Pacific Gender and Effectiveness Case Studies   Marilyn Waring and Nic Mason from AUT University, with Peggy Fairbairn-Dunlop from Victoria University, Wellington, and Elizabeth Reid from Australian National University, Canberra, have been researching a sample of NZ and Australian-funded aid projects in the Pacific - in the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Samoa. They have been assessing the aid projects through gender equality and aid effectiveness lens. The aim of the research is to provide recommendations for practical ways in which NZAID and AusAID can strategically advance gender equality in the future through existing aid effectiveness principles.

Local Government Seminar

AUT's Institute of Public Policy and Brookfields Lawyers were delighted to offer you the opportunity of an afternoon seminar with Trey Blocker, an American whose litigation practice focuses on eminent domain and land use matters.
Eminent domain is often used in the US context for the compulsory acquisition of land "in the public interest" and for developments that are seen to be for the greater good. This interesting area of law provides some great insight for New Zealand, particularly in the areas of urban re-development, economic development and in balancing private interests and public good. Trey Blocker's PowerPoint can be downloaded here. (1016kb)
