Researchers from the Solomon Islands National University, Dr Lydia Kaforau and Ms Emelda Ariku, have played a key role in promoting Indigenous and Melanesian research approaches through a regional collaborative initiative supported by the Women Leading and Influencing (WLI) Program.
The initiative focused on strengthening culturally grounded research methods using Tok Stori and Participatory Action Research (PAR), bringing together participants from various sectors to share Indigenous knowledge, experiences, and perspectives on community resilience.
The collaborative effort highlighted the importance of Pacific-led and community-centred research approaches that reflect the realities, values, and voices of Solomon Islands communities.
This initiative reflects SINUβs ongoing commitment to advancing Indigenous knowledge systems, strengthening research capacity, and supporting meaningful learning and collaboration across Solomon Islands and the wider Pacific region.
