An empowerment model
Jawun’s theory of change is to empower
Indigenous communities to achieve their own
development goals by increasing the capacity
of Indigenous leaders and organisations, and by
injecting skilled resources and connections to
support Indigenous-led initiatives. Secondments
bring skilled expertise to organisations, executive
visits create networks between Indigenous
leaders and senior corporate and government
officials, and leadership investments fortify
established and emerging Indigenous leaders.
Together, the elements of this approach translate into
lasting and measurable improvements in the lives of
Indigenous people (Figure 5).
