Reciprocal Accountability and Public Value in Aboriginal Organisations

该项目旨在研究土著组织工作中“公共价值”和问责制的不同含义。金伯利地区的土著组织由政府资助，以提供对公众有价值的服务。它们还反映了土著文化和特性，并代表了土著利益。这也为他们自己的公众创造了价值。这个项目调查了这两种理解公共价值的方式之间的紧张关系。它调查公共价值创造的责任，它是否反映了土著组织的真正价值，以及是否可以做得更好。该项目计划借鉴人类学和公共管理理论。

This project aims to examine the different meanings of ‘public value’ and accountability in the work of Aboriginal organisations. Aboriginal organisations in the Kimberley region are funded by governments to deliver services that are of value to the public. They also reflect Aboriginal culture and identity, and represent Aboriginal interests. This also creates value for their own publics. This project investigates the tension between these two ways of understanding public value. It investigates accountability for public value creation, whether it reflects the real value of Aboriginal organisations, and whether it can be done better. The project plans to draw on anthropology and public administration theory.
