The challenge

With COVID-19 halting overseas staff training, the ministry turned to local trainers and virtual programmes to keep developing its people.

Our contribution

TMLC delivered a six-week leadership programme for the executive team, including the CEO, built around “The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth”.

Verified result

The ministry’s 2021/22 annual report records the programme as part of its staff development for the year.

The challenge

The centre’s 20-month women’s economic empowerment pilot, supported by the Australian Government through Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development, needed a formative evaluation.

Our contribution

Katrina Ma‘u joined the evaluation team as the independent Tongan consultant, alongside evaluators from the University of Technology Sydney.

Verified result

The evaluation report, published by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, names Katrina as the independent Tongan consultant and lists her as a co-author.
