Outcome and program structure
Under the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework, ACIAR achieves its purpose through a single government outcome (Outcome 1) and program (Program 1).
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the government on the Australian community. Programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements.
ACIAR planning and operations are guided at the highest level by its 10-Year Strategy 2018–2027. The strategy defines six high-level objectives, which guide and are built upon in primary planning documents. Performance for the period covered in this Annual Report is guided by the ACIAR Corporate Plan 2018–19, which covers the four-year period 2018–19 to 2021–22.
The Corporate Plan 2018–19 identifies targets for performance, which are aligned with performance criteria and targets set out for ACIAR in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2018–19.
Figure 2.1 illustrates the relationship between the outcome, program and purpose of ACIAR, as set out in Portfolio Budget Statements 2018–19, and how ACIAR plans and reports its performance according to these.
