Results-Based Accountability

Results-Based Accountability (RBA) is a management approach focused on measuring and improving the real outcomes of programs or services. It emphasizes setting clear goals, tracking progress through specific indicators, and using data to make informed decisions. RBA encourages stakeholders to work collaboratively, ensuring efforts lead to meaningful improvements for the community or clients. Instead of just counting activities or inputs, it prioritizes the actual results—like better health, education, or safety—so resources are directed toward strategies that truly make a difference.
