The Work of the Government Performance Project

The Government Performance Project (GPP) evaluated how states manage their money, people, infrastructure, and information—four areas critical to well-functioning governments. Through the publication of 50-state report cards, a series of tailored briefs, and events and convenings, GPP helped policy makers, stakeholders, and the media better understand the link between government management and performance. The project facilitated cross-state sharing of promising approaches and lessons learned, and it promoted innovation through the distribution of a catalog of proven management practices.
