7 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY COUNTYWIDE RACIAL EQUITY PLAN <br /> A FRAMEWORK FOR MOVING FORWARD <br /> JUNE 15,2021 <br /> The Evaluation and Accountability Subcommittee is working on an evaluation plan based on the Results- <br /> Based Accountability principles(RBA)framework. The RBA framework provides a disciplined,data-driven <br /> decision-making process to help local governments take action to solve problems.RBA is a tool that"starts <br /> with the desired result and works backward to the means, to ensure the desired results that your plan <br /> works toward community results with stakeholder-driven implementation." Results-based accountability <br /> helps distinguish between population level (whole group), and performance measure (activity-specific) <br /> indicators that organizations use to determine whether they are having an actual impact. The RBA <br /> framework indicates the relationship over time between results, indicators, and activities. It is based on <br /> seven questions of population accountability: <br /> 1. What are the desired results? <br /> 2. What would the results look like? <br /> 3. What are the community indicators that would measure the desired results? <br /> 4. What does the data tell us? <br /> 5. Who are your partners? <br /> 6. What works to change the data trend toward racial equity? <br /> 7. What actions should you start with? <br /> Performance Accountability for Actions: The Road to Getting to Results <br /> In using the RBA framework, the groundwork has already been set. For each community indicator, the <br /> group has identified a set of actions. Facilitated action planning sessions help to refine the steps. <br /> Population-level indicators and results will then help to build a performance plan. Performance measures <br /> will ensure actions or activities are crafted in a way to decrease racial disparities. More details are outlined <br /> in Appendix D. <br /> Some questions asked in this process are: <br /> 1. Who do you serve? <br /> 2. What is an action's intended impact? <br /> 3. What is the quality of the action? <br /> 4. What is the story behind the data? <br /> 5. Who are the partners with a role to play? <br /> 6. What works to have a greater impact? <br /> 7. What are the next steps? <br /> Develop a Stewardship Plan <br /> Some questions asked in creating a stewardship plan are: <br /> 1. Are there outcomes and actions that are receiving less attention than others? <br /> 2. Is there a need to change the plan? <br /> 3. Have plan actions been implemented or are in progress?What do the results indicate as to how <br /> to improve? <br /> 4. Is there an explanation and/or proposal for resolving the issue if there are unmet or blocked <br /> actions? <br /> 4 <br />
