Russell Taylor
Russell Taylor is a co-founding trustee of EcoCARE Pacific Trust, a
NZ registered charitable trust focussing on the initiation and
facilitation
of projects and programmes that support the development of Pacific
Island people. Recently he established a Development Network at the
University of Canterbury as a vehicle for academics, technicians and
students to collaborate on projects that enables the immense amount of
expertise that lies within institutions like this to be used for the
benefit
of those less fortunate than we. The work that the Trust has undertaken
in the past four years is the basis of a PHD on Development Funding
and Policy that Russell is currently doing. One of their main areas of
focus is capacity building. Giving people within these nations the tools
that they need to utilise and benefit from the resources that they have
available to them. As an example of the types of collaborations that
the Trust can catalyse, EcoCARE Pacific Trust and Rotary International
in NZ have applied for funding to design and install solar
photo-voltaic
power generation systems, computers and internet communications in all
Government schools in Tonga, an under developed Pacific Island nation
with 36 inhabited islands. Russell Taylor holds a Master of Science
(Hons.) Degree – Ecology and a Bachelor of Science Degree –Zoology,

Funding and Development: Prioritising Information’.
