The NCJA project team reviewed the 2018 Strategic Plan submitted by the Colorado SAA. This plan was submitted in the year prior to the new strategic planning requirement mandated by the Justice for All Reauthorization Act for 2019 applications.
Plan Strengths:
The plan is well defined with outcomes and goals generally with a plan for more specific measures to come from sub-grantees. Survey data, research and use of councils and committees provide relevant and timely information with a strong stakeholder engagement approach. The breakdown of the subgrantees is clearly defined. The plan clearly outlines best practices with the use of data and how the data will be collected within a system regularly. A clear plan for ongoing reviews is clearly outlined.
Plan Opportunities:
1) Not a lot of information on barriers for collecting data
2) Although there is a clear plan for subgrantees to submit their data and outcomes, specific measurable goals are not outlined at a state level. It may be helpful to include more specific SMART state goals to include baseline data to show how successful the outcomes will be in the future.
3) Funds seem to be identified by subgrantee type; however, I do not see a breakdown of how funds will be allocated by priority type or by JAG grants vs other funds.
4) There is not a plan or outline to address changing circumstances.
5) 2014 survey data is extremely useful however moving forward might become outdated, some fresh survey information could be helpful.
