Masculinity, men and development: A critical analysis of violence, conflict and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention measures in Melanesia

澳大利亚正在作出巨大努力，通过提供大量发展援助，改善我们区域美拉尼西亚国家的局势。尽管如此，经济和社会状况继续恶化。普遍的冲突、暴力和艾滋病流行是造成这种下降的重要因素。该项目将严格审查为鼓励更有建设性的行为而设立的方案，特别是在男子中。这将大大有助于澳大利亚更有效地解决这些严重破坏稳定的问题。澳大利亚政府认识到，改善我们在该地区的邻国和朋友的福祉非常符合我们的国家利益。

Australia is making great efforts to improve the situation in the Melanesian countries of our region through large amounts of development aid. Despite this, economic and social conditions continue to deteriorate. Widespread conflict, violence and the AIDS epidemic are significant factors in this decline. This project will critically examine the programs set up to encourage more constructive behaviour, particularly among men. It will contribute significantly to making Australia's efforts to address these profoundly destabilising problems more effective. The Australian Government recognises that it is strongly in our national interest to bring about an improvement in the wellbeing of our neighbours and friends in the region.
