CAPSTAT


CapStat is a performance-based accountability program that uniquely identifies opportunities to make District government run more efficiently, while providing a higher quality of service to its residents. The program is modeled after Baltimore’s CitiStat but is tailored to the needs of the District of Columbia. CapStat is not a technology application; however, technology will support the discussions. Accountability sessions are central to the program. For one hour, all executives responsible for implementing specific actions will be in one room to discuss performance data and explore ways to improve government services, as well as make commitments for follow-up actions.

ICSIC


The purpose of the Commission is to address the needs of at-risk children by reducing juvenile and family violence and promoting social and emotional skills among children and youth through the oversight of a comprehensive integrated service delivery system. The twenty-one (21) member Commission has aligned itself around the Administration's six citywide goals*, which outline the District's commitment that children and youth make successful transitions from birth to adulthood. By looking at ways to measure our success in each goal, the Administration can determine how to make improvements in each critical area. Implementing the six citywide goals requires the District to work across agency boundaries and with community partners to align critical supports and services for children, youth, and their families.


The Commission meets monthly to discuss data around one of the goals and how agencies can collaborate to address the needs of children, youth, and their families around the six goals. ICSIC Action Items and timelines are identified for each agency out of the Commission meetings.
