PACIFIC ISLANDS PRIVATE SECTOR ORGANIZATION
LAUNCHES WEBSITE
The Pacific Islands Private Sector Organization (PIPSO) will take another step forward in serving its members with the launch of its website – www.pipso.org – tomorrow at its Secretariat in Suva, Fiji.
“UNDP through its Pacific Centre, played an instrumental role together with the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat in the opening of an office for PIPSO last April. They were both with us for last August's successful Pacific Islands Business Forum in Nadi, Fiji, which attracted some 200 representatives of the region's private and public sectors,” James Movick, Chair of PIPSO said.
Mr Movick said UNDP Pacific Centre has gone a step further by supporting the development of PIPSO's website.
“This means that our stakeholders, including the business community, Governments, donors and key institutions, would now not have to wait for another Business Forum in order to engage with one another. They will now be able to dialogue, network and most importantly, do business at anytime, in the most efficient and cost effective way, by simply going online via the website. The project also ensures a global reach for PIPSO,” Mr Movick said
Major features of the website include an ‘online discussion forum’ for policy dialogues, a ‘market place’ for trading, a depositary for business data and information and, opportunities for commercial advertising.
The PIPSO website is funded by the UNDP Pacific Centre and developed by Suva-based Webmasters Ltd.
For more information contact, Mr Henry Sanday, Interim Executive Officer, PIPSO Secretariat on phone (679) 322 0325, fax (679) 322 0293 or, email henrys@pipso.org.fj.
