strategic intervention definition
strategic intervention means a policy initiative supported by a study that sets out the details of the nature, aims, benefits and costs of the intervention; and
strategic intervention in this context in fact means ‘restricted Indigenous participation’ at a governmental and priority-setting level. Priorities are determined by outsiders (governments), and only then are the insiders (the community) invited to participate in the detailed planning and implementation. This does not appear to provide a sound basis for ‘ownership’ of initiatives undertaken as part of such strategic interventions.
