Within each IRG project there is always an attempt to address multiple IRG Priorities, particularly a capacity building component. However, what is often missing is an understanding of what impact the project has had and how the capacity building component from each project has led to any discernible change from a participant’s perspective. The IRG through the FRDC have funded two recent projects that were both designed to lead to an up-skilling, and hopefully a call to action in addressing Indigenous participation in fisheries areas. This project seeks to better understand the impacts these projects have made in these areas from the perspective of the project participants. Researchers will collate the experiences of participants through semi-structured interviews and develop resources suitable to communicate outcomes to stakeholders.

This project assesses the effectiveness of FRDC IRG projects to deliver change. Using two previous FRDC IRG funded projects as case studies, the assessment evaluates the impact of research and capacity building on Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants. This is vital for advancing both strengths as well as identifying areas for improvement in future projects. The conversations we had with 20 individuals, which took place over the phone and were analysed through NVIVO, which identified and coded common themes between the interviews. Based on recurring themes, the findings and key messages are presented within this report and within additional reports which are written in accessible language and design. Reflective of our conversations with workshop attendees, this report identifies how projects were perceived, experienced and areas of improvement based on the participant’s point of view.
