Post-Cotonou Negotiations

The Secretary General (SG) of the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) is also the Regional Authorising Officer (RAO) for the Pacific- Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (P-ACP) region. PIFS is also the Duly Mandated Regional Organisation (DMRO) for the Pacific, as far as the European Commission is concerned.
The RAO plays a significant role in the administration of the European Development Fund (EDF) for the P-ACP states. The RAO is also supported by a Deputy Regional Authorising Officer (DRAO) based at PIFS.
Working closely with the P-ACP National Authorising Officers (NAOs) and with the European Union (EU) Delegations in the Pacific, the RAO’s functions are to coordinate the programming, implementation and coordinate the Pacific Regional Indicative Programme (PRIP). These functions are detailed in the Article 35 of Annex IV of the revised Cotonou Partnership Agreement.
The PRIP is the regional envelope through which regional programmes and projects are funded and administered under the EDF. The programmes are:
