Project Governance Model

Figure 1: Project Governance Model

Our project governance model foregrounds and centres YolÅ‹u mothers and babies (Å‹adi & yothu) and the djäkamirr. The YolÅ‹u board (Gumurr’dhangiyunamirr) is supported by YolÅ‹u knowledge owners and law (YolÅ‹u Rom WataÅ‹u & Rom djäkamirr), a multiagency steering committee with three sub-committees (Publications, Infrastructure & Djäkamirr employment), and  two site working groups (Nhulunbuy & Galiwin’ku) (see Figure 1 above).
