A Social Sector Recovery Plan to ensure a coordinated approach to social sector recovery over the medium term
04 September 2023.
The paper sought Cabinet agreement to the Social Sector Recovery Plan (the Plan), which sets out the approach of the social sector to recovery from the recent North Island extreme weather events and brings together activities to ensure a coordinated approach to social sector recovery across government. The Plan aims to ensure that recovery activity and investment is targeted towards areas of need in a way that supports regional priorities.
The paper also sought Cabinet agreement to draw down a first tranche of $20.65 million from the $30 million social sector recovery tagged contingency, which was secured through the North Island Weather Events Response and Recovery Package to support implementation of the Plan. The first tranche of funding will be used to fund actions under the Plan for which there is currently no agreed funding source.
