FOREWORDStories are powerful We have used them to communicate with each other for thousands of years passing on wisdom learning lessons and garnering knowledge

The SPC 2020 Results Report is a collection of stories about the results SPC has helped deliver and more importantly the progress made by our members towards the future we all want Continued monitoring evaluation and learning play a critical part in checking our progress adjusting our course and realising our aspirations for the region

The stories of results delivered in 2020 are remarkable given the global COVID-19 pandemic that disrupted our lives The leaders of our region acted quickly and wisely closing borders and protecting the region from the worst of the initial impacts of COVID-19 However the longer-term implications for the regionrsquos social and economic health will be felt for years to come

SPC has had to innovate in this environment of lockdowns and restricted travel and to create new ways of working and delivering value to our members I am proud this report contains so much evidence of that creativity demonstrating that we have managed to continue to provide real benefits for the people of the Pacific during this difficult time

I feel immensely privileged to have been entrusted with the leadership of this fantastic regional institution and would like to thank the previous Director-General Dr Colin Tukuitonga as well as our members staff and stakeholders for ensuring SPC was prepared not just to weather this unexpected storm but to work together to chart a new course

SPC will be needed more than ever by our member countries and territories as we begin the long road of regional recovery from COVID-19 But we should not lose sight of the fact that we do not want to simply recover to where we were when this crisis started Rather we must take this opportunity to achieve the transformation needed for the region to meet the Sustainable Development Goals

SPC stands with its members to serve and support the Pacific region and to take up the challenges and opportunities that are ahead

Report structureThe report begins with an overview of key regional developments that relate to our work and the adaptations we have made in response to our changing context It then describes our performance in 2020 against each of the nine development objectives and five organisational objectives set out in our Strategic Plan

ABOUT THIS REPORTThe Pacific Community Results Report 2020 highlights the differences that SPClsquos science knowledge and innovation make in Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) and the benefits they bring for Pacific peoples their ocean other natural resources systems and institutions This is the fifth and final Results Report under the Pacific Community Strategic Plan 2016ndash2020 (Strategic Plan) as we come to the end of this planning period

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected both our areas of work and ways of working in 2020 and is therefore a strong theme throughout the report

Results reporting methodologyTo produce this Results Report SPC staff work together and with partners to collect analyse and make sense of information on an ongoing basis Collaboration across the Secretariat and with members and partners is an essential part of the process

Our reporting practices are guided by SPCrsquos Planning Evaluation Accountability Reflection and Learning policy which was revised in 2020 Performance reporting is a key element of the policy which emphasises consistency accuracy transparency and accountability to members

SPC divisions and teams use a harmonised self-assessment process to rate performance in key result areas Their assessments are then moderated by senior managers monitoring evaluation and learning (MEL) practitioners and the Strategy Performance and Learning (SPL) unit of the Director-Generalrsquos Office and aggregated based on SPCrsquos development and organisational objectives

The report was written by SPL

SPCs performance assessment scaleFollowing the assessment of each key result area performance is rated according to the scale below

THE REGIONAL PICTURE

Figure 1 COVID-19 cases in the Pacific as of 22 December 2020

COVID-19

On 30 January 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that COVID-19 was a public health emergency of international concern and on 11 March 2020 characterised the situation as a pandemic Pacific governments responded swiftly and were among the first in the world to close their borders to protect their vulnerable populations and contain the spread of the virus

Pacific Islands Forum Leaders invoked the Biketawa Declaration and on 9 April established the Pacific Humanitarian Pathway on COVID-19 (PHP-C) to collectively prepare for and respond to the pandemic and ensure the provision of medical and humanitarian assistance in a timely safe effective and equitable manner On 8 May 2020 heads of CROP agencies pledged their full support for the regional response to COVID-19 and recovery efforts They also supported the development of common regional protocols for the deployment of technical teams customs immigration and repatriation and diplomatic clearances CROP agencies led by SPC and the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) also actively participated in the WHO-led Joint Incident Management Team (JIMT) and its pillar working groups including social inclusion logistics and partnerships

Compared with other regions in the world the number of COVID-19 cases in the Pacific was relatively low in 2020 (Figure 1) However the pandemic seriously affected employment labour mobility and livelihoods across the region exposing and exacerbating vulnerabilities and socio-economic challenges that are expected to have long-lasting impacts particularly in relation to education and gender equality issues

Natural disasters and climate change

The climate change crisis the increasing intensity of disasters and human security challenges continue to affect our membersrsquo development progress further compounding the impacts of COVID-19 on economies community livelihoods and individual well-being In 2020 nine tropical cyclones affected the Pacific region causing heavy rain flooding and landslides with Tropical Cyclone (TC) Harold and TC Yasa reaching category 5 In October La Nintildea was officially declared in the Pacific This weather pattern is expected to result in below normal rainfall and higher susceptibility to drought for islands in the central Pacific The south-west Pacific will probably have higher than normal rainfall and tropical cyclones are more likely to form further west The COVID-19 pandemic will add extra complexity to disaster response and recovery efforts

Partnerships and alignment

The 2020 CROP Strategic Work Plan optimised collective investment through regional partnership mechanisms such as the Pacific Resilience Partnership Pacific Oceans Alliance and Pacific SDG Task Force (as well as support for the Voluntary National Reviews of Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Solomon Islands in 2020) The plan included responsible service delivery through regional hubs and centres of excellence including the Centre for Pacific Crops and Trees (CePaCT) Pacific Community Centre for Ocean Science (PCCOS) Pacific Data Hub Regional Pacific Nationally Determined Contribution Hub (NDC Hub) Maritime Technology Cooperation Centre in the Pacific (MTCC-Pacific) and Pacific Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (PCREEE) SPC actively engaged in the development of the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent and in the taskforce for a regional COVID-19 socio-economic impact assessment Additionally the mapping of national and global development goals guided improved connection to leadersrsquo commitments regional goals and national commitments across shared prioritised and integrated focal areas

Elections and politics

Several SPC members held elections in 2020 including Kiribati Niue Palau Vanuatu New Zealand and the United States of America Fiji marked the 50th anniversary of its independence and Vanuatu its 40th Following a referendum on independence in late 2019 an election took place in 2020 for leadership of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville New Caledonia held a referendum on independence in October

While COVID-19 disrupted plans for numerous events ndash for example the Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture was postponed to 2024 ndash many meetings moved online including important regional meetings on issues such as anti-corruption health finance and economies gender fisheries oceans and trade

While the timeline for developing SPCrsquos new strategic plan has been prolonged work continues regionally on developing the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent which represents a commitment to collective regional action recognising the economic and strategic potential of our shared oceanic continent

The people of the Blue Pacific Continent are at the heart of the services of SPC and our CROP family Through continued collaboration we contribute together to implementing action on regional priorities

