This programme presents guidance and recommendations for the public sector to enable and foster social action. Social actions refer to people investing their time and other resources to help the community and provide to the common good. This can range from volunteering and community-owned services to community organising or simple neighbourly acts (e.g., tutoring, helping with groceries, organising community activites, first response volunteers, etc.). Therefore, social action is about people coming together to solve problems in their communities and help improve lives. Whilst many of these social activities are initiated by community members themselves without the support of the public sector, some require more specific support from the public sector. The Enabling Social Action Programme defines guidance and a framework of tools to engage with society to 1. capitalize social networks & relationships; 2. Empower governance and leadership (including formulas to engage with government authorities/ public sector); 3. facilitates resource allocation -i.e. clarifying the source and sustainability of resources. Therefore, the aim of this program is to provide learning and resources for commissioners and other public sector leaders to enable social action.
