Government Delivery Plan

The Government Delivery Plan of Nouvelle Alexandrie, officially known as the Outcome Delivery Plan (Alexandrian: Planes de Entrega Prioritarios), and nicknamed as Plan 1734, is a policy paper delivered by Marissa Santini, then President of the Government, and her Council of State, in 1730 AN, as the official government of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Evolving from the General Appropriations and Taxation Act, 1730, it provided provisional priority outcomes for each government department, including long-term policy objectives. They also included cross-departmental priorities and overall government commitments. Provisional metrics were also provided. Each department's delivery plan also included strategies to achieve goals, and performance trackers.

The official motto of the plan was: "Delivering for Progress and Prosperity".

History

The results of the New Alexandrian general election of 1729 led to the Federal Consensus Party gaining a plurality of the vote. Together with United for Alvelo and the Democratic Socialist Party, they formed a minority government with the other parties giving confidence and supply. Marissa Santini announced the Delivery Plan during the Throne Speech Debate. Much of the plans evolved from the New Consensus book published in 1714 AN, and from the 1729 Election Campaign.

The Council of State, through the Department of Institutional Affairs, developed a Public Sector Evaluation Framework. In this framework, regulations and standards were developed for public spending and outcome delivery, with a focus on embedding this framework into daily routines and processes across all departments. The PSEF also provided diagnostic tools and methods for policy performance and budgetary reviews.

The DIA also established so-called Cross-Cutting Outcomes in areas where multiple departments would benefit from collaboration. Beyond that, they established the Outcome Delivery Dashboard, providing Secretaries, Deputies, and the public with regular updates on outcome delivery, allowing them to track performance and take early action.
