Measuring progress
We will take a three-tier approach to measuring progress toward outcomes. One tier will focus on measuring progress at an Outcome level. For this we will initially monitor a small set of indicators as detailed below. These indicators, when considered together, provide a gauge of the overall outcome, 'All New Zealanders have access to quality homes and buildings that meet their needs now and in the future'. Additional indicators will be added to this set as our thinking evolves.
The second tier will centre on the development, and subsequent implementation, of an Evaluation Strategy aimed at measuring the effectiveness of internal and external deliverables.
The third tier will focus on measuring the delivery and impact of our activities. Progress in this regard will be reported and monitored through the regular reporting prepared for the Minister(s) against the Departmental Output Plan.
