Guiding them in identifying and advancing innovative, results-oriented solutions to pressing social problems. CJMPA focuses on advancing evidence-based knowledge in the field, connecting stakeholders to a supportive network, and providing practical support and guidance to public sector innovators committed to advancing the work of the social sector.
Government leaders, administrators, and employees are public innovators ~ officials who open the door to greater innovation and accountability in social problem-solving by adopting six key roles to breed transformative change.
01
Encourage Social Innovation
Public innovators can encourage social innovation and help spur the testing of promising new approaches to solving social problems.
02
Foster a Supportive Policy Environment
Innovation often leads social sector entrepreneurs into uncharted territory, where they face unexpected barriers. Public innovators can help remove these barriers by lending credibility, drawing attention to issues or initiatives, and helping proven models gain momentum.
03
Reward Social Sector Organizations for Exceptional Performance
Reliable funding is essential for effective solutions. In today's political landscape, linking funding decisions to performance metrics ensures solutions sustain and expand their impact.
04
Scale Successful Approaches
Governments play a key role in identifying and spreading effective solutions. Expanding proven solutions is crucial for transformative impact, but gaining recognition, support, and funding for scaling remains challenging.
05
Produce Knowledge to Comprehend Performance
Governments already serve as a vital source of data and standards. Public innovators can enhance this role by ensuring knowledge is generated, standards are clarified, and data is made easily accessible.
06
Catalyze Public-Private Partnerships Across Sectors and Sub-Sectors
Public leaders who harness resources from various sectors and successfully engage diverse stakeholders can achieve a far greater impact than solutions confined to a single institution, sector, or community.
