A full appreciation of Ninti One requires
an understanding of the way it is structured.
To operate effectively in remote Australia, we must work at ground
level and take into account the broader social, environmental
and cultural factors specific to the region. Your network needs to
span a continent, yet reach those who live in remote communities.
Your team needs unique knowledge of the land and its people and
an understanding of economic development at all levels from local
to national.
This is the tough challenge that Ninti One meets daily. With more
than sixty partners across Australia who facilitate our work, we are
well-placed to deliver long-lasting results that make a difference from
the ground up.
We engage with researchers from universities and tertiary institutions
across the country and employ Aboriginal Community Researchers who
can reach local communities like no-one else can.
Ninti One has both the expertise and resources to coordinate projects
of varying types and complexities. We achieve our results by taking a
whole-of-systems approach to our work. This means we take into account

the impact of ninti one
Ninti One’s organisational focus is on having a positive
impact
.
This means generating things that contribute to and enhance social
functioning and wellbeing for people in remote Australia. It means
demonstrable improvements in people’s lives and expansion of
their options.
Many of Ninti One’s impacts are in the form of ‘public goods’ from which
benefits are diffused widely among individuals and communities and
over time, making them very difficult to measure. Even where tangible
impacts can be readily identified, the sparseness of markets in remote
Australia means that prices do not always show the value of alternative
uses of those resources.
Despite this, Ninti One has invested in detailed evaluation of the
costs and impacts of selected projects. This evaluation shows that
since its inception in 2003, Ninti One has
THE IMPACT NINTI ONE ACHIEVES IS CLASSIFIED INTO FIVE SPHERES:
complex, multidisciplinary factors that contribute to a situation and then
seek and apply tailored solutions. Our processes are anchored firmly to
community engagement and feedback.
It is a proven system which ensures that the best and most appropriate
expertise is applied to a particular project and that local knowledge is
closely integrated.
NINTI ONE IS A UNIQUE ORGANISATION: FOR THE GOALS IT SETS ITSELF,
ITS METHOD OF WORKING AND FOR THE SHEER VASTNESS OF THE AREA
IN WHICH IT OPERATES.
