Increasing use of nongovernmental resources

Making use of nongovernmental resources

Description

Increasing use of nongovernmental resources involves mobilizing the expertise, funding, and services of private organizations, community groups, and individuals to address societal needs more effectively. This strategy aims to supplement or replace limited governmental capacity, accelerate problem-solving, and foster innovation by leveraging diverse skills and assets. It remedies gaps in public provision, enhances responsiveness to local conditions, and encourages sustainable, community-driven solutions to complex social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Claim

There is no uniquely correct balance between public and private activity. However governments reduce their ability to broaden access to education and health, for example, when they discourage private initiatives. Relaxing government restrictions on use of private resources can mobilize new resources.
