Late last year we asked our members and those with whom we work closely to respond to a survey to give us feedback about what we’ve done over the years to help us assess what our focus and priorities could be as Social Development Partners.
Here’s what you told us.
Most of what we do and are known for is considered both important as well as highly-rated.
In terms of our role—
- Most important—‘Building awareness of sector issues’ and ‘Advice & submissions to government’.
- Most satisfied—‘Building awareness of sector issues’ and ‘Informed comment on a variety of issues’.
- There was a slight preference of our 3 advocacy-related roles over our collaboration and capacity-building roles.
Of the many activities we undertake, much the same was reflected:
- Our advocacy, online communications, Keeping it Legal, TechSoup and ComVoices all scored very highly in terms of both satisfaction and importance. Our online communications recorded the highest level of satisfaction overall.
- Our least valued activities were Collaborative Voices, HotHouse and Connecting Communities. Generally these were specific, although very successful, events that were either new or had a limited audience.
The two top issues likely to impact on organisations in the next 2-3 years were ‘decreased funding’ and ‘government policy’. 100% of respondents reported ‘decreased funding’ as their one top issue.
