Overview
Each challenge follows a structured three-year cycle designed to drive meaningful change. This cycle ensures that our work is thoughtful, collaborative, and focused on long-term outcomes.
1
Identify
We begin by pinpointing a critical public issue that needs attention.
2
Research & Collaborate
Through in-depth research and active engagement with stakeholders, we explore the issue from all angles.
3
Recommend
Based on our findings, we develop and present informed recommendations to government and key decision-makers.
4
Monitor
We then track the implementation and impact of these recommendations, ensuring accountability and continued progress.
What is the Three Challenges Initiative?
The Three Challenges Initiative was launched in 2024 in response to the 2023 State of the Child Report, which identified key issues affecting New Brunswick’s children and youth.
The initiative is designed to:
Explore and document challenges through Challenge Papers
Convene stakeholders, experts, and community members for forums and workshops
Develop actionable solutions in Call to Action Reports
Maintain focus on past challenges by periodically monitoring report recommendations
