National Authorising Officers (NAOs)
Each PACP member country in the region has a National Authorising Officer (NAO) supported by a National Authorising Officer Support Unit that works closely with the ORAO and the Office of the European Union (EU) Delegations in the Pacific and Papua New Guinea.
The various National Authorising Officer Support Units are responsible for the oversight implementation and coordination of all the projects funded by the European Development Fund (EDF) under their respective country’s National Indicative Plan (NIP).
