Prepared by :

Introduction:Traditionally, the focus of civil service

in India was on process regulation i.e.compliance with centrally prescribedStandard & Rules.

Though it meets the economy of inputs &compliance but fails to provide aframework that would manage the

results by developing robust indicatorsto assess performance in terms of result.

Performance management is the systematic process by whichthe organization involves its employees, as individuals andmembers of a group, in improving organizationaleffectiveness in the accomplishment of organizationalmission and goals.

Performance management is a broad system of defining and

measuring performance, besides developing incentives forindividuals and organizations. It touches the processes ofplanning, implementing, reviewing, evaluating and reportingto gauge the impact of policies and programmes. Itpromotes growth and learning, and recognizes thatcapacity building and improvement in individual

performance leads to better achievement oforganizational goals.


5/36

The conventional performance management systems in

government has earned the dubious distinction of being closedand centralized with a focus on procedures, processes andinputs, there are certain new developments in the publicmanagement scenario in the areas of Public Finance, PublicAdministration and government interface with the communityand civil society

New trends in Performance Management


6/36

Public Finances

Outcome budgeting: Outcome budget, as a performance management tool,helps in better service delivery, decision-making, evaluating programmeperformance and results.

Public AdministrationCitizens Charter: Citizens Charter is a declaration by the agency ordepartment providing public service to specify the standards of servicedelivery and avenues for redressing grievances. The Citizens Charter is animportant tool to improve the quality of services, address the needs ofcitizens rights and set clear standards of performance.

Sevottam: The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public

Grievances has introduced a model for benchmarking Excellence in PublicService Delivery (Sevottam). This is a framework for organizations toassess and improve the quality of service delivery for the citizens. Itguides government departments to identify the services to be delivered toset service norms, align delivery capability with expectations of citizens,gauge the quality of service delivery through an objective assessment andto improve quality using interventions like business process redesign andinformation technology.

Right to Information (RTI) Act: Through this recently enacted Act,citizens of India have access to information under the control of publicauthorities with the objective of promoting transparency and accountabilityin these organizations. The influence of this Act as a new paradigm inaccountability is very significant in improving performance.

Civil Society initiatives in performance management in government

While the focus of this paper is on the performance managementmechanisms in government, it is worthwhile to look at a few path-breaking accountability tools initiated by the civil society movementwhich can be helpful in improving performance management.

Citizens Report Card (CRC): These report cards are surveys thatsolicit user feedback on the performance of public services to enhancepublic accountability. These scores reflect the performance of publicservice providers based on citizen feedback. The CRC has a goodpotential to evolve as a tool to support performance managementsystem.Community Score Card (CSC): It is a community based monitoring toolthat is a hybrid of the techniques of social audit and citizen reportcards (CRC). This is an instrument to extract social and publicaccountability and responsiveness from service providers. As thecitizens are empowered to provide immediate feedback to serviceprovider, it facilitates community monitoring and performanceevaluation of services, projects and even government agencies.Social Audit: Social audit is a mandatory process of transparencywhereby records are placed by government officials or electedrepresentatives for public scrutiny. Whereas the 73rd and 74thamendments to the Constitution have created a large space fordemocratic decentralization, social audits are mandated in theprogrammes under NREGA.
