WHY MEASURE PERFORMANCE?
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENTNew roles and responsibilities introduced under Transfer Payment Policy (2008) and Evaluation Policy and Directive (2009):
Deputy Minster responsible for ongoing performance measurement throughout the department in support of program evaluation
Director of Evaluation to provide advice on Performance Measurement Strategies (PM Strategy) and submit an annual report on the state of performance measurement
Program Managers must develop and implement a Performance Measurement Strategy to ensure credible and reliable performance data are being collected

MANAGING FOR RESULTS

Program profilePublic relevance, objectives, alignment with PAA, target population, stakeholders, governance, resources
Logic modelLinkages between inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, assumptions, PAA linkages
Performance indicator matrix (for ongoing monitoring)PAA linkages, indicators for outputs and outcomes, targets, frequency, link with evaluation questions
Implementation planDetailed data collection plan, including warehousing and access, collection roles and responsibilities; frequency, reporting commitments; and indicator templates
Risk AssessmentProgram risks identified and assessed and risks related to PM identified; mitigation strategies and challenges also identified
Evaluation strategyRequirements, timelines, responsibilities, draft evaluation matrix with core evaluation issues, level of effort tailored to program risks and characteristics
PM STRATEGY KEY ELEMENTS

Trend Analysis of OAG Audits and INAC Evaluations (2005)Audits and evaluations completed between 2000 and 2005 contained recommendations that have been first and foremost about implementing and/or improving performance measurement, monitoring and reporting
RMAF Study (summer 2008) Found some INAC RMAFs had weak logic models, emphasized outputs versus outcomes, data sources and responsibility for data collection not clearly defined, data only being collected for 43% of performance indicators
State of Performance Measurement Benchmark Study (2009)INAC assessed against 10 key characteristics of organizations that measure results well
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT AT INAC

INAC PM STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION1. Benchmark (where we are) and Plan (where we want to be)
PM Strategies integrated into 5 year Evaluation Plan
2. Engage Senior Management (leadership is critical)Governance framework established, including Evaluation, Performance Measurement and Review Committee (EPMRC)
3. Build capacity (it’s about culture change)Develop support tools (e.g. Guidance and Templates; Thematic Indicators Study; PM Strategy Models and best practises)
4. Collaborative model (measuring results is a shared responsibility)
Internal Services experts support team (SPPD, SRAD, IMB, EPMRB, CFO). Expanding collaboration
5. Measure / Assess progressImplementation monitoring

FRAMEWORK ORIGINSLast policy framework for Aboriginal economic development released in 1989 as the Canadian Aboriginal Economic Development Strategy (CAEDS)
Conditions, needs, opportunities and relationships associated with Aboriginal Canadians and economic development have changed significantly in the past twenty years
In June 2009, the Government of Canada launched the new Federal Framework for Aboriginal Economic Development

APPROACH TO THE FRAMEWORK PM STRATEGY
To develop an overarching PM Strategy for the Framework a Working Group with representatives from each Framework-related program was established in Fall ’09
Met weekly to provide input and feedback on the Framework logic model and performance indicators and peer reviewed individual PM Strategies
EPMRB provided ongoing advice, guidance, and support to the Working Group and also worked individually with program areas to develop initiative-level PM Strategies
EPMRB engaged internal services partners
Framework PM Strategy approved in December 2009 along with Loan Loss Reserve & Major Resource and Energy Development Investments

LESSONS LEARNEDClustering of related initiatives
Increased cooperation and understanding between programs, allowed for identification of common outcomes, and identified opportunities for reduced reporting burden
Capacity buildingAll Framework PM Strategies developed in house with advice and guidance from EPMRB and other internal partners
Collaborative approachWorking Group engaged INAC’s Aboriginal economic development branches and other internal partners
Senior leadership The CAEE and Evaluation Performance Measurement and Review Committee approved PM Strategies
