FY22 Cooperative Threat Reduction Metrics: Since 2012, CTR has funded the development of an evaluation tool to annually measure the effectiveness of its CTR programming. The CTR metrics tool is designed to assess partner country progress towards a self-sustaining, proliferation-resistant security culture that reduces the threat posed by terrorist organizations or proliferator states seeking the means by which to obtain WMD and delivery systems for the purposes of threatening the United States and related interests. For the current NOFO, CTR is seeking a new analysis of program work from June 2021 – June 2022 using this evaluation tool for programming that occurred in CTR partner countries for the above-mentioned programmatic mission areas. This analysis will provide CTR with solid empirical basis to assess CTR effectiveness, devise new initiatives where needed, and choose among different activities to meet future programmatic needs. To ensure an unbiased assessment of its programming, CTR shall only accept proposals submitted by individuals or organizations which are not currently involved in implementing nonproliferation engagement activities on behalf of CTR. Proposals should include the development of standard engagement evaluations for program implementation such as pre- and post-training survey/tests. These will encompass both qualitative examples that can be reported to interested stakeholders and quantitative format that can measure across programs and regions. This information will be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of CTR support and justify future programs.
