The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) has announced it is planning to launch a new toolkit or framework to improve the effectiveness of third sector infrastructure bodies in 2010.

The Common Outcomes Framework for Infrastructure will be a redevelopment of the already existing Perform Framework and will be launched in partnership with Triangle Consulting and the Third Sector Research Centre as part of a £700,000 England-wide push to help infrastructure organisations improve their capacity and impact.

It is hoped the new toolkit will encourage a more outcomes-related, customer-focussed approach amongst third sector infrastructure bodies and will allow organisations access to a wide-range of comparative data about their own achievements and those of other agencies, so that “what works best” conclusions can be drawn.
