  14. Research Question and Approach Research Question • How applicable and adaptable are the CFOC and WOC ME frameworks to local community’s broader indigenous sustainable livelihood plans and work-programs. • When these tools are adapted by communities in this way how well do they support; strategic and adaptive responses to environment changes and environmental policy conditions; identification of potential sustainable livelihoods options; appropriate governance and decision making and institutional contexts within which it occurs; and improvements to local livelihoods, socio-economic conditions and sustainability at a local scale in Cape York? Approach/Method • Two traditional owner groups in central Cape York in partnership with CSIRO, Anthropos Consulting and Balkanuwill; • adapt the ME frameworks for CFOC and WOC to their broader sustainable livelihoods plans and work programs, • trial these, and • over two years review outcomes in relation to impact on sustainable livelihood outcomes at the local scale whilst maintain reporting commitments to external stakeholders i.e. funders. • From this work recommendations will be developed for similar applications for indigenous communities elsewhere.
