Adolescent Family Life Program

Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • The program lacked strategic planning. Without a strategic plan to guide grant-making efforts, the program was unable to demonstrate results.
  • The program is unable to assess its impact on reducing adolescent pregnancy and lessening the effects of too-early-childbearing. Data is not available to measure program results.
  • The abstinence grants are similar to those awarded by the Community Based Abstinence Education program in purpose, methods, and targeted beneficiaries. For example, they both provide abstinence education to adolescents.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Developing baselines and targets related to postponing early sexual activity and lessening the effects of too early childbearing based on data collected from core instruments by spring 2008.
  • Reviewing similarities between this program and the Community Based Abstinence Education program and working to reduce redundancy between the two programs by fall 2007.
  • Providing targeted and constructive feedback to AFL grantees regarding their 2007 end of year program and evaluation reports by spring 2008.
