International projects
We work alongside local colleagues and partner organisations to develop and implement projects that focus on the sexual and reproductive health challenges faced by Pacific nations.

Our approach to international projects
-
1. Developing a project
-
We start by developing an understanding of what our partners want to achieve — and what we can contribute. We rely on our partners’ knowledge, expertise, and insights to ensure a project meets local needs and priorities.

2. During the project
-
Once a project has been co-designed, we work closely with our partner to ensure activities and outcomes are achieved. We provide guidance and support — if requested — when it comes to facing challenges that we have some experience with.
Sometimes we send experts, or clinical staff, from Aotearoa to the area of the Pacific our partner is working in. Experts and clinical staff can support a project by offering training and upskilling, or hosting online learning opportunities.

3. End of the project
-
We conduct regular end-of-project evaluations in addition to ongoing monitoring. This helps us better understand how effective a completed project is. We can use this data to help future projects be more and more beneficial.
