Developing an Inclusion Framework for Local Development, and Services Planning
To ensure everyone in our community has access to council planning, development initiatives, and essential services, a comprehensive Inclusion Framework is being developed. This framework will be built through a multi-step process. First, a steering committee will be established, followed by a needs assessment to identify areas for improvement. Research and learning from best practices in inclusion will also be conducted. Open discussions with people with special needs will be central to understanding their specific requirements. Once a draft framework is prepared, it will be presented for public consultation and feedback. Following adoption and dissemination, the framework will be piloted and monitored to ensure its effectiveness. To empower council members and the community, capacity building and training programs will be offered. Partnerships with relevant organizations will also be established to foster collaboration. Through continuous monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation, this framework will ensure the government serves all residents inclusively.