HIGHLIGHTS OF RESULTS IN 2020Development objectives The overall assessment of SPCrsquos performance in 2020 is positive with a higher proportion of results showing significant progress compared with previous years (60 in 2020 up from 57 in 2019 and 48 in 2018) (Graph 1) Results were achieved across all levels from outputs to changes in knowledge practice and attitudes (Graph 2)

The majority of SPCrsquos results contributed to the sustainable management of natural resources (SPC development objective 1) advancing social development (SPC development objective 6) and multi-sectoral responses to climate change and disasters (SPC development objective 5) (Graph 3)

Impact of COVID-19 COVID-19 had significant impacts on both the way we worked in 2020 and the nature of our work (Graph 4) While some planned activities either slowed or stopped others progressed and new activities and partnerships were developed in direct response to the pandemic and membersrsquo changing priorities

The total number of results achieved was lower in 2020 than in 2019 (374 compared with 442) likely due to the impacts of the pandemic

Approach Technical assistance and capacity strengthening were the main types of results achieved in 2020 (Graph 5) They included the delivery of scientific and technical assistance capacity strengthening training tools and manuals and enhanced systems methods and practices As we adapted to the constraints of COVID-19 we also strengthened our capacity to deliver services and support through virtual platforms or through greater reliance on locally based partners More than 145 capacity strengthening results were delivered with over 5500 participants trained in 2020

Contribution to all 17 SDGsIn 2020 SPC continued to play an essential role in working with PICTs to progress implementation of the 2030 Agenda Our results cut across all SDGs including good health and well-being life below water gender equality food security and nutrition partnerships and quality education (Graph 6) Partnerships with our member governments CROP and development partners civil society the private sector research organisations and academia underpin our work

Integration of cross-cutting issuesAt least one cross-cutting issue is considered in 80 of our key projects (108 of 134) Almost 30 of these projects are either gender responsive (16) or transformative (13) Just over 20 are either responsive to human rights (11) or transformative (10) Youth and culture are the areas with the lowest proportion of transformative projects

Organisational objectivesOur convening SPC convenes or co-convenes high-level regional meetings of government ministers or heads of sectors to provide strategic direction support the development and implementation of regional frameworks and strategies strengthen partnerships or provide technical oversight of SPCrsquos work

In 2020 SPC convened or co-organised 12 regional meetings with Pacific ministers or heads of sectors and other events of regional significance (Appendix 4 lists the main outcomes of these meetings)

Our operationsSPCrsquos capacity to pivot to meet the challenges of COVID-19 relied on our ability to plan adapt and innovate We reprioritised activities programmes and budgets and rapidly developed and used online platforms for capacity building and engagement To ensure business continuity almost all of SPCrsquos business services are now delivered through digital channels Our staff met these challenges while also dealing with their own difficulties due to the pandemic such as family separation and other personal and economic impacts

Additional operational highlightsbull Consolidation of SPCrsquos internal systems towards a One SPC business model continued in 2020

bull A full review of SPCrsquos human resources and staff policies resulted in the implementation of a new Manual of Staff Policies on 1 July 2020 SPC also acceded to the jurisdiction of the International Labour Organization Administrative Tribunal a significant step up in transparency and staff rights

bull SPC made progress in implementing a people-centred approach and mainstreaming social (gender youth culture and human rights) and environmental issues

Our peopleSPCrsquos headquarters are in Noumea New Caledonia and there are regional offices in Fiji Vanuatu and Pohnpei FSM and a project support unit in Solomon Islands

SPC employed 615 staff at the end of 2020 down 1 from the start of the year (619 staff) More women than men occupied locally advertised lower-banded positions (63 versus 37) More men than women occupied internationally recruited positions (55 versus 45)

53 of staff were women (321) compared with 54 in 2019

45 of internationally recruited positions were held by women

Financial summarySPCrsquos 2020 revised budget was EUR 77 million while actual expenditure was EUR 628 million Programme and project execution totalling EUR 494 million against the budget of EUR 61million stood at 81 due to the impacts of COVID-19 Net core expenditure reduced by EUR 26 million from EUR 16 million per the 2020 revised budget to EUR 134 million due to lower expenditure (mainly on salaries and travel) From early in the pandemic SPC leadership and management focused efforts on contingency planning monitoring and a commitment to maintain a balanced budget under these times of unusual and extreme operating and financial pressure This resulted in higher operating reserves and contributed to SPCrsquos financial viability during the pandemic

The approved budget for 2021 provides for expenditure of EUR 862 million an increase of EUR 92 million from the 2020 revised budget mainly arising from higher programme and project execution capital expenditure and key reforms such as investment in integrated programming and resource mobilisation

1 Knowledge capital

Data or evidence produced by SPC was used to inform policy or programmes

In 2020 there was unparalleled demand for SPC data and intelligence from members and implementing partners and an urgent need to collect synthesise and disseminate information differently Innovative ways of collating population data using register-based approaches were developed We worked closely with development partners with more advanced and mature systems such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Statistics New Zealand (Stats NZ) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Their learning helped inform the development of the Pacific Data Hub and PDHstat indicator database

The survey management dashboard used for the Kiribati and Vanuatu censuses proved to be an innovative solution for providing technical assistance remotely and building the capacity of PICT National Statistics Offices (NSOs) to manage census and survey fieldwork

2 Perceived utility

A collaborative and participatory approach ensured outputs were relevant to local needs

Collaborative and participatory approaches adapted to local needs result in more sustainable outcomes In the Pacific International Waters Ridge to Reef (R2R) project stakeholder understanding of the approach to improving land-to-sea governance and management was assisted by regional guidelines on R2R decision support tools The guidelines helped ensure genuine engagement partnership and alignment of interventions to national interests

The integrated approach to building resilience to climate change in the outer islands of Marshall Islands showed that partnerships with local stakeholder groups and their informed participation in decision-making are critical to the sustainability of project activities

3 Human capital

Expertise and efficiency gains and application of skills in practice

From an organisational perspective connecting online was a new way of communicating with and supporting local technical staff It was important to formalise

capacity building and to develop teaching tools and ways of sharing content despite internet connectivity issues For many programmes SPCrsquos years of investment in mentoring and in training during in-country visits facilitated a smooth transition to working virtually with local teams to build their capacity

This year several stories noted the need to provide capacity building before commencing a project or activity For example introducing new methods for collecting population data required training on using online electronic platforms to collate the data Stakeholders in the Pacific Territories Regional Project for Sustainable Ecosystem Management (PROTEGE) needed to know more about climate change and agroecology concepts before implementing new practices

SPCrsquos long-term commitment to supporting regional public goods enabled a strong response to COVID-19 For example timely reporting of epidemic and emerging diseases via the existing Pacific Public Health Surveillance Network (PPHSN) meant SPC and its partners were able to be proactive in providing tailored assistance to members and COVID-19 testing capacity to all PICTs

4 Social capital

A collaborative and participatory approach helped to foster trust and shared norms and values contributing to effectiveness

