Course Content

This workshop offers an overview of the requirements of Results and Services Plans, and the construction of results logic and its alignment with government priorities. It gives hands-on experience in developing results logic and offers links to agencies’ planning and evaluation systems. The workshop also provides an overview of Mark Friedman’s results-based accountability model and how it can support RSP-based reporting systems. Participants develop results logic for a case study and then review their own agency’s results logic. The Friedman model is also demonstrated through real-life case studies.
