At a meeting of the Aotearoa-Pacific committee in May 2004 there was convergence that to focus on governance as a major project over 2 years. In the discussion it was envisaged that we would convene a wananga/symposium, with invited contributors bringing prepared material (papers, documentaries, research). From such a gathering a case book to be collected and edited with initial and accessable ‘ethical governance’ ideas – examples and proposals –and an associated ‘Tool Kit’ for the development of a range of good governance models’(this first phase might be called ‘Governing Responsibly– to open the field). Bearing in mind the interest in Water, governance of water is likely to be a focus for case-studies. The project will include a published collection of case studies on governance, an accessible booklet as resource material, and may include video/film documentation. A Pacific focused international symposium on water, which is inclusive of governance of Foreshores and Seabed, is to be made. The symposium is to be in the frameworks of governance, ethics and alternatives to development. Translations Translation of material into (Te Reo Maori) Maori, and Samoan will be included. Other Pacific languages will be considered as time and resources and need permit. Smaller initiatives from any of the cultural and socio-professional groups can be considered as they arise. |
