Sustaining Management of Indigenous-Owned Resources: rationale for multi-dimensional training in a multi-million dollar mahogany industry in Fiji. Development Research Symposium, South Pacific Futures., 1-10.1175-3099https://hdl.handle.net/10289/17967This paper contributes to an emerging discourse relating to new pathways towards engaging in holistic development measures among grassroots communities in the Pacific Islands by using the notion of critical mass as a viable option for sustaining real growth in small rural economies. It is argued here that the multi-dimensional training techniques applied in the case of a project involving capacity building among indigenous women in Tailevu Province in Fiji could be applied with equal validity to the multi-million dollar mahogany industry in Fiji. This insight into mahogany suggests by implication that multi-dimensional training has great potential for sustaining effective management of indigenous-based and indigenous-owned resources.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Fiji economyIndigenous resourcesPacific sustainabilityConference Contribution10.15663/K10.140943021-56683504 Commercial Services
