Every page on this site that addresses Annual Funding Cycle as part of its analysis. Pages can sit anywhere in the structure — feedback loops, system traps, interventions, or reference material — and may treat the concept centrally or as a supporting mechanism. Read in any order.
To see all concepts at once, go to the concepts hub.
- The Funding Uncertainty Trap Annual budget cycles drive short-term contracts, which drive staff turnover, which destroys programme knowledge. Confirmed by Audit Wales.
- Intervention 5: Break the Annual Trap Multi-year funding tied to the programme, not the organisation. Prevents leadership from using multi-year funding as a shield while giving programmes the continuity they need.
- Intervention 6: Reform the Funder Capital and revenue coherence, RAG honesty, milestone realism, remit-letter discipline. Without reforming Welsh Government's role as funder and overseer, replacing DHCW's leadership reproduces the same conditions for any successor body.
