The project aims to discover local knowledge about how DV is understood in two post-colonial contexts – Solomon Islands and Tuvalu; investigate local stakeholder perspectives about the causes and manifestations of DV; examine strategies to improve stakeholder responses to DV by considering context-specific ambiguities and complexities; and provide a conceptual and evidence base for DV policy development from the perspective of the local stakeholders.
