Looks at twelve concepts that emerged from a study of staff working with Aboriginal organizations in poverty stricken neighborhoods, as well as the need for support from funders and administrators.
Barriers included lack of access to legitimate, affordable financial services and capital, absence of employment and benefits systems, increased consequences of poor decisions, lack of trust in financial institutions, and structural problems created by relationship with the government. Recommends efforts focus on educating individuals through culturally appropriate training, and building capacity of Aboriginal governments and institutions.
