Government press release-
Social Development Minister Paula Bennett today announced funding to strengthen the social sector through the new Capability Investment Resource.“This is the first round out of a total of $31.65 million in funding, aimed at building a stronger, adaptable and more integrated social sector” said Bennet.
The first round of the Capability Investment Resource provides $1.7 million for 233 organisations to use for organisational capability self-assessments and/or planning with Capability Mentors.
“Some groups may benefit from technical assistance, like help with accounting systems, whereas others may need help building networks and collaboration with other community organisations,” says Mrs. Bennett.
The first stages of the Capability Investment Resource will help providers assess where they need to make improvements, create a concrete plan of action and make it happen.
Maybe someone with a better grounding in bureaucratic double speak can translate the above into something a common man like myself can understand. Then perhaps I will be able to figure out just what it is the taxpayer is getting for his/her $31.6 million. The full press release is here.

One response to “$31.65 million for what exactly?????”
Just more money down the drain to try to get Maoris and PI’s up to speed. The belief that we are all equal and that colour is only skin deep leads to this madness and the search for the holy grail of equality in outcomes. Where I come from they have dumbed down the education time and time again, they lowered the pass mark to 30%………….and still some schools have 100% failure rates. Unbelievable.
