Understanding pacific frameworks
Discover the culturally grounded ways of thinking, knowing, and acting that place relationships, spirituality, community, and wellbeing at the centre of Pacific Frameworks. Learn how these frameworks challenge dominant Western models and how they can be ethically and practically applied in research, policy, health, education, and community practice. Explore how Olamelie Research & Consultancy is committed to advancing wellbeing, equity, and social transformation across Aotearoa New Zealand, Oceania, and the wider Moana region.
Grounded in pacific worldviews and lived realities
Our frameworks are developed from Pacific languages, values, spiritual traditions, and everyday experiences. They reflect how Pacific peoples understand wellbeing, responsibility, and relational life—not abstract theories imposed from outside. At Olamelie Research & Consultancy, we ensure that our Pacific Frameworks are authentic and deeply rooted in the communities we serve.
Designed for practical use, not just theory
Olamelie Research & Consultancy’s Pacific Frameworks are intentionally applied to guide research design, policy thinking, professional practice, and community programmes. We translate cultural insight into tools that make a real difference, bridging the gap between Western models and Pacific ways of knowing. Our frameworks are designed to be practical, ensuring they can be readily implemented in real-world settings.
Ethical, relational, and community-centred
These frameworks prioritise relationships, accountability, and collective wellbeing. They challenge extractive research practices and support approaches that respect knowledge sovereignty, community voice, and long-term impact. At Olamelie Research & Consultancy, we ensure community ownership, cultural integrity, and accountability in all our work, demonstrating impact and legitimacy to institutions, funders, and regulators.
