SEC. 105. INCREASING EFFECTIVENESS OF ANTI-TRAF-
FICKING PROGRAMS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) United States assistance programs require 
enhanced monitoring and evaluation to ensure that 
United States funds are appropriately spent. 
(2) Such monitoring and evaluation should 
measure results—the actual effects of assistance—as 
well as outcomes—the numerical product of assist-
ance, such as the number of individuals assisted, 
systems established, and funds provided through 
programs. 
(3) While the results of programs related to 
trafficking in persons may be difficult to measure 
because of the criminal and underground nature of 
trafficking in persons, making efforts to measure 
such results are critical to learning the extent to 
which United States assistance programs affect the 
nature and severity of trafficking and change the 
fundamental conditions that facilitate trafficking.
