This report focuses on two objectives: (1) development of an on-site capacity to design and implement performance monitoring systems and the institutionalization of these procedures throughout the Thai Ministries at individual program levels and (2) development of performance measurement models, using government programs as the context, to provide relevant national examples for replication in other Thai public agencies and programs. This report measures and reports program outcomes and briefly discusses measurement of program resources, workload, and productivity.

An easy-to-use, practical guide to more than 125 actions that will improve management and leadership, this book is particularly responsive to public-sector needs. The authors interviewed personnel, their clients, and elected officials from 18 community development agencies across the country to find out what does and does not work for them. The book is a quick reference tool for managers and their staffs at all levels. The foreword is written by Tom Peters, coauthor of In Search of Excellence.

Awarded a Certificate of Merit for distinguished research by the Governmental Research Association in 1992.
