indicators
– Performance accountability - performance measures
• 3 types of performance measures:
– How much did we do?
– How well did we do it?
– Is anyone better off?
• 7 questions from ends to means:
– baselines and turning the curve – to make life better for our
families / whānau, children / tamariki, and communities.

Results Based Accountability
is made up of two parts:
Population Accountability
about the wellbeing of