Enhanced collaboration with the tuna fishing industry was an important factor in completing a successful tuna tagging cruise in 2020 despite the restrictions imposed during the pandemic Strong collaborative efforts with national implementing partners such as Fijirsquos Ministry of Agriculture were critical to enhancing the countryrsquos food and nutrition security through increased crop diversity Building the capacity of these partners is vital for progress in sustainable agriculture

Early planning and collaborative work with partners and donors helped to strengthen the Pacific regionrsquos COVID-19 preparedness and response plan

The successful submission by the Pacific Regional Education Framework (PacREF) to the Global Partnership for Education demonstrated collaboration trust and goodwill and commitment to region-wide quality education with the six eligible countries agreeing to arrangements that will benefit an additional nine PICTs

LEARNING FROM OUR RESULTSAt the organisational level the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts tested SPCrsquos ability to be responsive and flexible While some planned activities either slowed or stopped due to COVID-19 others were implemented more quickly and new activities and partnerships were developed in direct response to the pandemic and membersrsquo priorities

SPCrsquos theory of change includes nine mechanisms or ways of working through which we achieve results The performance stories shared this year yielded ninety-five lessons with many common themes relating to these nine mechanisms as illustrated by the examples below

10

5 Demonstration effect

Exchanges work placements and internships enable observation understanding and trust in the systems and processes presented

A network of demonstration farms in Pacific overseas countries and territories (OCTs) was established through PROTEGE The network is based on existing farms to encourage sharing of knowledge through peer-to-peer learning The demonstration farms have changed the knowledge and practices of partners and have also positively affected members of the rural communities involved and local research institutions

SPC is committing time energy and resources to mainstream youth priorities and include youth voices in its high-level strategic planning processes For example input from over 1000 young people from 9 countries was included in the development of the Transition Plan for 2021 and the Strategic Plan for 2021+ Through these efforts SPC is demonstrating its commitment to the Pacific Youth Development Framework as well as leadership to others in the region

6 Peer learning

Building mutual learning and cooperation between PICTs

Similar to the demonstration effect and central to SPCrsquos programme of capacity building peer-to-peer exchanges reflect the Pacificrsquos long culture of sharing and learning together Although COVID-19 prevented several planned exchanges between PICTs there were still some successful examples in 2020 of peer learning within PICTs The project to provide upskilling in infection prevention and control for Vanuatu health workers responding to the pandemic involved participatory multidisciplinary training ensuring transparency and accountability and at the same time allowing those taking part to share their experience

7 Integration

Multiple types of knowledge and resources can be integrated to address complex problems

In 2020 SPC started to bring together relevant capabilities in a joint programme of work called Food Systems for Health Nutrition and Resilient Development to better address challenges and opportunities for PICTs SPCrsquos work covers many dimensions of food systems from water agriculture climate change and fisheries to public health trade and statistics We are therefore well positioned to support membersrsquo and partnersrsquo efforts to navigate food system solutions at national regional and global levels

SPC worked across divisions and engaged a diverse array of stakeholders in the fisheries sector to integrate and mainstream approaches to advance gender social inclusion and human rights

Our Regional Rights Resource Team (RRRT) and Social Development Programme (SDP) merged this year to form the Human Rights and Social Development Division (HRSD) The decision to merge was based on the common mandates and priorities of the two programmes and the recognition that combining them would amplify the effectiveness of their work

8 Purposeful project design

SPCrsquos understanding of different actors institutions and contexts resulted in effective outcomes

The value of purposeful project design including a people-centred approach was a recurring theme Consideration of environmental socio-economic and political contexts and cultural values ensured fit-for-purpose design and sustained the adoption and impact of new technologies such as the R2R decision support tools to improve land-to-sea governance and management

The development of SPCrsquos Transition Plan for 2021 purposely combined foresight and systems approaches to support management of uncertainty and appropriate allocation of resources to recovery efforts as part of the longer-term development of the Blue Pacific Continent

9 Feedback system

Assessment monitoring and evaluation tools and processes contributed to useful feedback and improvement

Closely monitoring user statistics and feedback enabled the development of the PDHstat platform and indicator dashboard to be adapted quickly to meet user demands

Lessons from adopting innovative ways of collating population data in the context of COVID-19 and beyond will be used to advance guidance to PICTs on the potential shift from traditional census methods to increased use of register-based approaches

The quality of coastal fisheries data collected using electronic data tools was enhanced by keeping in regular contact with surveyors and data users to ensure technical issues were resolved quickly and the system evolved to meet PICTsrsquo new needs

11

SPOTLIGHT ON COVID-19 HEALTH RESPONSE Though less affected than some regions of the world the Pacific has not been spared the effects of COVID-19 Since the onset of the pandemic SPCrsquos Public Health Division (PHD) has been working closely with members and partners to support COVID-19 prevention preparedness and response

SPC is part of the PHP-C and the Pacific COVID-19 JIMT The regional COVID-19 response is managed through the WHO-led JIMT which includes partners such as the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) the Pacific Island Health Officersrsquo Association (PIHOA) SPC and the United Nations Childrenrsquos Fund (UNICEF) The purpose is to ensure partners coordinate their activities and leverage their resources so that PICTs receive the guidance and supplies needed to strengthen their health emergency preparedness

Public health surveillance Clinical services

30

30 of PHDrsquos results were from new activities that directly

responded to the health-related impacts and risks

of COVID-19

PHD is the lead agency in the region for laboratory testing and laboratory surveillance for COVID-19 Testing is one of the key components in the fight against COVID-19 It allows countries to identify people who have the disease and to scale-up their health-care services if needed From the outset of the emergence of COVID-19 PHD was proactive in collaborating with partners and donors to provide testing capacity to all Pacific countries The team surveyed PICTs to assess the availability of GeneXpert equipment that could be used for automated coronavirus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and then worked with Cepheid Australia and the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office (WRPO) on the development and production of a GeneXpert coronavirus testing cartridge The cartridges were manufactured approved for use in April 2020 and used in testing in the Pacific from May 2020 The laboratory team has also provided ongoing technical advice to PICTs on COVID-19 testing

PHD has closely monitored the global and regional situation through its epidemic intelligence system and gathered data and produced weekly epidemiological reports on COVID-19 cases reported in the Pacific The SPC team gathers morbidity and mortality data and in collaboration with the Statistics for Development Division (SDD) makes it available through a single point of access on the SPC website COVID-19 Pacific Community Updates The site provides visualisation of information and access to the underlying data on COVID-19 cases and deaths via the Pacific Data Hub

Results achieved as part of regional public health surveillance and response are further described under Development Objective 8

Through its Clinical Services Programme SPC works with PICTs to provide guidelines and training as part of the COVID-19 regional response SPC is among others leading the work of the JIMT clinical services and nursing group Nineteen results were generated under clinical services in 2020 (5 of total development objective results) (Graph 7) Most results related to changes in knowledge or practice

