Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complexity of governments today makes the accountability desired by citizens difficult to achieve. Written to address performance policies within state and national governments, Government Performance and Results: An Evaluation of GPRA’s First Decade summarizes lessons learned from a 10-year research project that evaluated performance reports produced by federal agencies under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). The results of this project can help answer a wide variety of questions in political economy and public administration, such as: What factors make performance reports relevant and informative? Has the quality of information disclosed to the public improved? Why do some agencies produce better reports than others? Has GPRA led to greater availability and use of performance information by federal managers? Has GPRA led to greater use of performance information in budget decisions? What steps would make federal management and budget decisions more performance oriented? The book documents the current state of the art in federal performance reporting, measures the extent of improvement, compares federal performance reports with those produced by state governments and other nations, and suggests how GPRA has affected management of federal agencies and resource allocation by policymakers. It also identifies obstacles that must be overcome if GPRA is to deliver on the promise of performance budgeting. The authors chronicle the improvements observed in federal performance reporting through the lens of the Mercatus Center’s annual Performance Report Scorecard. As budget shortfalls and new debt burdens increase interest in public management and budgeting techniques that allow governments to do more with less, this is an appropriate time to take stock of what GPRA has accomplished and what remains to be done. By comparing best performance reporting practices in the US federal government with those in states and other countries, this book speeds the diffusion of useful knowledge at a critical time.
Download or read book Gpra written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO provided information on the Government Performance and Results Act's (GPRA) implementation during the initial pilot phase, fiscal years (FY) 1994 to 1996, focusing on: (1) whether the managerial accountability and flexibility pilot worked as intended and the reasons why it did or did not; and (2) the lessons learned from this pilot and their possible implications for governmentwide implementation of GPRA. GAO noted that: (1) the GPRA managerial accountability and flexibility pilot did not work as intended; (2) the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) did not designate any of the 7 departments and 1 independent agency that submitted a total of 61 waiver proposals as GPRA managerial accountability and flexibility pilots; (3) three major factors contributed to the failure of GPRA's managerial accountability and flexibility pilot phase to work as intended; (4) first, changes in federal management practices and laws that occurred after GPRA was enacted affected agencies' need for the GPRA process; (5) second, GPRA was not the only means by which agencies could receive waivers from administrative requirements, and thereby obtain needed managerial flexibility; (6) third, OMB did not work actively with agencies that were seeking to take part in the managerial accountability and flexibility pilot, in contrast to its more proactive posture toward other GPRA requirements, such as the pilots for the performance planning and reporting requirements; (7) overall, officials in five of the eight agencies that submitted a waiver proposal to OMB said that they never received: (a) feedback from OMB on the status of their waiver proposals; (b) notification of specific concerns that OMB may have had about the quality and scope of the proposals; or, most important, (c) explicit instructions from OMB on how their proposals could be improved to better meet OMB's expectations; (8) even though the pilot process did not result in any GPRA-authorized waivers and thus did not work as intended, the process provided lessons for agencies and may have important implications for governmentwide GPRA implementation; (9) while preparing their waiver requests, several participating agencies learned that the burdens and constraints that confronted their managers often were imposed by the agency itself or its parent department and were not the result of requirements imposed by central management agencies; (10) the administration's effort to develop federal management "templates" that, in part, document the range of flexibility agencies have under existing central management agency requirements is a promising means for disseminating knowledge about available flexibility among federal agencies; and (11) in addition, the pilot experience should provide useful information for Congress to consider as GPRA is implemented governmentwide.
Download or read book Evaluating Federal Research Programs written by Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-02-24 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), passed by Congress in 1993, requires that federal agencies write five-year strategic plans with annual performance goals and produce an annual report that demonstrates whether the goals have been met. The first performance reports are due in March 2000. Measuring the performance of basic research is particularly challenging because major breakthroughs can be unpredictable and difficult to assess in the short term. This book recommends that federal agencies use an "expert review" method to examine the quality of research they support, the relevance of that research to their mission, and whether the research is at the international forefront of scientific and technological knowledge. It also addresses the issues of matching evaluation measurements to the character of the research performed, improving coordination among agencies when research is in the same field, and including a human resource development component in GPRA strategic and performance plans.
