Two Way Governance: Presentation 1
ABOUT THE TWO-WAY
GOVERNANCE RESOURCE
In 2012 the Australian Government Department
of Families, Housing, Community Services &
Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) commissioned
Ninti One to work with two remote Aboriginal
Communities to try to address one of the key
governance-related issues in Indigenous
communities - the lack of understanding of the
processes, management and structure of
government.
Ninti One research teams (including Ninti
Aboriginal Community Researchers) in Ntaria
and Galiwin’ku held a number of workshops,
focus groups and talked with many community
leaders and local community members. These
included representatives of the Local Reference
Groups, staff from Australian and Territory
government departments and agencies and
Central Desert and East Arnhem Shire Councils.
The Two-way Governance Resource has been
designed to support and promote two way
learning and informed decision making (related
to mainstream governance) in remote
Aboriginal Communities in the Northern
Territory.
It is designed to get people talking about and
practicing good governance.
We hope you find it useful and enjoy using it.
