Fiji’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Ratu Inoke Kubuabola opened the new Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) Office in Suva last night.
Fiji has been a valued SPREP member since its formation as an independent regional organization.
This office hosts the Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project which focusses on strengthening and protecting the role of natural ecosystem services to enhance resilience with activities in Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
The 5-year project which began last year is funded by the German Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is implemented by SPREP in partnership with the governments of Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
The office in Suva supports the three-country project, and complements the field offices in the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
Fiji-based staff includes the PEBACC project manager, national project officer, communications officer, and finance and administration officer.
