National P2 Results Aggregation Tool Available

The data collected will help demonstrate the activities of agencies, as well as the positive changes of their clients as a result of their activities. In addition, the data will help quantify P2 progress related to air, water, waste, and energy resources. This model is also designed to translate P2 progress into the context of bigger-picture issues, such as climate change, habitat, and sustainability.

The NEWMOA Regional Aggregation Module (http://www.newmoa.org/measurement/) will generate an aggregated report for the entire region. The system will also allow individual programs to view a report for their agency; however, agency-specific data will only be available to representatives of that agency who are logged into the system. Included in the reports are measures such as the following:

-Activity measures from agencies (such as trainings conducted)

-Behavioral results (such as clients reporting compliance improvements)

-Outcome measures (such as hazardous waste reduced)

By presenting aggregated data on a regional and national basis, programs can give managers, funders, and the public a better sense of the benefits of pollution prevention. The aggregation system will provide numbers to substantiate the benefits, such as reduced public health risk, improved environmental health, improved business performance, increased levels of sustainable business practices, and improved local and regional economic vitality.
