The First Nations Investment Framework is a guide to good practice in working with First Nations people and communities on the design, appraisal and evaluation of initiatives.

This Framework supports informed design, prioritisation and funding of initiatives and sets out five steps for working with First Nations people to achieve this. These are relevant to both First Nations-specific initiatives and general ones that impact on First Nations people and communities.

The Framework supplements the NSW Government’s existing policies and guidance for building evidence across the investment lifecycle, from initial business case development through to all types of post-implementation evaluation.
