An evaluation to describe and analyse the four Far North alcohol accords, and document why the accord initiative was set up, how the accords were established and implemented.
Purpose
To provide the Alcohol Advisory Council of New Zealand (ALAC) and partner agencies with evidencebased information that they can use in developing strategies and making decisions on “alcohol accords” – co-ordinated partnerships between licensees, agencies and local communities in addressing safety and alcohol-related issues.
The research particularly aims to support decisions relating to:
- Establishing a model based on the concept of alcohol accords in rural communities
- Evaluating four alcohol accords in the Far North1 for future time and resource commitments
- Providing direction for future accord-related projects or training
- Assessing community participation and the role of an accord within the community.
