Increasing use of nongovernmental resources

Making use of nongovernmental resources

Description

Increasing use of nongovernmental resources involves mobilizing and integrating the expertise, funding, and services of private organizations, community groups, and individuals to address societal needs more effectively. This strategy aims to supplement or compensate for limitations in governmental capacity, enhance innovation, and ensure more flexible, locally responsive solutions. By leveraging diverse resources, it remedies gaps in public provision, accelerates problem-solving, and fosters sustainable development through broader stakeholder engagement and resource diversification.

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.
