The integration agenda

This first Sector Signal from Mowat NFP looks at the current climate of fiscal restraint, and the implications for that part of the NFP sector that provides government services. Various levels of government and other funders have positioned “integration” as a key strategy to achieve more efficient and effective service delivery. This report highlights different approaches to integration that have been developed, challenges and benefits of each, and makes recommendations on the way forward. While the report is focused on the experience in Ontario, the context and challenges are shared across the country.
