Government Performance and Results Act

The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), enacted in 1993, is a U.S. law aimed at improving federal agency performance. It requires agencies to set clear goals, measure their progress, and report on outcomes. By focusing on results rather than just activities, GPRA helps ensure that government programs are effective and accountable to taxpayers. This process encourages agencies to use data to make informed decisions and improve services, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations.
