         Since taking office, Mayor Landrieu has committed to dramatically improving the accountability, transparency and performance of New Orleans city government, city reps said. In January 2011, Mayor Landrieu created the Office of Performance and Accountability (OPA) to better city services through data-driven decision-making and accountability for delivering results to citizens.

         OPA submits regular reports on the city’s progress. In addition to the ResultsNOLA report, the office developed a series of monthly STAT programs, or data-driven performance review meetings, for key initiatives.

         Earlier this year, the American Society for Public Administration Center for Accountability and Performance recognized the Office of Performance and Accountability with an Organizational Leadership award for national leadership in performance analytics. Also this year, the International City/County Management Association Center for Performance Analytics, recognized ResultsNOLA with a Certificate of Excellence – the organization’s highest honor – for the fourth year in a row.