Changes in knowledge resulted from training in COVID-19 clinical care and participation in meetings of Pacific Heads of Nursing and Midwifery (PHoNM) and Directors of Clinical Services Changes in practice were evidenced in network building actioning recommendations from the PHoNM meeting and testing and repair of biomedical equipment Outputs included intensive care and biomedical capacity assessments and procurement of oxygen concentrators and critical care equipment

Performance Story

Building nursesrsquo capacity to provide critical care during the COVID-19 pandemic ContextThe COVID-19 pandemic presented further challenges for the already resource-constrained health systems in PICTs Even in the best hospitals in countries around the world ICUs were stretched beyond capacity in coping with critically ill COVID-19 patients

As part of its response to the pandemic PHD conducted a regional ICU survey to understand the capacity of PICTs to manage COVID-19 patients The results highlighted an urgent need for upskilling of nurses to enable them to provide the intensive care that could be needed

Change process Funding from DFAT provided the opportunity to upskill PICT nurses The inaugural meeting of PHoNM in February 2020 had already strengthened nursing leadersrsquo networks Through the PHoNM network Ms Alison McMillan the Commonwealth Government Department of Healthrsquos Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer (Australia) was able to include PICT nurses in the surge critical care training that was developed for Australian nurses only

The training was designed to rapidly provide nurses with the minimum knowledge and skills required to work in high dependency or critical care settings such as ICUs Given the very limited number of intensive care nurses in PICTs it was anticipated that other nurses would be called on to provide critical care if there was a surge in the number of seriously ill COVID-19 patients As the course was online nurses were able to undertake the required upskilling while travel restrictions were in force

Results and impact A total of 114 nurses from 17 PICTs enrolled in the programme SPC worked closely with Pacific Heads of Nursing midwifery officers and clinical supervisors to provide continuous support to the nurses Overall 84 nurses from 15 PICTs completed the training ndash a 74 completion rate which was the same as for the Australian nurses undertaking the training Feedback from PICT nurses who completed the course was positive with 90 of them rating the training as excellent or very good and 98 indicating they gained a great deal of new information

CLINICAL SERVICES OUTCOMES IN BRIEF

Over 400 health-care workers including clinicians nurses and technical staff improved their understanding of COVID-19 following virtual webinars and training

44 oxygen concentrators and 844 items of critical care equipment and accessories were procured for 14 PICTs (received by Fiji and FSM and in process for others) Fiji Kiribati and Nauru also received ventilators

COVID-19 funding support was provided for 12 PICTs by various partners with funding decisions informed by an online survey of ICU (intensive care unit) capacity

Nurses from Fiji who took part in critical care training

Division PHDDonor Government of Australia

ldquoIt is quite helpful when caring for critical patients We now have the background and knowledge of how to use certain machines and how to approach them in a professional manner and how to manage these critical casesrdquo ndash Priyanka Anshu Dutt a registered nurse at Labasa Hospital Fiji who successfully completed the training

SPC worked with nursing leaders in-country and partners including WHO to assist the training For instance a Solomon Islands nurse reported that she had no access to a computer and internet use was expensive With the help

of SPCrsquos Regional Director Melanesia and WHOrsquos Country Office in Solomon Islands nurses were able to use the WHO facility to complete their training The completion rate for nurses from Solomon Islands improved from 9 before the intervention to 80

ldquoI am thankful for the support received We are now working closely with our remaining seven nurses using these available resourcesrdquo ndash Helen Orihao Director of Nursing National Referral Hospital Honiara

Lessons learned

bull The COVID-19 pandemic provided an opportunity for PICTs to explore innovative ways of continuing training for their health workforce Although online training has been available it is underutilised by the region

bull Online opportunities for the health sector need further support and development as the benefits of telehealth and continuing professional development are enormous

bull In-country training is a cost-effective option and maintains scarce health workforces in PICTs during training

bull In addition online training results in lower carbon emissions than face-to-face training

Pacific Community Results Report 2020DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE 1

Sixty-nine results were generated under this objective (18 of total development objective results) (Graph 8) Nearly 20 of results evidenced changes in practice in agroforestry sustainable land management uptake of fisheries data management apps and systems and meeting regional and international reporting requirements for fisheries and aquatic disease status

Stakeholders gained new knowledge from taking part in training in soil fertility and plant nutrition organic farming native tree nurseries fisheries science technology and data management and aquaculture Research on plant virus indexing drifting fish aggregation devices (FADs) and the Pacific Marine Specimen Bank also generated new knowledge

The high number of output-level results included mentoring and training technical assistance collection of plant genetic resources collection of marine species biological data development of technical reports information materials policies plans and draft legislation and data collection and processing

COVID-19 had less impact on the achievement of results in this objective compared with other SPC development objectives ndash it had little to no effect on 69 of results

(Graph 9) Negative impacts were mostly due to our inability to deliver on-the-ground technical assistance and air freight disruption which delayed the distribution of genetic resources and laboratory equipment COVID-19 accelerated progress for 10 of outcomes due to an influx of requests for plant material (with additional resources secured to respond) and the success of the tuna tagging cruise after the original plans for the expedition were adapted to comply with pandemic restrictions

Science technical assistance and innovation are the predominant mechanisms for delivering results under this objective followed by capacity strengthening (Graph 10)

SPCrsquos investments in the sustainable management of natural resources cut across priorities for healthy oceans food security and improved nutrition life on land

IntroductionSPC delivers high-quality science advice innovation technical assistance information and capacity development working alongside Pacific people governments and partners to support the sustainable management of natural resources

Through our Fisheries Aquaculture and Marine Ecosystems Division (FAME) Land Resources Division (LRD) Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Programme (CCES) and Geoscience Energy and Maritime Division (GEM) SPC makes a significant contribution to the management of natural resources Our areas of work include marine resources and ocean governance and management land agriculture forestry and genetic resources and water assessment and monitoring

bull Our scientific and technical work in fisheries and aquaculture supports environmental and economic sustainability food security health and prosperity and inclusive community ownership of and access to natural resources

bull Our action to strengthen seed systems through the work of CePaCT ndash one of our flagship areas ndash contributes to sustainable and resilient food systems and improved nutrition and health

bull Our technical assistance for establishing policies and practices that minimise flooding enhances the security of water catchments and supports preparation for droughts

Challengesbull Early evidence indicates that COVID-19 has had a significant impact on primary industries and natural resource

management affecting livelihoods food production value chains and fishing revenue The extent of support required in these areas is still emerging but will likely have long-term implications

bull Meeting the increase in demand for planting materials strained existing resources and required diversion from other activities until additional funding and human resources could be secured

bull The WCPFC requirement for observer coverage on purse-seine vessels was suspended given travel restrictions and the need to protect the health and safety of observers As a result there was increased dependence on other monitoring control and surveillance tools SPC had to rely on various sources of scientific and biological data in place of the at-sea sampling and data collection normally carried out by observers

