MHA+ Funded Projects

MHA+ ring-fences funding to support service development and projects as part of our business planning. Projects range from a half-day workshop on highway inspection criteria to more in-depth work on national priorities, such as climate change adaptation, with outcomes that map to Constructing the Gold Standard.

Why we fund projects

The 2020 merger increased the expertise available across MHA+, and through project funding, we aim to:

  • maximise and encourage the sharing of expertise
  • identify best practice
  • work with subject matter experts
  • support service improvement
  • minimise duplication
  • procure expertise when needed

Service Improvement Groups (SIGs) and other groups have reviewed their terms of reference and merged activities, including procuring services from external suppliers, in line with our approach to efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
