Pacific prevention of domestic violence programme.

Abstract

The structure of the Pacific Prevention of Domestic Violence Programme (PPDVP) Baseline Review Reports (see Fairbairn-Dunlop and Lievre 2007a, 2007b and Lievre and Fairbairn-Dunlop 2007a, 2007b) have been used, at the client’s request, as a template for this Baseline Review Update. To a large extent, Part 1 of this report duplicates the introductory chapter of the baseline review. Some minor changes have been made to reflect the current study but it should be noted that the background of the PPDVP, the four country studies and the methodology sections generally replicate sections contained in the previous Baseline Reports. Part 2 of this report outlines the context of each specific country in which the review was undertaken. It also follows the structure used in the earlier baseline review reports. Where applicable, the original content has been amended to ensure the current report is as up-to-date as possible. We would therefore like to acknowledge the authors of those reports – Professor Peggy Fairbairn-Dunlop and Dr Denise Lievore – as providing this material. We would also like to acknowledge the role Professor Peggy Fairbairn-Dunlop played in the Baseline Review Update. Peggy was involved in the tendering process and in reviewing the methodology. She also acted as a consultant to the project and peer reviewed the final reports.
