Results Based Accountability

Results Based Accountability (RBA) is the model used by the Ministry of Social Development to develop and measure outcomes.

A key attraction is that it's easy to use. It provides a clear, common language for assessing outcomes, indicators and performance measures. It also encourages people to think about who they can work with and how, together, they can work differently to achieve shared outcomes.

Another benefit: Results Based Accountability gets participants from talk to action quickly, and helps them make a real difference in peoples' lives Results Based reporting encourages reporting based on a results and outcomes based framework. This will put the focus on what really counts; are we making a difference for families and their children?
