Abstract: This Final Report provides a narrative account of activities and outcomes against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) associated with the implementation of the Whole of Community Engagement (WCE) initiative led through the Office of Pro Vice Chancellor – Indigenous Leadership at Charles Darwin University (CDU). The WCE has been funded through the Higher Education Participation and Partnership Program of the Australian Government Department of Education. The report provides a summary account of the planning and implementation of activities in each of the six remote and very remote communities of focus together with overall commentary. This Report builds on information contained in the previous five WCE Progress Reports previously submitted to the Australian Government during: July 2014, November 2014, June 2015, November 2015 and June 2016. This document generally reports against two separate streams of implementation. Work progressed by CDU staff to meet the WCE Aim and Objectives; and work progressed by the North Australian Institute of Indigenous Land and Sea Management (NAILSMA) relating to building educational aspiration and pathways specifically associated with Indigenous land and sea management. Reporting against a smaller project led by the Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods (RIEL) associated with the development of an Indigenous fire curriculum specific to Northern Australian contexts is also included. This report is not an evaluation report, and is best read in tandem with Appendix 2: Final Evaluation Report of the Whole of Community Engagement initiative, alongside the six Community Evaluation Reports (Appendices: 3 to 8).
