The Pacific Regional Civil Society Forum opened today at the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat in Suva, Fiji, bringing together civil society representatives, including members of the Pacific Regional Non-Governmental Organisation Alliance, in person and online.
Held under the theme “Reorienting Regionalism: Collective Action for an Inclusive Blue Pacific,” the three-day Forum provides an important platform to reflect on regional priorities, the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent, and pathways for deeper and more meaningful civil society engagement.
In welcoming delegates, Deputy Secretary General Esala Nayasi acknowledged the critical role of civil society in the Pacific regional architecture, noting that civil society organisations are not only partners in regional processes, but connectors, advocates, and an important link to communities and the lived realities of Pacific peoples.
The Forum Secretariat remains committed to strengthening dialogue, partnership, and inclusive engagement with civil society across regional processes.

Organized crime can affect anyone.
It’s behind the falsified medicine that kills a child.

It thrives on profit, at the cost of people’s lives.

Editorial. When working for the government or holding any government office, the incumbent is required to follow policies and rules, including those about the procurement and use of motor vehicles. It is hard to understand why the heads of the Ministry of Health thought they were exempted. https://t.co/iWp7kUfKGo
