The Priorities of Government

How the POG Approach Will Guide the 2007-09 Budget

Preparation for the 2007-09 budget began in thee fall of 2005 when POG results teams met to complete the following tasks:

• Identify indicators of success for the key strategies for each result.

• Recommend three to five focus areas ideas for improving results, reducing activity costs, or gaining research to aid the evidence-based prioritization of activities. OFM will communicate many of these ideas to agencies in the form of targeted budget instructions, asking them to prepare proposals as part of their 2007-09 budget submittal.
