Prior to CSR, funding agencies are being asked
to consider:
• Is the activity essential to meet Government priorities?
• Does the Government need to fund this activity?
• Does the activity provide substantial economic value?
• Can the activity be targeted to those most in need?
• How can the activity be provided at lower cost?
• How can the activity be provided more effectively?
• Can the activity be provided by a non-state provider or by citizens,
wholly, or in partnership?
• Can non-state providers be paid to carry out the activity according
to the results they achieve?
• Can local bodies, as opposed to central Government, provide the
activity?
