The Government Performance and Results Act at Age 30

This book offers a critical examination of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1974, which was hailed as a groundbreaking reform to bring strategic planning and performance measurement to all parts of the federal government. Government agencies have to publicly explain what they are planning to do and then assess how well they are doing it. It became the part of the Clinton administration’s Reinventing Government initiative and has endured through many presidential transitions.
