Departmental Results Framework 2023 to 2024
Table of contents
Core Responsibility: Indigenous Well-Being and Self-Determination
Well-being services support First Nations, Inuit, and Métis individuals, children and families throughout their life from childhood to elder years.
- These services are informed by the social determinants of health and are intended to fulfill the Departmental mandate to close socioeconomic gaps through services that include culturally appropriate physical and mental health; safety and social wellness; and education.
- Community well-being is part of a continuum that extends to the environment and the land. These services work together to create sustainable infrastructure and environments; and economic prosperity.
- Support for governance capacity advances self-determination and enables opportunities for service transfer. Service transfer in partnership with Indigenous Peoples extends across all service areas to support Indigenous self-determination in alignment with the Departmental Mandate.
