RBA Master Trainer & Practitioner Conference
Overview This event kicks off an open Results-Based Accountability community of practice in Vermont, bringing together a diverse group of trainers and practitioners to discuss the unique opportunities and challenges of the accountability movement in the state, gain practical skills in the application of RBA, and identify opportunities for mentorship. Background Vermont has emerged as an international leader in government and social sector accountability. Hundreds of individuals have been trained in the basic concepts of results-based accountability, with many in our community completing the Training of Trainer program. Individuals and groups are leading their own organizations internally to integrate accountability into organizational DNA. The state legislature has passed the "Outcomes Bill" (Act 186), and begun to integrate RBA into the very way the state does business. Thanks to collaborations and initiatives like Vermont Insights and the Vermont Data Collaborative, there is renewed commitment to statewide data collection and accessibility. It is increasingly possible for communities to take ownership of their own data and indicators. Over the past few months Benchmarks and Vermont Accountability Group have engaged in strategic thinking about the long-term course of RBA in Vermont. We identified a need for a broad, open RBA learning community available to state partners, mission-driven organizations, and RBA trainers both within organizations and working independently.