ContextIn Kiribati most coastal fisheries have traditionally been open access with few restrictions for local fishers Before the adoption of new regulations in 2019 the existing legislation covered only certain aspects of coastal fisheries In addition community-based fisheries management (CBFM) did not have a clear legal basis and local projects and success stories were not able to be scaled up at national level

In 2017 the Government of Kiribati through its Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources Development (MFMRD) requested SPC to provide support for regulating coastal fisheries In particular new regulations were needed to increase the sustainability of coastal fisheries while still ensuring food security for local communities The new Coastal Fisheries Regulations 2019 provide a strong legal basis for CBFM and an opportunity to empower local communities to look after the marine resources they depend on for a living

Change process Under the MFAT-funded project Effective Coastal Fisheries Management a team worked collaboratively to identify the right fisheries management measures draft the legal provisions to make them enforceable provide legal training to Kiribati government officers and discuss the measures with government and non-government stakeholders

Adopting a participatory approach SPC and MFMRD worked in consultation with stakeholders and partners including partners in the Australian Government-funded Pathways Project (Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS) Tobwan Waara (the framework for New Zealandrsquos support for the marine resources sector in Kiribati) government agencies fishersrsquo associations and NGOs) to ensure smooth passage of the regulations through the national legal process

Results and impactThe first regulations dedicated to coastal fisheries conservation and management in Kiribati under the Fisheries Act 2010 were passed thanks to strong cooperation and the political will of the national fisheries agency SPC provided support on legal issues awareness raising and monitoring control and surveillance over a period of three years to assist the preparation and implementation of the new regulations

Despite travel restrictions due to COVID-19 SPC was able to provide continued mentoring and online support for implementing the regulations which are adapted to Kiribatirsquos cultural environment and are mindful of gender equality and human rights

ldquoSuccess will ultimately depend on voluntary compliance of fishers and communities with the new regulations and management measures In this effort the role of fisheries officers cannot be overstated they are the ones taking the journey from improved understanding of their laws to passion for educating their people and ability to balance enforcement with awareness raising on critical aspects of coastal fisheries managementrdquo mdash Tooreka Teemari Director of Coastal Fisheries MFMRD

Since the formal adoption of the regulations SPC has supported MFMRD in training fisheries authorised officers to ensure they are able to apply control inspection and enforcement procedures effectively

Lessons learned The project team learned valuable lessons during the development and initial implementation of the new regulations in particular the importance of

bull technical training in legislative drafting to familiarise MFMRD staff with the new regulations and assist their understanding of the adoption process for any future regulations or amendments

bull training in monitoring control and surveillance to ensure fisheries officers gained the skills needed to ensure compliance with the regulations (for instance how to conduct an inspection measure fish and collect evidence)

bull communication campaigns to encourage positive behaviour (eg training local champions) and discredit poor behaviour (eg through a popular radio drama) thereby empowering a broad range of people to support sustainable coastal fisheries management

During attachments at SPC headquarters two fisheries officers also learned how to develop a communication strategy and information and resource materials to raise awareness of the new regulations

With SPC support MFMRD produced an information toolkit in both I-Kiribati and English on the sustainable

use of marine resources to improve public support for the regulations and compliance The toolkit includes posters and signboards targeting schools and communities a handbook and a series of roll-up banners stickers and rulers for fisheries officers

Performance Story

Building a farmers network to mainstream agroecology in the Pacific ContextClimate change is a major threat to food systems in PICTs Increasing the resilience of these systems requires sustainable use of natural resources

To provide farmers and rural communities with the support they need to change their practices PROTEGE established a regional network of demonstration farms to promote sustainable use of renewable natural resources and biodiversity services through agroecology The network uses a people-centred approach which contributes to converting the concept of climate change adaptation into action in the field

Change processThe project is working with farmers in Pacific OCTs to develop innovations based on traditional practices sustainable use of renewable resources and nature-based solutions focused on strengthening biodiversity

SPCrsquos role is to support local partners involved in developing climate-smart on-farm experimentation and stimulating co-learning to produce new knowledge Partnerships with international organisations such as FAO provide the methodology for evaluating agroecology performance Universities with agroecology research departments contribute scientific support and farmers associations and local agricultural bodies participate in monitoring the trials and data analysis

The objective is to develop the rural stakeholdersrsquo understanding of agroecology and the key role of

biodiversity and soils in increasing the resilience of food systems to climate change Achieving this objective requires promoting a collective commitment to regenerative agriculture and agroforestry systems and empowering farmers especially through peer-to-peer learning schemes Despite COVID-19 travel restrictions some field days have gathered farmers from New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna who face similar issues related to climate change including new pests and diseases and declining soil fertility

Results and impactTwenty-seven demonstration farms were selected in New Caledonia French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna Initial assessments of the agroecological performance of the farms were completed in 2020 with the lowest scores being for biodiversity organic matter management and most of the resilience indicators These first assessments provided a basis for building the network action plan with the farmers Other assessments will be carried out throughout the project to monitor progress The project also enables collection of data to identify levers that local authorities can use to support the transition to agroecology

The results have inspired LRD to develop a mirror project in Pacific ACP (African Caribbean and Pacific States) countries with Kiwa Initiative funding The project will help strengthen regional integration and peer-to-peer learning between OCTs and the broader Pacific region and contribute to SPCrsquos integrated food systems programme

Lessons learnedThe project is constantly trying to balance the short-term needs and expectations of the farmers on the one hand and develop solid agroecological practices on the other hand in the mid to long term

Local agricultural extension services were not familiar with climate change issues and agroecology and this required knowledge transfer prior to the start of the activities to ensure the success of the project

The different partnerships (eg with universities and other international organisations) have helped to develop a strong multi-pronged approach that includes all the components of agroecology (agriculture practices gender community engagement)

The demonstration farms have resulted in changing the knowledge and practices of the project partners in addition to influencing other members of rural communities and local research institutions

One of the main keys to success has been the use of existing farms to set up the network of demonstration farms which allows knowledge to be shared through peer-to-peer learning schemes The farms use traditional practices and the farmers are open to using innovative approaches to solve tomorrows problems

Performance Story

Public-private partnerships cultivate sustainable seed systems in Tonga ContextFood and nutrition security is a critical development objective for PICTs requiring access to hardy high-yielding nutritious food crops In the Pacific region achievement of this objective is being supported by strategic partnerships that are successfully cultivating sustainable and robust seed systems

LRD programmes in genetic resources and sustainable agriculture have long supported countries in conserving accessing and using valuable food crops The Pacificrsquos regional genebank CePaCT facilitates the conservation and distribution of crop diversity to enhance both food and nutrition security and livelihoods

Change processIn 2018 CePaCT distributed over 200 tissue culture plants of sweet potato banana breadfruit and pineapple to MORDI TT (Mainstreaming of Rural Development Initiatives Tonga Trust) for characterisation field evaluation and selection of the best varieties Selection was based on adaptability yield and eating quality for local communities SPC supported transplantation of the tissue culture plants to soil and their acclimatisation in MORDI TTrsquos screen houses

