International research indicates that the economic and social costs <strong>of</strong> DV acrosst he <strong>Pacific</strong> region are high and the effects are <strong>of</strong>ten generational.The <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Prevention</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Domestic</strong> <strong>Violence</strong> Programme (<strong>PPDVP</strong>) is a tripartite initiative betweent he New Zealand Aid Programme, NZ Police and the <strong>Pacific</strong> Islands Chiefs <strong>of</strong> Police (PICP). NewZealand Aid Programme funding for <strong>PPDVP</strong> totals $5 million over five years (with approximatelySlmillion per financial year). The programme began in July 2005. Implementation propercommenced in mid-2006 with the first deployment <strong>of</strong> NZ Police mentors to PICs. The main focus <strong>of</strong>the <strong>PPDVP</strong> is on five 'participating countries' (Cook Islands, Tonga, Samoa, Kiribati and Vanuatu).<strong>PPDVP</strong> goat and objectivestheoverall goal <strong>of</strong> the <strong>PPDVP</strong> is 'a safer <strong>Pacific</strong> free from domestic violence'. While the <strong>PPDVP</strong>1scountry programmes have 4 objectives, the primary objective (objective 2) <strong>of</strong> this programme is toincrease the commitment and capacity <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong> Police Services to respond effectively to domesticviolence, Other significant objectives include: development <strong>of</strong> effective partnerships between thePolice and other relevant government agencies, NGOs, churches and communities; supporting thedevelopment and implementation <strong>of</strong> appropriate national-level DV policy and legislativeframeworks, including the training <strong>of</strong> the judiciary and legal pr<strong>of</strong>essions.The <strong>PPDVP</strong> Design intentionally focuses on violence against women by their spouses or partners,given research findings that this constitutes the most prevalent form <strong>of</strong> family violence.Rationale and Purpose <strong>of</strong> <strong>Evaluation</strong>:The New Zealand Aid Programme has provided funding to NZ Police (totalling $5 million) toi rnplement the <strong>PPDVP</strong> via a MOU which commenced on 1 July 2005 and is ending on 30 June 2011.The NZ Aid Programme and NZ Police have agreed to implement a small set <strong>of</strong> activities inFY2011/12 to provide follow-up support to the participating countries.An evaluation at the end <strong>of</strong> this project (June 2011) will help the NZ Aid Programme and NZ Police todetermine effectiveness <strong>of</strong> support to date and whether a further phase <strong>of</strong> support is necessarybeyond FY2011/12; and if so, the scope, focus and scale <strong>of</strong> activities. The findings <strong>of</strong> the evaluationwould also be reported to the participating countries and the PICP as a basis to make improvementsas necessary to the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the participating <strong>Pacific</strong> Police Service's capacity in respondingto domestic violence.Pur~ose:To provide an assessment <strong>of</strong> the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency (including value for money,) andsustainability <strong>of</strong> the programmeTo make recommendations on any priority areas for further assisting the <strong>Pacific</strong> Police Servicesincluding focus, scope, scale, resourcing and duration <strong>of</strong> further assistance.Scope <strong>of</strong> <strong>Evaluation</strong>:The evaluation will assess progress from commencement in July 2005 to present.
