Pacific Communities Stocktake Report
As an initial step in the process of engaging with Pacific communities, in 2009 CCN developed a Pacific Communities Workplan to determine appropriate steps to be taken to develop strong engagement processes, as well as identify key focus areas for reducing inequalities for Pacific communities. This is based on the premise that while engagement is important, it is more likely to be successful if it is based around specific issues of mutual interest to Pacific communities and to CCN.
The Pacific Communities Workplan identified the need for pre-engagement informating gathering to occur. The following information was gathered in the Pacific Communities Stocktake Report, completed December 2009;
- A description of Pacific communities within the Central region; and
- An analysis of the Cancer Registration Trends for Pacific Peoples in the Central Region, supplied by Central Region’s Technical Advisory Services (TAS)
- A stocktake of current strategies, programmes and activities aimed at reducing inequalities for Pacific communities within cancer control
Demystifying Cancer for Pacific Communities Workshop Toolkit
This Toolkit has been developed to support the planning for and delivery of Demystifying Cancer workshops in the districts within the Central Cancer Network (CCN) region as one means of addressing inequalities in cancer control for those communities where there are high incidences of inequalities. In New Zealand, it is often the Maori community and Pacific communities who experience such inequalities.
