Equality and Human Rights Fund Webinar 2 – Fund Context (video and transcription)
Slide 1 – Introduction
Hello, my name’s Gemma and I’m a member of the Equality and Human Rights Team at Inspiring Scotland. This is the second in a series of five short videos about the Equality and Human Rights Fund.
Slide 2 – Scottish Government National Performance Framework
The Equality and Human Rights Fund is operating within the context of the Scottish Government’s National Performance Framework. This framework sets out the Scottish Governments purpose and values through 10 national outcomes.
Slide 3 – National Performance Framework, continued
The framework reflects our values as a nation and aspirations for our future. The National Performance Framework also incorporates Scotland’s commitment to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals which aim to improve wellbeing across the world.
Equality and human rights are core to making real progress towards all the national performance outcomes. In particular the outcome ‘we respect, protect and fulfil human rights and live free from discrimination’ is echoed in the vision for this fund.
Slide 4 – Scottish Government Strategies and Action plans
Sitting underneath the National Performance Framework is a range of national strategies and action plans. Some of these are listed in the guidance notes and it’s important to be familiar with these if you plan to apply to the Equality and Human Rights Fund.
They include things like:
All these plans are at different stages of development and delivery. The Fund will support organisations to contribute to them as well as any subsequent plans. The list in the guidance notes isn’t exhaustive and the Fund could also support work in other areas where there isn’t currently an overarching strategy. It is, however, very important you think about the work you want funded in the context of national government outcomes and action.

In simple terms a strategy is a plan of what you need to do, to get from where you are now to where you want to go. When looking to tackle creating a strategy plan for the first time it can be overwhelming.
