SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[top] Description: The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of
OTIP proposes to continue to collect information to measure grant project performance, provide technical assistance to grant recipients, assess program outcomes, inform program evaluation, respond to congressional inquiries and mandated reports, and inform policy and program development that is responsive to the needs of victims.
The information collection captures information on participant demographics ( e.g., age, sex, type of trafficking experienced, service location) and services provided, along with aggregate information on outreach activities conducted, subrecipients enrolled, and dollars spent per service. Minor nonsubstantive updates have been made to performance indicators under this collection to simplify response options or to bring the collection into alignment with OTIP's grant recipient reporting database, the Anti-Trafficking Information Management System (ATIMS).
Respondents: TVAP grant recipients and clients of those programs, specifically: TVAP and the Aspire: Child Trafficking Victim Assistance Demonstration Program funding recipients.
