What is Results Based Accountability™?

 RBA™ starts with ends and works backward, step by step, towards means. For communities, the ends are conditions of well-being for children, families and the community as a whole. For example: “Residents with good jobs,” “Children ready for school,” or “A safe and clean neighbourhood” or even more specific conditions such as “Public spaces without graffiti,” or “A place where neighbours know each other.” For programs, the ends are how customers are better off when the program works the way it should. For example: The percentage of people in the job training program who get and keep good paying jobs. RBA is a a disciplined way of thinking that can be used by communities to improve the lives of children, families and the community as a whole, RBA™ gets from talk to action quickly via the following;  

• using a simple, common sense process that everyone can understand;
• helping groups to challenge the assumptions that block innovation; 
• building collaboration and consensus; and
•  using data and transparency to ensure accountability
