This micro-credential is designed for current and prospective policy makers and aid professionals involved in the design and implementation of aid projects in the Pacific. Adopting an evidence-based and multi-disciplinary approach, it examines critically the challenges of aid programming in the Pacific context. Beginning with an assessment of the political and development context in the region, the credential considers how the Pacific context complicates key elements of the design and implementation process including: partnering with local actors, developing a context responsive theory of change, monitoring and evaluation, risk management and inclusivity. The micro-credential has a strong practical focus based around four Pacific case studies in the areas of governance, gender, health and education.
