The National Center for Public Performance (NCPP) at Rutgers University–Newark is a research and public service organization devoted to improving efficiency and effectiveness of the public sector, and the only such university-based center in the United States. Founded in 1972, the NCPP serves as a vehicle for the study, dissemination, and recognition of performance measurement and improvement initiatives in government, as well as research and teaching in citizen engagement. Focused primarily on assessment of data and information sharing, the NCPP emphasizes performance measurement and reporting, and fosters dialogue in the area via conferences, publications, newsletters, and a listserv. It aims to highlight and share information about performance measurement, benchmarking, reporting, citizen involvement, and related issues.
The NCPP is a unit of the Rutgers–Newark School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA). NCPP programming includes the web-based Public Performance Measurement and Reporting Network (PPMRN), professional development certificates for public managers, the Municipal Performance Measurement System (MPMS), the New Jersey Databank, the E-Governance Institute, the Shared Services Institute, and publications such as the Public Performance and Management Review.
