#MTCCPacific officially launched Matanitokalau Princess & handed over to Nakalawaca village Women's Group by Hon. Koroilavesau, @EUPasifika Dep Head @askoltu & @spc_cps Atg GEM Director. A demonstration project that aims to bridge the #gendergap with one outboard motor at a time

Collaboration between #mtccpacific & #GHGSMART project is possible through prioritizing capacity building of technical & operational measures, private sector involvement & partnerships. @DrZullah reminded participants to "be drivers for change in this sector" @IMOHQ @EUPasifika

@DrZullah presenting on behalf of #mtccpacific on the status of SIDS & LDCs for Module 1 of the @IMOHQ #GHGSMART training. Proven low-carbon tech in shipping and ports trialled in select PICs signifies that #maritimedecarbonisation is a very possible achievement in this region.

[International Maritime Organization @IMOHQ]

Starting off the year with the new #GHGSMART training, to be held online from 24-28 January 2022. The 4-year programme aims to build capacity in the area of maritime #decarbonization targeting specifically LDCs and SIDS and funded by the Republic of Korea.
