KRA to join KPI to bring improvements !!!

Each ministry to identify key result areas

Najib, on the occassion of his 100 days in office, announced that his administration would focus on the six areas namely crime prevention, combating corruption, providing greater access to quality and affordable education, improving the quality of life for the poor, improving rural infrastructure and upgrading public transportation in the medium term.

The six national key result areas (KRAs) were determined from public feedback, opinion polls and media reports, said Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.It was also based on views raised by the rakyat during Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Najib Tun Razak’s walkabouts and interaction with the public.

Dr Koh said the Prime Minister would announce at least one key performance indicator (KPI) for each KRA to be known as national KPIs (N-KPIs).

“For instance, in the area of crime, the KPI will among others, spell out areas the government intends to reduce, the percentage of reduction and its timeline."

“This way, the government’s plans are made very clear to the public and prove its commitment in delivering its promises,” he added.

He said Najib also wanted all ministries to identify its respective KRAs - be it issues that needed to be tackled or enhanced and services that needed improvement.

Najib said the six key areas would help his administration and civil servants achieve the objectives of having key performance indices.

“The entire agenda (since I took office) comprises – firstly, a harmonious people and a prosperous economy, secondly, human rights and media freedom and thirdly, improving the capability of civil servants and the efficiency of the government’s delivery system,” he said.

These two methods would help up achieve our ultimate goals, whether it is for Malaysia to be a developed, first-world or high-income nation.

“However, its success will also depend on the strength of the administration-public service relationship and I cannot emphasise enough how important this partnership is in determining the success of government policies and programmes,” he told civil servants at the Prime Minister’s Department monthly gathering Monday.
