Background
The Departmental Results Framework is a requirement of the 2016 Treasury Board Policy on Results, which supports a culture of measurement, evaluation and innovation in program and policy design and delivery. It is a key tool for tracking and communicating the department’s results and financial information to parliamentarians and the public. It contains a clear and concise overview of what the organization does (core responsibilities), what it is trying to influence (departmental results) and how it will assess progress (departmental result indicators). This tool is supported by the Program Inventory, which identifies the department’s programs and describes how resources are organized to contribute to its core responsibilities and departmental results.
The department first established its Departmental Results Framework for use in the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year, transitioning from an older reporting system (the Program Alignment Architecture). Target and annual result information for each indicator contained in the Departmental Results Framework is reported upon in both the Departmental Plan and Departmental Results Report. The tool is intended to provide an enduring structure which supports year-over-year reporting through trend analysis; however, it can be modified to update or clarify the department’s performance story.
Current status
The department is currently pursuing amendments to its Departmental Results Framework to ensure it remains relevant to its core functions and that the department is using sound methodologies and data to measure results.
