Table 2 Columns:

Column (BP) lists the benchmarks for client participation in primary workshops for which ACF requires grantees to set annual targets and measure progress towards those targets. The grantee’s current grant year targets for each benchmark are presented in column (TGT). Progress towards the targets is measured based on client participation in the grant year in both completed and ongoing workshop session series, where session attendance has been fully recorded.

Columns GY1 to GY5 include the count of clients enrolled in each grant year who achieved the respective benchmark for participation in the current grant year. Columns are only shown for the current and prior grant years. For participation among those enrolled in the current grant year, the rows are measured cumulatively such that those who attended at least 100% are included in the “attended at least one” row as well.

Column (TC) is the total count of clients who achieved each benchmark in the grant year, whether the clients were enrolled in the current or prior grant years (sum of all GY columns).

Column (TGT) is the grantee-established target for the number of clients who will achieve each participation benchmark during the grant year, regardless of when they enrolled.

Column (PCT) is the percent of the target met for each participation benchmark.
