Project summary: This is a Yapa-led project that supports the residents of Lajamanu in the Northern Territory to define, assess, and take action for a ‘good community life’. Seven domains of a good life in Lajamanu were defined and are now tracked yearly.

The aim for this grant was to resource the project team to update the community on the research findings and workshop next steps with community.
