Description
Public Funds, Private Provision analyzes the respective roles
of government and the voluntary sector in the financing and
administration of social services. Focusing on development in British
Columbia from 1983 to 1991, when the Social Credit government actively
pursued a policy of privatization, this book examines the growth of the
voluntary sector there and presents data which track the impact of
privatization on services. It examines the issues of funding and
accountability of the voluntary sector as it adopts the public agent
role and increasingly delivers services on behalf of government.
