Description

Australian organisations, NGOs (Non-Government Organisations), religious groups, secular charities and AusAID, the government development assistance organisation, all have played important roles in the Pacific Islands. Representatives of these and other groups will provide practical accounts of their experiences "doing development" in the Pacific, along with readings and reflection on what their experience means in terms of the impact of modernity on the region. The particular Australian role in Pacific affairs and its meanings is featured.