Results and impact Sweet potato was the first crop evaluated by MORDI TT as it is generally fast maturing easy to cultivate and nutritious After the evaluation trial five varieties were

chosen and multiplied on MORDI TTs plots with the aim of distributing them to selected farmers to set up field plots The establishment of field plots provided an opportunity to determine community engagement and share lessons learned in regard to planting materials

MORDI TT successfully engaged larger-scale growers Taufa lsquoAhomersquoe and Manase Siua under a new initiative called the lsquoSeedling Bankrsquo which assists smallholder farmers to access planting materials and also supports wider distribution of selected varieties to local communities Engaging these farmers in multiplying climate-resilient varieties helped provide produce for their consumption and for sale in the local market while the suckers cuttings or vines brought back to MORDI TT were distributed to smallholders The materials will be further multiplied on these farms and shared with communities throughout Tonga These partnerships helped MORDI TT meet national demand for planting materials following the impact of TC Harold in April 2020

lsquorsquoTransformation of rural farming needs to be resilient and in order to do that we must have drought-resistant and resilient crops With the help of SPC we were able to receive several samples to propagate in the nursery that eventually were raised successfully and harvested for community distribution After COVID-19 households are now better prepared food security wise We look forward to a continued partnership with SPC for increased livelihood support not just for our local farmers but for our peoplersquorsquo ndash Soane Patolo CEO MORDI TT

Lessons learned

bull The public-private partnerships formed in Tonga by SPC (regional) the Ministry of Agriculture (government) MORDI TT (NGO) and larger-scale growers (private sector) provide an example of an effective approach to developing seed systems for other Pacific countries

bull These partnerships add value to the work of CePaCT by addressing key gaps in the characterisation and evaluation of crop varieties

bull Crop diversity is an important tool for overcoming current challenges building the resilience of local communities and sustaining food and nutrition security

Performance Story

Ridge to reef Decision support tool to assist governing and managing landndashsea ecosystemsContextThe Pacific region is 2 land mass and 98 water For lsquosmall island large oceanrsquo states understanding the links between land forests water coasts and the ocean is critical for sustainable development

Common threats to sustainability in PICTs include growing populations the effects of urbanisation on ecosystems and the impacts of logging commercial agriculture and fisheries Currently our understanding of the dynamics of landndashsea ecosystems is limited partly because terrestrial freshwater and marine specialists tend to work independently and there are few opportunities to take a fully integrated approach But now we are breaking new ground through the Pacific International Waters Ridge to Reef (IW R2R) project which SPC is executing regionally in 14 PICTs The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF)

In partnership with the Government of Vanuatu the project developed and tested a spatial prioritisation model (SPM) as part of mainstreaming R2R interventions in sustainable resource governance and management SPM supports national decision-making on landndashsea

ecosystems by enabling decision-makers to trial policy actions through identifying priority areas for conservation and protection exploring management scenarios and guiding investments Application of the model also fosters dialogue and assists in harmonising existing national governance frameworks

Change processThe R2R project is supported by a Regional Programme Coordination Unit in areas including science-based planning human capital development policy and strategic planning results-based management and knowledge sharing The project aims to test the mainstreaming of R2R climate-resilient approaches to integrated land water forest and coastal management in PICTs through strategic planning capacity building and piloted local actions to sustain livelihoods and preserve ecosystem services2

Regional guidelines endorsed by the 14-country multi-GEF agency Pacific R2R Regional Steering Committee were developed to support countries in applying the SPM and planning procedures

2 The R2R fine-scale spatially explicit decision-support framework for conservation actions was adapted applied and scaled up from previously developed tools for quantifying the effects of nutrient-enriched groundwater and sediment stream run-off on coral reefs in Fiji and Hawairsquoi

Calibrating seascape models with sediment impacts ecological surveys were conducted at 58 sample locations randomly placed on hard bottom habitats stratified by depth and distance from Tagabe stream using an equal random-stratified sample design

27

Lessons learnedSPC and the broader Pacific R2R Programme have learned valuable lessons from the development and application of SPM

bull Stakeholder understanding of the R2R approach is essential to ensure genuine engagement partnership and alignment of interventions to national interests throughout the process and beyond (relevance effectiveness and sustainability)

bull Adaptability is critical For example COVID-19 restrictions stalled the application of SPM in Solomon Islands To enable the trial to continue despite the constraints R2R scientists began extracting available global datasets for model analysis for future ground truthing by experts

bull It is important to identify champions from the community to the cabinet and to provide capacity building to enable them to support education application and advocacy (eg by providing policy briefs for policy-makers)

bull Understanding national contexts and values ndash environmental socio-economic political and cultural ndash is necessary to ensure fit-for-purpose design and effective and sustained adoption of new technologies for sustainable development

Division GEMDonor Global Environment Facility

Results and impactThe guidelines provide a user-friendly objective approach for identifying and selecting R2R interventions and reforms and coastal areas or sites to target for conservation action and for upscaling future R2R investments and integrated coastal management planning

The guidelines can be applied to a wide range of resource management and planning sectors from the mountain top or source on land to the reef and sea Operationally the guidelines are relevant to the work of scientists and managers who support the implementation of multi-sectoral natural resource management planning

ldquoWith growing population numbers our habitats and community livelihoods are at risk threatened by urbanisation logging and commercial agriculture The R2R framework and spatial planning procedure enable the mapping of priority areas that can improve land-to-sea governance and management by prioritising local conservation and management actionsrdquo ndash Chair of the Pacific R2R Programme Regional Steering Committee Minister of Environment and Tourism Palau and GEF political focal point

Performance Story

First Regional Framework on Aquatic BiosecurityContextAquaculture is an important and expanding sector in the Pacific providing food creating jobs and improving livelihoods However the sector faces significant biosecurity risks with the movement of people and goods import of various agriculture products including seafood and frequent introduction and reintroduction of aquatic species for aquaculture purposes These risks are coupled with limited border control measures national resources and capacity and infrastructure for safeguarding aquatic biosecurity

Aquatic biosecurity is a system of procedures to deal with the risks of diseases pests and other hazards in the aquatic environment Over the past five years SPC has provided its members with technical and financial assistance to develop national standards for importing and exporting aquatic organisms and products build capacity in aquatic animal welfare and disease management and establish governance systems including national aquatic biosecurity strategies and regulations

Despite these advances at national levels the lack of proper systems for managing aquatic biosecurity threats

in the region was recognised as risking the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species and exotic diseases loss of export markets and negative public perceptions of aquaculture products SPC members identified the need for a regional framework on aquatic biosecurity to further develop capacity in this area and to raise awareness in PICTs of the importance of managing biosecurity threats related to aquaculture

