Program Performance Budgeting

Program Performance Budgeting is a method of managing public funds by focusing on specific goals and results. Instead of just tracking how much money is spent, it assesses how effectively programs achieve their intended outcomes. This approach encourages agencies to plan their activities carefully, measure progress, and make adjustments to improve performance. It aligns budget decisions with the actual benefits delivered to the public, ensuring resources are used efficiently and programs meet their objectives. In essence, it’s about linking expenditures to tangible results, promoting transparency and accountability in government spending.
