OBA Training
OBA Training and OBA In Practice, day time sessions.
Outcome Based Accountability™ (OBA) is a disciplined way of thinking and taking action that service planners and communities can use to design and monitor strategies to improve the lives of children, families and communities and as the basis for commissioning and improving the performance of projects, programmes and services.
Uniquely, OBA makes a clear distinction between accountability to partners and stakeholders for strategies to improve quality of life for whole populations, and the accountability of service providers and commissioners for the impact of individual services and interventions on their client populations, effectively separating means from ends.
This session is funded and recommended by the Jersey Funder Group https://jerseyfundersgroup.org/