Change processThe status of aquatic biosecurity in the Pacific region was presented at the Second Regional Technical Meeting on Coastal Fisheries (RTMCF) in 2018 (Information Paper 06) As a result the meeting requested SPC to continue to develop capacity in aquatic biosecurity and provide advice to members A draft regional action plan on aquatic biosecurity was prepared by SPC as an outcome of the 11th Heads of Fisheries Meeting in 2019 The draft plan which incorporated case studies from FSM New Caledonia and Tonga was discussed at a workshop during the Third RTMCF in 2019 to assess membersrsquo readiness and capacity to implement a regional plan and also to identify challenges and capacity needs

Lessons learnedDeveloping a regional framework on aquatic biosecurity was a lengthy process requiring sustained participation and commitment by member countries and territories to providing guidance

The success of the framework can be attributed to

bull a highly consultative process ensuring national priorities are emphasised among the core technical areas of the framework

bull raising the profile within SPC of aquatic biosecurity as a key priority for the region which helped generate the senior management support needed

bull endorsement by leaders which was made possible by putting the framework on the agenda of important regional meetings such as Heads of Fisheries and Regional Forum Fisheries Ministers

The development of the framework has proved to be a helpful mechanism for SPC in seeking funding support from donor partners SPC members and other stakeholders contributed strongly to the development of the regional framework through their engagement including at meetings of the RTMCF Heads of Fisheries and Regional Fisheries Ministers

Results and impactRecognising that improved aquatic biosecurity was essential for sustainable aquaculture PICTs tasked SPC with assisting them to draft a regional strategy The resulting framework which was developed in close consultation with members was endorsed by the 12th Heads of Fisheries Meeting and recommended for implementation by the Regional Forum Fisheries Ministers Meeting in August 2020 The decision to implement the framework was the culmination of a high level of regional cooperation and ministerial-level engagement It is the first regional framework for aquatic biosecurity endorsed at this level in the Pacific

The Regional Framework on Aquatic Biosecurity now forms the basis for building membersrsquo capacity and

has increased interest in and ownership of biosecurity measures in several PICTs including FSM PNG Samoa and Tonga The framework sets out the direction for aquatic biosecurity gaps for engagement by stakeholders including members and partner agencies and areas for SPCrsquos support

Countries have recognised the importance of this regional framework and have already started implementing it at the national level for example by strengthening governance through developing national aquatic biosecurity strategies (PNG Samoa and Tonga) investing in aquatic biosecurity facilities (Solomon Islands) and conducting aquatic disease testing in their facilities (Fiji FSM Kiribati and Tonga)

IntroductionOur GEM Division delivers scientific and technical knowledge to reduce the carbon impact of existing energy networks including through using renewable energy while supporting access to clean and affordable energy for all Pacific people

We assist in developing technical solutions for a safer maritime sector through improved management implementation of safe practices and reduced carbon emissions from sea transport

Our work is underpinned by the concept of a lsquoGreen Economyrsquo supported by the Framework for Action on Energy Security in the Pacific (FAESP) and the Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific (FRDP)

Results dashboardsTwenty-three results were generated under this objective (6 of total development objective results) (Graph 15) Changes in practice led to reduced energy consumption and emissions for ports and transport vessels and improved capacity and systems for safe navigation Changes in knowledge included the certification of Aids to Navigation Managers in maritime administrations Outputs were linked to the development of regional frameworks and action plans review or drafting of policies and regulations risk assessments of the safety of navigation systems and related capacity building and vocational training in sustainable energy and ship safety

The impact of COVID-19 was mixed The pandemic had both negative and positive effects on progress for about 30 of results (Graph 16) Negative impacts were mostly due to inability to deliver on-the-ground technical assistance in areas such as risk assessment and emissions reduction Instead this support was provided remotely

However COVID-19 accelerated progress in other areas For example unused travel funds were redirected to assist PICTs to undertake purchase and maintenance of aids to navigation Travel restrictions also increased both the availability of in-country stakeholders and investment in the development of regional- and national-level qualifications as in-country training commitments reduced

Capacity strengthening and supporting an enabling environment for transport and energy security through law policy regulation and frameworks are the main instruments for delivering results under this objective (Graph 17)

For women in the Pacific economic inclusion remains a challenge and information on their engagement in sectors such as the energy sector is limited SPC sought technical assistance to support the development of the 2021ndash2030 Pacific Energy and Gender Strategic Action Plan (PEG SAP) for which it is the main regional implementing agency

The aim of the strategy is to increase womenrsquos engagement in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sector by reviving and strengthening the effectiveness of the PEG Network The initiative is being jointly undertaken by SPC and the Canadian Trade and Investment Facility for Development

First a gender-based analysis of the Pacific energy sector was done to understand the drivers and consequences of

bull lack of gender mainstreaming in energy policies and plans nationally and regionally

bull views that women are not suited to technical work in the energy sector

bull lack of involvement of women and youth in decision-making for community-driven energy projects

bull limited participation of women on public utility boards and in senior management

Using the results of the analysis a consultant worked with SPC to draft the PEG SAP which was validated by PICT stakeholders during a workshop in November 2020 An internal gender analysis report was also prepared for SPC It includes a gender mainstreaming and capacity development plan tailored to SPCrsquos Georesources and Energy Programme which will be principally responsible for implementing PEG SAP Frameworks for monitoring and evaluation a budget and costbenefit analysis and a resource mobilisation plan were also developed to support implementation of the strategy

This work will promote sustainable long-term and inclusive development paving the way for increasing womenrsquos participation and employment in the energy sector including as entrepreneurs tradespeople and professionals

Making data available to monitor the economic and social impacts of COVID-19 ContextCOVID-19 has had serious impacts on how people communicate work produce trade consume and live In 2020 many Pacific people lost their jobs business operations were scaled down and tax revenues dwindled as vital economic links weakened with the loss of tourism disruptions to international trade and reduced remittances These effects were felt across all the sources of livelihood that support PICT households

To assess the impacts and take appropriate measures governments needed data that their NSOs were unable to compile due to lockdowns and other restrictions SDD therefore investigated innovative ways of making data available and compiling near real-time short-term economic and social indicators to support monitoring and measurement of the pandemicrsquos impacts

Change processSDDrsquos actions included establishing a COVID-19 socio-economic indicators database with a dedicated page on the SDD website5 launching high-frequency phone monitoring (HFPM) surveys of households in partnership with the World Bank6 and collecting and publishing near real-time monthly and quarterly data on the economic impacts of COVID-19 from various national administrative sources⁷ and academic blogs on the pandemicrsquos impact on trade8 and tourism9

Results and impactThe change process generated positive results The availability of the short-term monitoring indicators gave national and regional policy-makers donors and development partners access to timely information with which to develop appropriate policies and budgets and also provided opportunities for the development of new partnerships

ldquoThe indicators provided useful information and the data showed the reality of the impact that COVID-19 has had on Pacific tourismrdquo ndash MFAT advisor

