Tracking Progress and Measuring Success
Beginning in FY 2023,The GPC will use a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) based on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) to track program outcomes.
Because the UN SDGs are an internationally recognized standard of measure, the GPC can benchmark our progress against the efforts of other local governments, here in the U.S. and around the world.
