(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 individuals assisted, systems estab-
lished, and funds provided through programs. 
(3) While the results of programs related to 
trafficking in person may be difficult to measure be-
cause 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 evolve. 
(b) AMENDMENT.—The Trafficking Victims Protec-
tion Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) is amended by 
inserting after section 107 the following new section: 
‘‘SEC. 107A. INCREASING EFFECTIVENESS OF ANTI-TRAF-
FICKING PROGRAMS.

MENTS, AND CONTRACTS.—The head of each department
