Re-Profiling
Printer-friendly version Guided by the NNADAP Renewal framework of March 2001, it is the mission of the National Native Addictions Partnership Foundation and its regional partners and service delivery partners to:
Advocate, develop, facilitate and monitor strategies designed to continuously upgrade and enhance the quality of ideas, information, program methodologies, financial allocations and skills of service providers comprising the program.
The renewal of NNADAP involves both continuation of the strengths of past practices and updating and upgrading, through program alterations and new initiatives. Intended to promote efforts that achieve standards of best practices while reflecting cultural sensitivity, these "new initiatives" may be of several types, for example:
- New coordination and training that demonstrate new models of prevention and intervention
- Actual experimentation with new prevention and intervention methods
- Programming designed to specifically address the unmet needs of special client groups
- Initiatives taken to round out a full continuum of care
Based on consultations and deliberations, NNAPF has set priorities for system re-profiling. To provide financial support based on these priorities, and on eligibility criteria, NNAPF has developed a call for proposal, aimed at the existing service delivery network.
This call for proposal is to be considered a first stage of a program re-profiling process that will upgrade and update the program delivery quality of services to First Nations and Inuit people in Canada.
The Board of NNAPF has established a group of experts to read, review and provide the Board with a summary appraisal of the submitted proposals. On the basis of that advice in the appraisals and of further internal deliberations and staff queries, the Board will approve funding to successful applicants.
