Aboriginal-led development in Australia
The Centre for Human Security and Social Change has been supporting Aboriginal-led development programs in Indigenous Australia for more than 10 years. Drawing on this experience, the Centre has produced several reports, journal articles and opinion pieces as listed below. These resources explore what Aboriginal-led development looks like with a particular focus on Aboriginal-led approaches to monitoring and evaluation. If you have any questions about any of these resources, then please contact us at socialchange@latrobe.edu.au.
