Performance Measurement and Reporting in First Nations - 2 Day Workshop
This workshop is the first to be offered in Canada that tackles the issue of performance reporting in First Nations. The focus is on reporting on performance to community members NOT funders.
Learning to manage and report on performance is a big step on the path to self-governance. Financial information is one aspect of performance, however financial statements only give part of the performance picture. There are many other equally if not more important aspects of performance like:
Have our goals been met compared to what was planned?
Do community members judge our performance to be satisfactory?
Are our values and culture reflected and supported by our programs and activities?
This workshop will introduce the Aboriginal Performance Wheel and take participants through the core principle of performance reporting in First Nation environments. Subjects covered include:
- What is performance reporting, and why it matters
- Dimensions of performance
- Reporting on performance – getting started
- Identifying the kinds of information to be reported
- Creating performance reports
- Using performance reports
Registration is limited to 25 participants. Register now! For more information call AFOA at 1-866-722-2362 ext. 117.

Many communities throughout the country are undertaking Comprehensive Community Planning (CCP) in an effort to improve their economic base while asserting their independence and ownership of community resources. Comprehensive Community Planning is a holistic process that enables a community to build a roadmap to sustainability, self-sufficiency and improved governance capacity. It is a new approach to planning, where the process is steered by the community rather than a small group or committee. Planning is an important tool on the road to self-governance and building capacity in First Nations communities. Each community requires a unique approach to planning that can be adapted to their culture and traditions – it can help individual First Nations make a positive difference in addressing specific issues in their community.
Using best practices and case studies this workshop focuses on: history and evolution of CCP; exploring indigenous principles; and current models and insights from First Nations who have completed CCP.
