Indigenous development: the role of philanthropy & NGOs

Janet Hunt (Fellow, CAEPR) & Jerry Schwab (Fellow, CAEPR)


Abstract:
Over the course of the past decade, the Howard government has worked 
on several fronts to shift perceptions and policies that were 
grounded in assumptions that government is ultimately responsible for 
providing a social safety net for disadvantaged Australians, toward a 
very different view that individuals, businesses and philanthropic 
foundations should play a more prominent role in addressing and 
ensuring social and economic well-being. While some observers might 
view these changes as cynical attempts at cost shifting, it is clear 
that with these changes have come new opportunities to support 
community-based economic and social development. In this seminar we 
will explore how philanthropic and non-government organisations might 
bring resources, knowledge and experience to bear on the needs of 
Australia's most disadvantaged citizens, Indigenous Australians. 
Specifically, we will attempt to map the field of engagement of 
philanthropic donors and development-focused non-government 
organisations with Indigenous communities; we will describe the 
resources they contribute, what knowledge they bring and what roles 
they have played in the past (and could play in future) in working 
with Indigenous communities.
