SAMHSA’s Three Strategic Goals: Accountability, Capacity, and Effectiveness (ACE)
SAMHSA has streamlined its operations and has developed a strategy that allows it to pursue its mission as a one-SAMHSA in the most deliberate manner possible. The Strategic Plan is designed around three "ACE" goals:
- Accountability
- Capacity
- Effectiveness
The Accountability goal targets results with regard to programs, policies, and practices that SAMHSA promulgates through grants, contracts, and knowledge dissemination. It ensures that appropriate data collection is established for the purposes of measuring performance and managing agency processes. The Capacity goal reflects SAMHSA's activities to build the infrastructure that provides mental health and substance abuse services throughout the Nation. SAMHSA's block and formula grants are key components of SAMHSA's efforts to achieve its Capacity goal. The Effectiveness goal focuses on ensuring that the infrastructure that delivers mental health and substance abuse services promotes policies, programs, and practices that are evidence-based. SAMHSA's science-to-services activities, knowledge dissemination, and orientation toward best practices help it achieve its Effectiveness goal.
