Abstract

Traditional funding models such as the proposal-based bid system do not meet the needs of Indigenous populations and communities. Issues include competitive funding models, lack of local, regional and federal government collaboration, the absence of community-level decision making, onerous reporting requirements, unmet needs, and funding inequities between on- and off-reserve populations.
