Obama Administration Agenda for Government Performance: Evolution and Related Issues for Congress : Congressional Research Service (CRS) , January 19, , 2011
From the document: “This memorandum responds to congressional interest in the Barack Obama Administration’s agenda for government performance, how the agenda has evolved, and related issues for Congress. Specifically, the memorandum discusses milestones in the agenda’s development, including the Administration’s statements of plans and commitments regarding how it would work with Congress and agencies. Two tools of policy analysis—program evaluation and performance measurement—often are used to inform assessments of government performance. That is, these tools generate information for multiple audiences, including Congress, agencies, the President, and the public, to help inform assessments of how agencies, programs, and policies are performing or might be improved. Consequently, program evaluation and performance measurement may inform related oversight, substantive lawmaking, and resource allocation by Congress. Congress also may intend for the tools to inform related policy making, budgeting, implementation, and management in agencies and the Executive Office of the President.”
