Synopsis (short abstract) Despite a significant potential for innovation and digitalization in the agrifood systems of Pacific SIDS, and the power of digital tools in aiding development efforts, the operating themes of agrifood systems, digitalization and gender empowerment are still in their infancy in the Pacific region, which also faces challenges such as remoteness, limited capacities and natural disasters. Acknowledging the need for development partners to invest in the enabling environment to achieve more impactful results, the subprogramme focused on advancing digitisation of gender-sensitive agrifood systems in eight target countries, namely the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Marshall Islands, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu. Investing in digital literacy for women and youth was expected to yield immediate results through a practice-based approach. The subprogramme aimed to leverage local creativity in digitalization, attract financial partnerships and address the gender divide while complementing ongoing efforts in the targeted countries.

    Enhancing Sustainable Development of Transboundary Oceanic Fish Stocks of the Pacific Islands Region - GCP/RAS/267/GFF 2023

    For most Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS), sustainable use of the transboundary oceanic fish stocks of the Pacific Islands region is the most important potential contributor to their sustainable development. Indeed, for some SIDS, sustainable fisheries for these stocks may provide virtually the only prospect for the levels of sustainable development to which they aspire. These include transboundary and globally important food stocks, and the fisheries for them affect the globally important stocks of other non-target species in these waters, especially sharks, seabirds and turtles. Building on the successes achieved during the first phase of the Global Environment Facility (GEF)-funded project, the current project aimed to support 14 Pacific SIDS (Cook Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu) in meeting their obligations to implement and effectively enforce global, regional and subregionalarrangements for the conservation and management of transboundary oceanic fisheries, thereby increasing sustainable benefits derived from these fisheries.
