capacity of law enforcement, legal, and
Other health system personnel to identify and refer trafficked children.
Other In addition, Plan and its partners implemented a community campaign
Other to raise awareness of child trafficking through forced begging,
Other its causes and effects, and the proper identification and referral
Other of child victims. While the project received positive results
