Collections

Policy Online Collections feature curated content related to either a geographic region or a more focussed look at a particular issue.  Collections also include content that crosses APO topic areas.  The collections pages arise from partnerships with interested organisations (academic institutions, NGO's and projects) and these partnerships are acknowledged on each collection page. Each collection also includes related material from a range of other sources besides the sponsoring partner.

Depending on the nature of the collection, these will be dynamic and ongoing or archival: bringing the accumulated material from a project together in one place. To find out more or to suggest a new Policy Online Collection, email: editor@apo.org.au
