Performance-based accountability

Performance-based accountability is a system that evaluates organizations or individuals based on measurable results and outcomes. Instead of just focusing on activities or efforts, it emphasizes how well objectives are achieved, such as improved student test scores or efficient healthcare delivery. This approach encourages entities to be responsible for their performance, ensuring they meet specific standards and make progress towards set goals. It promotes transparency and can lead to better resource allocation and continuous improvement by linking rewards or consequences directly to performance results.
