Addition of new
RBA Supplemental Powerpoint Slides This removes about 60
slides that were formerly attached to the main RBA 101
Powerpoint Slide Show. This makes the main Powerpoint file
smaller and easier to download, and makes it easier to add new
supplemental slides. Watch this space for such additions.

Results Accountability in the News:
New place to post news articles about Results Accountability,
starting with postings from the London Guardian and the New York
Times
When government-delivered services are
contracted out to for-profit and/or nonprofit providers, it is
called “privatization.” While this method has been part of the
government landscape for many years, elected officials and
government managers often don’t know the basics of when
privatization is appropriate and how to make it work. This short
paper gives you a candid summary of what you need to know.
