SEC. 105. INCREASING EFFECTIVENESS OF ANTI-TRAF-
FICKING PROGRAMS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(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, sys-
tems established, and funds provided through pro-
grams. 
(3) While the results of programs related to traf-
ficking 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
