Between 2000 and 2006 Dosti was funding through agreements with central government via Government Office for the West Midlands. Dosti Action Plans had to respond to specific aims of the government programme and Dosti was required to carry out an annual self-assessment using a Performance Management Framework.

 

Since April 2006 Dosti has been funded through an agreement with the Dudley Community Partnership, and has had more freedom in relation to the Action Plan. 

 

Dosti's core budget of around £120,000 is used primarily to fund 2 full time members of staff and thier support. The remaining third of the budget is used to resource communications, meetings, training, events and development work (e.g. the Axis of Influence).

 

A breakdown of the budget is provided in the action plan available in on our downloads page.
