The Desert Knowledge CRC will continue to contribute to
developing the following broad outcomes in the national
interest:
- Sustainable livelihoods for desert people that are based on
natural resource and service enterprise opportunities that are
environmentally and socially appropriate
- Sustainable remote desert settlements that support the presence
of desert people, particularly remote Aboriginal communities, as a
result of improved and efficient governance and access to
services
- Thriving desert regional economies that are based on desert
competitive advantages, bringing together Aboriginal and
non-Aboriginal communities, government and industry.
We will apply social science insights into governance, human
capacity and the design of appropriate institutions to all these
outcomes.
