Action Plan | Expected Completion Date |
Program Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. To increase its ability to identify and reach communities in need and better align efforts with regional strategies, INAC should: a. Continue to strengthen relationships with INAC Regional Offices. b. Continue to seek opportunities to work with provincial and territorial climate change offices. |
Future programming (subject to renewal) will formalize information exchange processes and seek opportunities to work more closely with INAC Regional Offices and other jurisdictions | Completion: March 31, 2012 |
Status: Underway Update/Rationale: As of 30/09/2011: AANDC has set up monthly calls with regional offices. Individual calls with individual regions will be set up following program renewal to discuss process for project funding 8 regional engagement in review and decision-making process. AES: In progress, moving in the right direction |
| 2. To increase communities' awareness of funding opportunities, secure a broader range of applicants and better target funding, INAC should:
a. Continue to proactively inform individual communities of funding opportunities. b. Solicit applications through a formal call for proposals. |
Future programming (subject to renewal) will a) develop a communications strategy to target and inform communities of funding opportunities; b) solicit applications through a formal call for proposals |
Completion: March 31, 2012 |
Status: Completed Update/Rationale: As of 30/09/2011: AANDC has set up a formal call for proposal process, which will be launched in November 2011 (for year 2012-13). The program is completing a study that will help better target communication on the program to the most vulnerable communities. The communication strategy for the program was approved in September 2011. AES: Recommend to close. |
| 3. To provide Aboriginal and northern communities with one-window access to funding opportunities, INAC should explore opportunities for coordinating its call for proposals and application processes with other similar programs. | Future programming (subject to renewal) will work closely with federal departments delivering complementary programs to more closely align the call for proposal and proposal application processes. | Completion: March 31, 2012 |
Status: Underway Update/Rationale: As of 30/09/2011: AANDC's application process has been coordinated with HC-FNIHB's process; both programs will contribute to the other's review process. Monthly meetings will be scheduled. AANDC is collaborating with other departments through the work under the Adaptation Theme's sub working groups. AES: In progress, moving in the right direction |
| 4. To take advantage of the climate change adaptation research that has been completed, INAC should find additional ways to share results across communities through, for example, integrating data into the Government of Canada's International Polar Year database. | Future programming (subject to renewal) will work closely with communities to facilitate information exchange | Completion: March 31, 2012 |
Status: Underway Update/Rationale: As of 30/09/2011: The program is working with the Polar Data Catalogue to integrate project results. The program is working with key partners to organize a national workshop on adaptation targeted to communities eligible for project funding. AES: In progress, moving in the right direction |
