This document discusses the concepts of ends-based accountability (EBA) and outcomes-based accountability (OBA). It provides instructions for an exercise to draw a star without specifying the steps, demonstrating that providing people with the intended outcomes or "ends" allows them to determine the appropriate "means" or processes to achieve those ends. RBA/OBA focuses on starting with desired outcomes and working backwards to identify effective strategies, rather than being overly prescriptive about the specific means or methods.
