Developing a plan for 2009-2013
Using a national model called Results Based
Accountability (RBA)
Under RBA, the driving force for planning is
selecting specific outcomes to target:
‰
What results are most important to achieve?
‰
Where can we have the biggest impact?
`
`
`
The Guiding Principles are the navigational
tool that will be used to make decisions
Commitment to Cultural Access, Systems
Change, Training and Accountability are
woven through out the strategic planning
process but are not explicitly described in
the situational analysis
Community forums have underscored the
need to reinforce these concepts and
commitments as part of strategic planning
1. Extent of need: the extent to which children
age 0 to 5 and their families have needs
that are not currently being met
2. Impact on those affected: the degree to
which people and communities are affected
by the condition/issue
3. Ability to have an impact: whether
investments by First 5 Alameda County are
likely to have a measurable impact
4. Sustainability over time: ability to have an
impact beyond 2009-2013

Identify potential community outcomes that First
5 should consider for the next strategic plan
Draft a report with the key findings
`
Purpose
1. Define potential outcomes – what issues
affecting children 0-5 should First 5 Alameda
County consider?
2. Summarize the best available information for
each outcome.
`
Will be used to inform decisions about
outcomes to target in the next strategic plan
`
`
`
Have we identified the most important issues
affecting the health, development and well
being of children age 0-5?
Does the report accurately present each
issue?
Does it reflect the best available information?
If not, what other information should we
consider?
