I refer to the ‘Putting the Public First’ Economic Audit Committee report of October 2009, and in particular to recommendation 15 which was to, -
‘Streamline the administration of grants (not necessarily reducing the number of agencies administering them) by -
(a) replacing the existing range of grants and grant programs with a smaller number of ‘broad-banded’ grant programs; and
(b) developing centralised systems and support for grants administration to facilitate online applications, monitoring and reporting’,
and ask -
(1) Which of the following milestones contained in recommendation 15 have been achieved -
(a) adopt guiding principles for grants reform (March 2010); and
(b) identify initial target agencies for reform and a timeframe for the roll out of reform across all Agencies (March 2010)?
(2) If any of the above milestones contained in recommendation 15 have not been achieved, why not?
(3) Will the following milestones contained in recommendation 15 be achieved, -
(a) ensure at least 80 percent of all grants are managed through the revised arrangements (January 2012);
(b) ensure Agencies which administer small grant programs utilise the existing infrastructure of larger grant giving Agencies for administrative support (January 2012); and
(c) develop and implement a common grants administration system across Government (December 2012)?
