To ensure State accountability for First Peoples related programs and policies by those responsible for their development and delivery:

a) government bodies must ensure that First Peoples related programs and policies are rigorously monitored and evaluated

b) monitoring and evaluation must be designed alongside the development of the program or policy so that it is built into the program or policy (and commences at the same time as implementation) with measurement focused on real outcomes

c) where programs or policies have existing commitments to monitoring and evaluation, but little or no progress has been made, these must be actioned within six months

d) where programs or policies do not have monitoring or evaluation included, the inclusion of these must be actioned urgently, and

e) these monitoring and evaluation processes must be in accordance with the Burra Lotjpa Dunguludja (AJA4) Monitoring and Evaluation Framework including:

i. being consistent with First Peoples values

ii. reflecting First Peoples priorities for what is measured and how it is measured

iii. having an approved regular reporting cycle, and

iv. having a commitment to the open reporting of results.
