Goals
The initial goals of
Work Raft are:
1. To develop
and deliver resources that will help community organisations throughout
New Zealand establish successful initiatives utilising information and
communication technology. These resources are packaged within a Framework
for Accessing Community IT Solutions.
2. To establish
and implement an "Eco Tech City" campaign in Waitakere City. This will
entail driving the campaign’s vision, working with community and local
government groups, community consultation, project identification and
management, and liaison with other active organisations and individuals.
Later goals will
include active support for Framework resources, awareness raising, Group
Support products, ICT in the Community advice, telework-related
initiatives, and (possibly) Regional and National campaigns. Work Raft
will also seek to identify and respond to additional community demands and
interests as these are expressed.
Deliverables
For the Framework, the
initial deliverable will be a comprehensive, modular workbook, freely
available to all interested parties.
For Waitakere’s Eco Tech City, the
initial deliverables will be a ‘campaign’ comprising a responsive project
framework and a proactive channel for involvement, multi-way communication
and support.
Outcomes
The work of Work Raft
will have a variety of outcomes, within specific communities, nationally,
and within Waitakere City:
-
Higher numbers of
cost-effective, sustainable ICT projects and initiatives
-
Improved access to
information, training, and development opportunities
-
Enhanced civic
participation and involvement in the democratic process
-
Better understanding
of the role ICT can play within the development of our society
These outcomes can
also be expressed as more jobs, higher employment, more skilled people,
sustainable communities and savings of more than $500,000 (per community,
per annum) in avoidable benefit payments.
