Results-based Budgeting Challenge Panels and Programs and Services Reviewed

Summary as of January 2015

The Government of Alberta’s third and final cycle of Results-based Budgeting reviews ended in January 2015. Well over 500 government programs and services were reviewed since 2012.

Results-based budgeting was intended to help ensure every government program and service delivers the outcomes Albertans expect as effectively and efficiently as possible, including those delivered by agencies, boards and commissions.

The results-based budgeting process involved the participation of government and non-government people. Frontline workers participated in the review of programs and services, while government MLAs and members of the public participated on challenge panels, to ensure the reviews were rigorous and recommendations emerging from the reviews supported the goal of working better to meet the needs of Albertans.

See the links below for details on the Challenge Panel members, Programs and Services reviewed, and Results-based Budgeting Reports to Albertans.
