The Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development (Pacific Women) program’s Advisory Group on Research (AGR) is supporting critical gender research in the region. The AGR brings together research academics and practitioners who have an interest in gender equality issues in the Pacific region. Members include representatives from academia, research institutions, development partners, civil society organisations and regional organisations as well as individual research practitioners. At the group’s two-day meeting in Suva in July 2018, participants discussed research ideas and operational issues related to their work.
