CCAF and Government of Alberta release final report on “Consultations on Improving Public Performance Reports in Alberta”

The Government of Alberta, wanting to further improve PPRs, initiated a direct dialogue between the producers and users of these reports. Alberta’s goal is that, as a result of the improvements suggested by users through this engagement process, these reports will be more widely used. In October, November and December 2007, CCAF engaged legislators, the media, and non-governmental organizations in separate sessions to hear directly from users regarding what works, what does not, and why. Alberta organizations represented a cross-section of interests, in the first consultation of its kind in which CCAF has participated. A document summarizing "What We Heard" is now available here.
