OWEB describes FIP progress tracking, strategic action plans and longer-term monitoring
Summary
Staff explained Focused Investment Partnership (FIP) progress tracking reports that link a partnership's theory of change to quantified near- and long-term outcomes, noted strategic action plans are required in FIP applications and discussed post-FIP reporting and retrospective study options.
Audrey Hatch explained that FIP progress-tracking reports are produced each biennium to document implementation against a partnership's theory of change, and that the reports show cumulative accomplishments, adaptive management actions and quantified outcomes over time. She said the reports are intended for partners, legislators and the board and are published on OWEB's website.
On strategic action plans, staff said these plans are a required part of FIP applications and that guidance documents (developed with partner organizations such as the Bonneville Environmental Foundation) are available to inform plan development. Audrey noted FIP funding spans six years but outcomes and monitoring timeframes commonly extend beyond that funding window; staff pointed to an effort to produce post-FIP reports and suggested the committee could examine retrospective analyses in future meetings.
