Aboriginal Economic Development: Impact of Indigenous Chambers Commerce

本项目旨在评估最近原住民经济发展倡议的经济影响。在过去十年中，原住民拥有的小企业有所增加；建立了土著商会，并制定了与工业界采购货物和服务的谅解备忘录；新南威尔士州土著事务部实施了“机会、选择、治愈、责任和赋权”项目，以刺激澳大利亚最大的土著人口的经济发展。该项目以新南威尔士州为案例研究，旨在评估经济发展、创造就业机会、创建新公司、增加土著和非土著合作伙伴的福利以及增加社会积极性。这可能有助于在该领域制定有效的循证政府政策。

This project aims to assess the economic impact of recent initiatives in Aboriginal economic development. In the last decade, Aboriginal-owned small business has increased; Indigenous Chambers of Commerce have been established and have developed memorandums of understanding for procurement of goods and services with industry; and the Opportunity, Choice, Healing, Responsibility, Empowerment (OCHRE) project was implemented by the NSW Department of Aboriginal Affairs to stimulate economic development within Australia’s largest Aboriginal population. Using NSW as a case study, the project intends to assess economic development, job creation, new company creation, increase in the wellbeing of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal partners, and increase in social positivity. This may support the development of effective evidence-based government policy in the sector.
