Cross‐sector collaboration for refugee employment
Employment plays a crucial role in the successful resettlement of migrants. However, there is a paucity of research on how to facilitate refugee employment outcomes and the role of cross‐sector collaborations. Using a qualitative, multi‐layered analysis of primary and secondary data from Australian settlement service providers (SSPs) and the businesses they work with, this study explores how public service organisations co‐create value with stake…
A Systematic Review of Meta-Evaluations
Impact evaluation and measurement are highly complex and can pose challenges for both social impact providers and funders. Measuring the impact of social interventions requires the continuous exploration and improvement of evaluation approaches and tools. This article explores the available evidence on meta-evaluation—the “evaluation of evaluations”—as an analytical tool for improving impact evaluation and analysis in practice. It presents a syst…
The contribution of research for development to the sustainable development goals
Drawing from research evaluation of the Fisheries Program of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Centre (ACIAR) in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Island Countries, this paper explores the link between Research for Development (R4D) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, it seeks to understand how Research Capacity Development (RCD) in fisheries, in the specific contexts of international development partnershi…
Towards a Re-imagination of the New African Diaspora in Australia
The ‘New African Diaspora’ ( NAD ) in Australia is a small yet diverse and interconnected community. African-born persons make up only 1.5 % of the Australian population, yet collectively represent all 54 independent African nation-states, and speak over 60 languages. Nonetheless, Australia embraces stereotypical and misleading understandings of the ‘African migrant’, and whilst these have been subject to academic scrutiny, there is a need to rec…
Designing tools for ‘joined up’ homelessness prevention
Homelessness is a complex social problem with significant health and economic consequences. Prevention‐based responses seek to reduce the number of people who go on to experience homelessness, but effective homelessness prevention is challenging to implement and can require service integration across mainstream referral organisations and specialist homelessness service agencies. The ‘At‐Risk Screening Tool’ was piloted over August 2018 to March 2…
African Immigrants to Australia
The purpose of this paper is to examine the employment experiences of immigrants of African background in the Australian labor market. Drawing on the findings from a qualitative study conducted in South East Queensland, the paper identifies several barriers and challenges faced by Africans to meaningful employment and labor market success. The paper indicates the need to develop targeted policies to eliminate employment discrimination, reduce bar…
Impact Assessment
Interest in understanding the social impact of publicly funded science research is growing globally. However, practical examples demonstrating how the social impacts of research for development are measured are negligible. This paper illustrates the utility of Impact Assessment (IA), Social Impact Assessment (SIA) in particular to measure and articulate the social dimensions of research for development. We employed substantive aspects of SIA to a…
Linked Boundary Functions
Natural resource management practices such as community-based resource management (CBRM) are well-established bottom-up approaches to developing adaptive governance systems. Less is understood about how communities involved in such processes can attract top-down support without compromising their credibility or salience. We tested the usefulness of the linked boundary functions concept – boundary chains – for explaining the role of “research for …
Empowerment as a tool for a healthy resettlement
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the application of empowerment and the role that it plays in fostering community participation, community integration and in enabling a healthy re-settlement of culturally and linguistically diverse migrants who have recently arrived in Australia from Sub Saharan Africa. Design/methodology/approach The paper's approach is a discussion expressing the views of authors supported by the relevant litera…
