Funding Capacity
Federal investments will be used to build local capacity to implement a results‐based approach.
Promise Neighborhoods, as defined in this proposed framework, is a federal initiative to help selected local communities dramatically improve the academic success for poor children. This paper presents a specific results-based focus for framing the long-term outcomes of the Promise Neighborhoods initiative. These results drive planning and design, start‐up activities, program implementation and evaluation, and place accountability for actually improving the well‐being of children and families at the center of the initiative.
Results‐Based Accountability (RBA) is used as a framework for Promise Neighborhoods' initiative planning proposals.
