And What of the Pacific?

There are actually some helpful pieces on the website of PPP.

This article from 2004 gives background of how PPP got involved:

Here's a speech that was given is Victoria which gives a critical
analysis of "development" work there:

What I understood from Randall was that while the armed conflict has
been "brought under control" by the Australian intervention, there is
still deep division among the people, and so the idea of a peace &
reconciliation process like South Africa's was suggested. Fred is in
Canada to participate in an evaluation-of-peace-process training in
Ottawa. PPP has already sent an intern to work in his department there
(http://www.pacificpeoplespartnership.org/archives/000084.html) and may
be further involved in supporting this work.
