The Importance of Effective Fund Allocation

The podcast emphasizes the significance of optimizing funding in the social sector, particularly in New Zealand where over $60 billion is allocated annually. There is concern about the lack of understanding regarding the effectiveness of this spending, leading to inefficient uses of resources. Improved strategies in funding allocation could enhance essential services such as affordable housing, healthcare, and education. By focusing on Social Return on Investment (SROI), organizations can ensure that their investments lead to measurable benefits for communities.
