Retired Programs

ABC Foundation’s social program AWRAE pushes the boundaries of Indigenous Data Sovereignty, creating employment and empowerment for Aboriginal women in remote communities.

The training model was designed to be culturally secure and hands-on with embedded mentoring and support, and goes beyond a ‘standard’ training model: once women have learnt the skills of planning, data collection and analysis, they work on and are mentored through contract evaluations (work placement).

The business model calls for three types of client engagement:

• one-off evaluations (NGOs, government);
• ongoing evaluations (six monthly surveys of NGO clients) and
• whole-of-community evaluations.
