Company LOGO ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE INDICATOR FRAMEWORK (OPIF) OPIF is an accountability framework based on: Explicit recognition by agencies of the Government’s expenditure priorities (sector goals and organizational outcomes) Identification of Major Final Outputs (MFOs) and PAPs to achieve those priorities Identification of performance indicators by agencies that show well they are delivering services (outputs) to achieve Government outcomes/objectives Monitoring performance and publicly reporting results (both successes and failures) to ensure transparency and accountability of government operations
Company LOGO OPIF OBJECTIVES § To shift emphasis from ‘input’ to ‘output’ focused budgeting Inputs still important in costing MFOs & assessing efficiency § To Encourage departments & agencies to focus on the delivery of outputs (goods & services) to achieve Government goals (outcomes/objectives) § To specify and document expected performance of each agency and hold them accountable for its achievement § To report to the President, Congress and the public on the efficiency of output delivery by agencies § To provide the Government with a better basis for assessing the effectiveness of agency outputs in meeting intended outcomes
