ProjectIncreasing Resilience of Fisher Men and Women in Facing Climate Change Impacts in Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu - GCP/SAP/003/CAN 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Pacific rely heavily on fishing for food, nutrition, and jobs. However, the sustainability of these fisheries is threatened by challenges like poor management and illegal fishing practices. Climate change also plays a major role, affecting fisheries through extreme weather, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, flooding, and coastal erosion. How well communities can adapt depends on their access to resources, technology, and knowledge. In addition to these challenges, improved management strategies must also consider gender issues and work to reduce gender inequalities. In 2019, the FAO and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) conducted gender assessments and found a strong need to improve data collection and to create strategies that give women more opportunities in fishing and its related industries. This project, in partnership with national fisheries agencies in Fiji, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu, aimed to strengthen the ability of coastal communities to manage their marine resources and strengthen the role and participation of women in fisheries and aquaculture. -
ProjectPrevention, Detection and Management of Fall Armyworm Infestation in Solomon Islands and Neighbouring Pacific Islands - TCP/SAP/3809 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) are at a considerably high risk of food poverty owing to their low production levels and the fact that they count on a small range of crops and food options. These issues are compounded by vulnerability to climate issues and the threat of exotic plant pests. The United Nations (UN) has identified a need to effectively prevent and manage these pests in the PICTs with strong biosecurity systems in order to boost food production, establish food security and economic stability, and improve resilience to environmental and socioeconomic shocks. One of the pests that has raised concerns is the Fall Armyworm (FAW). The FAW is native to the Americas and feeds mainly on maize, but also on 80 other crops such as wheat, cotton, sorghum and sugarcane. This insect is a global threat, as it is a transboundary pest affecting around 12 African countries, some regions in Asia and the Near East, and recently, some provinces in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands. -
Book (stand-alone)Multicountry Programming Framework for the Pacific Islands (the Cook Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu)
2023–2027
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Multicountry Programming Framework for the Pacific Islands (Pacific CPF) 2023–2027 is a strategic plan designed by the FAO to drive agrifood systems transformation and rural development in the Pacific Islands. It builds upon the achievements and lessons learned from the previous 2018–2022 Pacific CPF, emphasizing stakeholder engagement, programmatic approach, and sustainability. Derived from the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for the Pacific Islands (Pacific UNSDCF) 2023–2027, the Pacific CPF aligns with FAO's commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and focuses on key SDGs such as Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Life below Water (SDG 14), and Life on Land (SDG 15). By leveraging partnerships and prioritizing sustainable practices, this framework aims to address the unique challenges faced by the Pacific Islands and contribute to their long-term development.
