We are delighted to invite you to propose sessions for the 2020 DevNet conference, to be hosted by Massey University...Sharing because Cristine’s research was also supported by an MFAT Field Research Award!

Research with over 150 people from Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu has found that “...the Australian Government initiative, Pacific Step Up, is a step in the right direction, but any commitment to building strong and respectful relationships in the region is going to take time.
