Results-Based Accountability
The Regional Access Project Foundation has adopted Results-Based Accountability (RBA), a disciplined way of thinking and acting to improve entrenched and complex social problems, as our methodology for driving improvement. We want to know how well we and our partners are performing so we can improve the way we work. Using data to inform our activities and efforts helps ensure we are achieving the results that we want. It assists us in answering the questions, “How are our communities and clients better off?” as a result of our efforts and funding.
Turn The Curve Thinking
The Regional Access Project Foundation actively uses performance data to improve the health of Coachella Valley and Palo Verde Valley residents. We embrace “Turn the Curve” thinking, which helps us make decisions about priorities and funding and drives continuous improvement for greater impact in organizations.
The Turn the Curve monitoring process is utilized to measure program progress in three key performance areas by answering these questions:
- How much did we do?
- How well did we do it?
- Is anyone better off?
We use online scorecards to capture program-level impact from the community-based organizations we fund.
Performance Management & Scorecards
What Are Performance Scorecards?
The Performance Scorecards are a tool to display data and to share the story of what the data means. The Scorecard framework is based on the Results Based Accountability model, which ties programmatic and funding work to our goals for improving the health of Coachella Valley residents.
Why Do We Use Performance Scorecards?
Our Performance Scorecards are a method for us to monitor, share, and use data for improvement.
