Funding and governance of library and information services for visually impaired people: international case studies

Part2:Country studies

Overlaps - are they a problem?

The organisations involved have clear roles and responsibilities because they either support through funding or participate in projects.

The public libraries are about to start their services in cooperation with Dedicon.

The charity foundations are very aware of their role and the possible overlap with the subsidising Ministry. There is always a cross check on this.

Universities participate in projects based on proper project descriptions whereby possible overlap can be traced.

The main change has been in the role of public libraries: see above.
