Aid agency funds to be tightened - 2015
Quote:
Some agencies are expected to close in a radical revamp of social service funding unveiled by Social Development Minister Anne Tolley.
A new "community investment strategy", published yesterday, will focus most public funding of non-government social services on three priorities:
- Supporting vulnerable children and children in hardship and reducing maltreatment.
- Supporting vulnerable young people, including youth offenders, and reducing youth crime.
- Supporting adult victims/survivors, addressing perpetrators' behaviour, and reducing violent crime.
