State of the Sector 2024 report
Community Networks Aotearoa has released the 2024 State of the Sector research, marking 10 years of in-depth analysis into the state of the for-purpose sector.
This latest research reveals that many community organisations continue to struggle despite their resilience and dedication to serving their communities. The findings highlight significant challenges such as shrinking funding, stagnant or declining contracts, and increased difficulty in delivering high-quality services due to rising demands.
From the key findings:
- 77% of organisations are experiencing an increase in demand for their services/activities (organisational capacity findings)
- Only 39% of organisations have been able to increase the number of staff they have, compared to two years ago. (people capacity findings)
