That's very interesting. I will certainly look for more information on this.
Yesterday, we met with some people from one community who told us that in order to obtain results they had to think outside the box. I worked in the community sector and I know the usual way of thinking, which is that when there is a subsidy program, the organizations fight to obtain money.
Yesterday, the people from that community told us that there is now a new paradigm. They sit down together in order to see how best to use the available sums of money. Sometimes an organization will even say that it has money it won't be using, and then the various organizations together examine how another one of them could best use those subsidies.
Based on your experience working with various organizations, do you think that we have to rethink how we establish programs in communities, and design a mechanism to ask them how they want to get organized to meet their needs and find their own solutions?
