Veterans' Affairs: Veterans Benefits Administration's Progress and Challenges in Implementing GPRA

Abstract

We are pleased to be here today to provide our views on the progress made and challenges faced by the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) in implementing the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). As you know, over the past several years, the Congress has taken steps to fundamentally change the way federal agencies go about their work. The Congress took these steps in response to management problems so common among federal agencies that they demanded governmentwide solutions. GPRA was passed in 1993 to require agencies to clearly define their missions, set goals, measure performance, and report on their accomplishments.
