Title: Regional Planning Community Capacity Building


1
Regional Planning Community Capacity Building
  • Overview

2
What is Building Community Capacity?
  • Capacity buildingdescribes activity to enhance
    leadership skills, group problem solving,
    collaborative methods, and substantive
    understanding of community assets, problems and
    opportunities among organized, participating
    community residents.
  • (McNeely, 1996, p.87 in Mattessich and Roy,
    1997, p.62)

What is Building Community Capacity?
  • Community organizing is a long-term,
    relationship-building and capacity-building
    process that attempts to identify, include, and
    build upon a range of key resources, both
    internal and external to the communityThe
    process includes the identification of key local
    resources, the gathering of information about the
    community context, the development and training
    of local leaders to prepare them to serve
    effectively as representatives of the community
    and as full partners in an initiative, and the
    strengthening of the network of the various
    interests both internal and external to a
    community.
  • (Joseph and Ogletree, 1996 in
    Mattessich and Roy, 1997, p.60)

Regional Planning Approach for all Childrens
Services
  • The South East Region proposing that funding
    allocated to community capacity building for each
    initiative (Child Welfare, Best Start) be pooled
    to develop a regional approach that would include
    all children and youth services.
  • This would allow for the development of a region
    wide community capacity building table that would
    eventually evolve into a community planning table
    for children and youth services.

5
Regional Planning Approach for all Childrens
Services
  • The table will give advice and make
    recommendations to the community and the Regional
    Office.
  • The specific role of the Regional Planning Table
    will be developed in an evolutionary/community
    development fashion.

6
Vision
  • The goal is to create a rational, sustainable
    approach to planning and capacity building for
    children aged 0 to 18 years encompassing child
    welfare, childrens mental health, developmental
    services and the Best Start initiative.
  • The intended outcome is that services for
    children and youth across the region are provided
    in an equitable, timely and appropriate manner to
    meet needs.

7
Current Context
  • Community capacity building initiatives are
    underway for the Best Start and Child Welfare
    Transformation initiatives. Additional
    requirements for capacity building are
    anticipated in childrens mental health and
    developmental services.
  • Community planning committees exist in various
    stages of development in 4 established planning
    zones for child welfare, mental health and
    developmental services.
  • There is also work in progress for Best Start in
    5 planning zones based on the Consolidated
    Municipal Service Manager divisions.

8
The Plan
  • The Regional Planning Coordinator will facilitate
    the establishment of 4 zone planning tables and a
    regional planning table for all children and
    youth services.
  • The regional structure will evolve through a
    community development process from its initial
    focus on capacity building into a planning body
    that provides advice to the community and the
    Regional Office.

9
Zone Planning Tables
  • Planning and capacity building will be grounded
    by the 4 multi-service zone tables in
  • Hastings and Prince Edward
  • Frontenac Lennox and Addington
  • Lanark
  • Leeds Grenville
  • Accommodations will be required to integrate the
    five planning zones for Best Start.

    Service Managers, domestic violence, child care,

Purpose of Community Profiles
  • Specific information that will provide service
    providers, parents, professionals, and
    organizations to identify areas of strength and
    vulnerability in the population of young
    children.
  • Reveal gaps and indicate the changes needed
  • Paint a clearer picture of the neighbourhood
    environments in which our children are growing.
  • Serve as a planning tool for service providers to
    facilitate opportunities to respond to identified
    needs and gaps.

15
Purpose of Community Profiles
  • Become a measuring tool to track improvements in
    the situation of children over time and help
    prompt and guide further research in this area.
  • Initiate ongoing collaborative efforts between
    community members, groups, and organizations
    involved in child development
  • Serve as a the catalyst in building awareness of
    the needs of children in our community.
  • Stimulate community action to help children get
    the best possible start in life. We can all be a
    part of the solution.

    funded agencies service agreements to include in
    the report as an appendix.
  • Items such as Number of children in care,
    caseload statistics, child care subsidy etc.

20
Regional Planning Role
  • The regional planning table will be led by the
    Regional Planning Coordinator and will have
    representation from each of the zone planning
    tables.
  • It will function as an advisory body to the
    Regional Office. Ultimately, the regional
    planning table must

21
Regional Planning Role
  • Provide a regional approach to meeting the needs
    of children across zones, across program streams
    and across sectors (social services, health,
    education) while reflecting the uniqueness of the
    individual zones
  • Be comprehensive in priority setting and planning
    for the spectrum of services (prevention,
    intervention, treatment) and programs for
    children and families
  • Develop a capacity to collate and analyze data
    from various sources

22
Regional Planning Role
  • Set priorities for services and activities based
    on available data and information about effective
    practices
  • Provide advice to the Ministry on matters
    including allocation of resources based on needs
    of children rather than program boundaries
  • Assist the Ministry and the four planning zones
    in managing cross-sector service delivery
    functions notably case resolution mechanisms and
    the allocation of resources for children with
    complex special needs.
