Section II: Analysis by Strategic Outcome

2.1 Reporting Using Program Activity Architecture (PAA)

The NRTEE has elected to report its performance using its new Program Activity Architecture (PAA). Since the RPP 2004-2005, the NRTEE has modified its overarching strategic outcome. As well, the priorities identified in the RPP 2004-2005 now closely correspond to the agency's activities in the PAA. Figure 1 illustrates the trajectory of these changes. Figure 1.

PAA reporting structure for DPR 2004-2005
Strategic outcome: Decisions throughout Canadian society manifest balanced concern for environment and economy

 

Strategic outcome: Federal policy development on environment and economy issues, and decisions in other key sectors, are influenced by NRTEE advice on selected issues.

Priority # 2: Raise awareness and understanding of problems, opportunities and practical solutions

Activity 1: Provide advice on environment and economy issues

Expected result: An increase in awareness and understanding of problems, opportunities and practical solutions related to the environment and the economy

Priority #1: Advise federal decision makers on key environment and economy issues

 

Sub-activity 1.1: Produce advice through research and stakeholder consultation
 

 

Expected result: New knowledge is created         
 
 
 

 

Sub-activity 1.2: Promote advice to federal clients and other key sectors
 
Expected result: Advice reaches target audiences

 

The NRTEE is not yet in a position to report on all the performance indicators identified in the new PAA (as explained in more detail below). Furthermore, based on a recent assessment of its evaluation process (see Section 2.2 below), the NRTEE is reconsidering whether the indicators in the PAA are the most appropriate for its organization. For this DPR, we have used a combination of the PAA indicators and those applied in past reporting periods, as illustrated in the expanded crosswalks in Section 2.4 below.

Figure 2 shows how the NRTEE results chain has been adjusted to reflect the PAA and the associated modified strategic outcome and activities.
