results-based accountability
measurable impact
Since 2019, United Way of the Piedmont has utilized the Results-Based Accountability framework to hold ourselves and our partners accountable to collective impact outcomes that move the needle on our community's biggest challenges. We use this framework to ensure that the dollars entrusted to us are invested in ways that will result in the greatest measurable impact.
what is results-based accountability?
Results-Based Accountability (RBA) is a structured approach to address deep-rooted and complex social problems. RBA uses data-driven decision-making processes to help our community and organization get beyond talking to take measurable action to solve problems.
RBA quantifies results, not just to measure, but to confirm a program's impact on the target area or population by asking three questions:
- How much did we do?
- How well did we do it?
- Is anyone better off?
