OBA Training and OBA in Action

Outcome Based Accountability™ (OBA) is a disciplined way of thinking and taking action that service planners and communities can use to design and monitor strategies to improve the lives of children, families and communities and as the basis for commissioning and improving the performance of projects, programmes and services.

OBA Training with Mary Curtis, Wednesday 4th June 12.30 to 2.30 Pip's Place, Union Street, St Helier

OBA in Action with Fiona Vacher, Wednesday 18th June 2.30 to 4.30 Pip's Place, Union Street, St Helier

Uniquely, OBA makes a clear distinction between accountability to partners and stakeholders for strategies to improve quality of life for whole populations, and the accountability of service providers and commissioners for the impact of individual services and interventions on their client populations, effectively separating means from ends.

This session is funded and recommended by the Jersey Funder Group https://jerseyfundersgroup.org/

Outcomes Based Accountability in Theory and Practice

DATES :
OBA Training with Mary Curtis, Wednesday 4th June 12.30 to 2.30 Pip's Place, Union Street, St Helier

OBA in Action with Fiona Vacher, Wednesday 18th June 2.30 to 4.30 Pip's Place, Union Street, St Helier

Cost: free for attending both sessions.

This training helps you understand the basic OBA principles, expressing and measuring how your charity "makes a difference" and how you can utilise this approach in planning and grant applications.

Delivered in two parts (2 Hours each) with the first session introducing you to what an OBA approach is and why you would adopt it in your charity.

Who should attend?

This workshop is aimed at people who are responsible for business development or fundraising in their organisation, including senior leaders, chief executives, chairs, and trustees. No prior knowledge of OBA principles is required.

Who delivers the training?

This charity-specific training is delivered in two sessions. The first session focuses on OBA Theory , delivered by Mary Curtis who has over 20 years experience in human resources and training and development.

The second session is delivered by Fiona Vacher, CEO of Jersey Child Care Trust, who shares her charities journey and positive transformation since implementing OBA.
