The Geography of Where We Work

The Pacific is the area in which Live & Learn was first established. It is where we have our longest history, our most established offices, and longest serving managers and staff. Logically, the Pacific is the site for the first Sub-Regional Management Team.

To achieve this we are proposing a staggered development process involving considerable professional development of managers, and trialling of the team structure and functions. This will be underpinned by greater regional cooperation and networking and the conscious development of a regional identity and focus. The development of our first Regional Management Team should be undertaken over a three-year period beginning end of 2007.

We see no geographic limitations to our work. In considering where we might operate, we will look at where we have networks and access to communities, where our work is wanted and needed, and where we can make a difference and work effectively. Regional geographical focus areas in the Pacific include Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia; In Asia -- Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam; and in the Indian Ocean -- Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
