SPMR – Strategy, Performance Measurement and Reporting
The Strategy, Performance Measurement and Reporting (SPMR) initiative helps SAIs close this gap. It provides practical tools, training, and hands-on support to strengthen strategic management and leadership. Through SPMR, SAIs learn how to assess where they stand, plan strategically, manage implementation, and measure and report on performance. By embedding strategic management into day-to-day work, SAIs can make informed decisions, demonstrate value, and promote good governance in a complex and rapidly changing world.
The SPMR Initiative helps your SAI to:
1. Assess its Performance
- Carry out a performance assessment using the Supreme Audit Institution Performance Measurement Framework (SAI PMF) assessment tool to measure institutional, organisational, and professional strengths and weaknesses.
- Conduct a stakeholder analysis to identify expectations, influence and relationships with external actors.
- Include a gender analysis to understand how the SAI’s work affects, and is affected by, gender dynamics.
2. Develop its Strategic Plan
- Lead the development or updating of a strategic plan that is evidence-based and tailored to your context.
- Receive intensive support via workshops, advisory input and individual assistance to shape strategy, priorities, and linkages.
- Define a results framework with clear outcomes, objectives, and indicators to guide planning, resource allocation, and performance tracking.
3. Implement A Strategic Vision
- Translate the strategic plan into annual operational plans, functional plans, and work programmes.
- Access e-learning modules and receive tailored support in developing holistic and operational plans.
- Learn to use practical tools such as to manage day-to-day implementation.
4. Monitor Progress and Report on Performance
- Establish a monitoring framework with realistic, relevant indicators, baselines, targets, and data collection plans.
- Carry out regular progress reviews and adjust implementation as needed, based on evidence and feedback.
- Report on results, internally and externally, showing how the SAI is contributing to oversight, accountability, and public value.
How does SPMR deliver results?
A key part of SPMR’s success lies in the practical tools it provides. One of these is the SPMR Strategic Management Manual, a state-of-the-art guide that helps SAIs apply good strategic management practices in their own context.
By combining evidence, practical tools, and hands-on learning, SPMR helps SAIs strengthen leadership, improve governance, and deliver greater value for citizens.
