collaboration is a means of turning ideas into action,
expanding the impact or scale of initiatives, and
driving a vision for change.
Increasingly, as Jawun’s Indigenous partners seek
change at a level higher than their individual
organisations, collaboration is critical. As Sean
Gordon, CEO of Darkinjung Land Council explains:
Collaboration is about strength in numbers. It’s
about being able to go to councils and business
associations and asking for an Indigenous jobs
target, or doing a large regional employment
strategy, or changing the landscape by putting
pressure on programs not delivering outcomes.
Collaboration allows the community to be
empowered and take control—to come together
to first set their own priorities and then work on
making those real.
This section looks at three dimensions of
collaboration which Jawun supports:
•
collaboration within regions
, i.e. between
distinct organisations and individuals or leaders
•
collaborations across regions
, i.e. between
one broader regional group of communities
and another
•
collaboration across sectors
, i.e. between
Indigenous and corporate or government or
philanthropic Australia.
