Pacific Sustainable Development Report

Pacific Islands Forum Leaders are committed to ensuring that sustainable development in the region is achieved on its terms and in a way that recognises the region’s rich culture, national circumstances, and oceanic resources.

The Pacific Sustainable Development Report tracks the region’s progress in realising the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (S.A.M.O.A) Pathway and other global commitments.

Pacific Regional Education Framework (2018 – 2030)

The Pacific Regional Education Framework (2018 – 2030) was adopted by Forum Education Ministers in 2018. It outlines a transformative and sustainable regional education agenda aligned with global agendas such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) particularly SDG4, the education goal and Education 2030: Incheon Declaration on Education for All Framework for Action.

The Framework’s four key policy areas of Quality and Relevance, Learning Pathways, Students Outcomes and Wellbeing and Teacher Professionalism will support the Forum Leaders’ Pacific Vision over the next twelve years.

Council of Regional Organisations in the Pacific (CROP)

Beginning in 2018, the heads of agencies comprising the Council of Regional Organisations in the Pacific present an Annual Report to Leaders of the Pacific Islands Forum as part of the annual Forum meeting. The report highlights efforts across the region by the respective agencies to support the Forum agenda.

Forum Compact Development Partner Peer Review Reports

A key objective of the Forum Compact has been to drive more effective coordination of development resources from both Forum Island Countries and development partners. The reports document the findings and recommendations from the peer review of Australia and New Zealand’s Development Cooperation policies and procedures and the effectiveness of their application in Forum island countries (FICs). The reviews accord with the active support of all Pacific Forum Leaders to global aid effectiveness efforts and in particular the 2007 Pacific Islands Forum Principles for Aid Effectiveness and the 2009 Cairns Compact for Strengthening Development Coordination in the Pacific (Forum Compact).

The Pacific Environment Community (PEC) Fund Regional Report 2018

The Pacific Environment Community (PEC) Fund was a multi country grant facility available to 14 Forum Island Countries(FICs). It was launched by Japan and FIC Leaders at PALM 5 in 2009, with funding of ¥6.8billion or US$66m to support projects in solar power generation, sea water desalination or a combination of both. This initiative has made prodigious impacts directly to the livelihoods of the people in the Communities where the projects had been carried out. The PEC Fund did not only bring direct development benefits to the FICs through improved access to electricity and water supply, but also provided a platform to encourage engagement by the Japanese private sector with the FICs.

Forum Compact Peer Review Reports

The Cairns Compact on Strengthening Development Coordination (Forum Compact), adopted by Pacific Islands Forum Leaders at their meeting in August 2009, provides guidelines for accelerating the changes that support existing country efforts towards increased economic growth and social well-being in the Forum Island Countries (FICs). One of the mechanisms set up by the Compact is the Peer Review, which bring together officials of FICs and development partners to mutually address development challenges. The Reviews look at how FICs formulate their priorities, turn them into budgets, implement plans and monitor and report on results; and just importantly, how development partners act collectively and individually to support those priorities and processes.
