Performing the Pacific Regional Institutional Framework

Abstract

The report on a new regional institutional framework was commissioned by the Pacific Plan Action Committee (PPAC). The aim in doing so was to present the report to Pacific Islands Forum Leaders at their October 2006 meeting, after PPAC had considered it in August 2006 in Nadi,Fiji Islands. In this report, the project team proposes significant changes to existing regional institutional arrangements. Through these changes, it envisages the creation of a framework that will facilitate further development, implementation and monitoring of the Pacific Plan. Forum Leaders agreed that "given the central role of regional organisations, a regional institutions framework that is appropriate to the development of the Pacific Plan will be established".
