description:

Resourcing is important to consider in designing and implementing strategies

context:

The design of the Strategy did not see an accompanying budget developed to support its implementation. As such, resources for implementation have had to be sourced from existing budget from responsible departments.

success:

There has been good use of the resources available, including the provision of technical support to departments. GEDI was able to identify budget for certain activities for other departments, such as ensuring the accessible procurement guide could be read by screen readers. This does though mean this budget cannot be used by GEDI in their technical support to constituents.

challenges:

There are several challenges caused by the lack of budget. Custodian departments have identified different actions needed to meet the targets of the Strategy but have not always had the budget to carry out these actions. From a human resources perspective, the Disability Inclusion team has limited human resources and specific disability experts are not present in the field. There also is not a diversity and inclusion position in HRD. Programmatically, the limitations to date of ensuring DWCPs and CPOs are disability inclusive limits the opportunities for obtaining bilateral funding for disability inclusion projects.

administrative_issues:

Budgeting and cost estimations to achieve Strategy targets should be considered in the design of the next phase of the Strategy and included in subsequent P&Bs.
