Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA)

The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), enacted in 1993, is a U.S. law that requires federal agencies to set clear goals, measure their progress, and report on their performance. Its purpose is to ensure government agencies operate efficiently, prioritize effective programs, and be accountable to the public. By regularly evaluating outcomes and making information transparent, GPRA helps improve decision-making and ensures that government efforts meet their intended objectives.