Visitor arrivals to PICTs fell sharply in the first six months of 2020 compared with the same period in 2019 due to border closures put in place because of COVID-19

The decline in tourism trade and remittances reduced foreign exchange earnings and government revenue and affected the viability of businesses and household incomes leading to lower standards of living for many families who had to turn to subsistence and informal activities as a means of survival

The results of the HFPM surveys piloted in PNG and Solomon Islands supported anecdotal evidence that people were resorting to home-based activities and other coping strategies Of the 3115 respondents in PNG 521 had taken children out of school and 35 had resorted to selling their own produce10 Of the 2679 respondents in Solomon Islands 57 reported they had reduced their food consumption due to loss of employment and income11

The change process also brought mostly administrative data from individual countries into a regional database for comparative analysis This has encouraged countries to move towards regular compilation of administrative data (eg employment data from national provident funds) for use as leading indicators

Lessons learnedThe social and economic crisis resulting from COVID-19 taught SDD and PICTs to respond quickly and appropriately to increased demand for data

The capacity constraints12 experienced by NSOs emphasised the need for SDD to support PICTs through providing technical assistance and capacity supplementation developing short-term monitoring indicators and expanding them to cover other sectors and strengthening the collection and dissemination of administrative data

Performance Story

Lessons learnedThe dashboard improved communication with the target audience including censussurvey managers survey managersrsquo supervisors and interviewers by enabling sharing of standardised information across all stakeholders The dashboard was also useful in measuring progress through analysing incoming data and tracking the progress of the fieldwork itself

The monitoring dashboard is an innovative survey management solution enabling SPC to provide remote support for PICT NSOs managing census and survey fieldwork The system can be adapted for use across different types of data collection and locations not only in the Pacific region but potentially globally It can also be adapted to meet specific country requirements

In 2021 SPC plans to use the monitoring dashboard to support other members conducting their census

ContextMany PICTs have updated their traditional data collection processes embracing new technology between 2010 and 2020 by committing to using tablet-based computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI)

The CAPI format is cost effective and user friendly and its self-correcting function means inconsistencies and mistakes are picked up and resolved during data capture making the post-enumeration phase much more efficient

However in many PICTs surveys are still conducted face-to-face and accurate monitoring of fieldwork is essential

Change processIn November 2020 Kiribati and Vanuatu undertook their national population and housing census COVID-19 travel restrictions meant technical assistance had to be provided remotely SPC therefore developed a real-time online data management system and interactive monitoring dashboard to support both the Kiribati and Vanuatu NSOs The new data monitoring dashboard was custom-built using the lsquoRrsquo programming language and lsquoShinyrsquo software framework

As a semi-automatic process the dashboard provides a single tool that enables SPC to share information and technical advice more consistently while tailoring the application to the specific needs of individual countries

Results and impactThe programme provides users with a wide range of functionality to quickly assess trends and anomalies These tools help to improve field monitoring supervision and data timeliness and quality control

The data accuracy checks in the post-interview process include validation conditions with extensive checks for unanswered questions inconsistencies and outliers

As part of the monitoring dashboard geographic visualisation of fieldwork provides an additional way to monitor progress and identify potential problems For example map-based tools capture the progress of fieldwork while also investigating quality control issues and communicating problems visually

The dashboard enables survey supervisors to provide census coordinators with valid evidence of difficulties in the field In instances of poor performance by enumerators retraining or replacement can be considered

ldquoThe dashboard is superbly helpful for our monitoring ndash even the maps with red and orange points really help us in spotting errors as well I viewed the dashboard every day and managed to download the check files and send them over to my headquarters to deal with any errors and inconsistencies in the interviews from the fieldrdquo ndash Agnether Lemuelu Social Statistician NSO Ministry of Finance and Economic Development Kiribati

IntroductionClimate change and disasters affect all the sectors in which SPC works We therefore use a multi-sectoral approach to address climate change developing and implementing both mitigation and adaptation measures and coordinating membersrsquo efforts to apply specific climate solutions including accessing climate change finance

We assist PICTs in areas within our mandate to plan climate change and disaster risk management strategies and strengthen national responses in line with international commitments (eg the Paris Agreement) Through our GEM LRD and CCES divisions and multidisciplinary technical and scientific teams we support the design and implementation of integrated adaptation and risk reduction solutions to enhance resilience to climate change and disasters in areas including

bull natural resources (agriculture coasts and ocean aquaculture fisheries forestry water)

bull food security

bull human and social development (education health sanitation culture gender youth human rights)

Sixty-one results were generated under this objective (16 of total development objective results) (Graph 23) A quarter of results showed changes in knowledge through research on climate-smart agriculture and water management and through training provided for farmers ocean sector stakeholders and emergencydisaster management personnel

There were changes in practice for control of coconut rhinoceros beetle uptake of food-cube technology application of economic analysis for protected cropping improved ocean services and maritime safety information and use of marine and coastal assessment data in decision-making and management such as early warning systems for coastal inundation and the design of coastal protection structures

The high number of output-level results included training manuals for crop production and pest and disease management training in disaster risk and integrated coastal management assessments for climate change vulnerability disaster risk and groundwater data collection and ocean datasets management and technical response plans and the development of Green Climate Fund (GCF) concepts benefiting PICTs

COVID-19 had a negative impact on the achievement of 37 of the results under this objective mostly due to limitations on providing in-person training and coaching and procurement of services The pandemic also altered the priorities of national stakeholders (Graph 24) However it had a positive impact on progress for a handful of assessments and analyses that were undertaken as desktop studies in place of field assessments

OUTCOMES IN BRIEF

Over 260 farmers benefited from plant disease diagnostics with 315 diagnoses made by the Plant Health Clinic in 2020

75 food cubes were distributed and established in Funafala Island Tuvalu using specially developed compost recipes that meet the nutritional requirements of local vegetable crops

7 national meteorological and hydrological services produced monthly ocean outlooks improving communication and the availability of information on ocean services and maritime safety

The NDC Hub assisted PICTs to implement their climate targets as per the Paris Agreement through enhancing NDC quality and supporting national legislation and regulations

Challengesbull COP26 was postponed to November 2021 due to COVID-19 and there is uncertainty over global climate

negotiations

bull Climate change financing mechanisms are complex and may overwhelm the capacity of countries

bull Increased access to data and knowledge on climate adaptation and mitigation is needed to articulate the climate rationale and monitor progress against baselines for greenhouse gas emissions and the populations affected

Graph 26 Results for multi-sectoral responses to climate change and disasters by primary SDG

Investments in disaster and climate change-related science technical assistance innovation and capacity strengthening are the main mechanisms for delivering outputs under this objective Assistance for legislative and regulatory frameworks improving emergency responses and developing water infrastructure are also important in addressing service gaps in these areas (Graph 25)

SPCrsquos investments in multi-sectoral responses to climate change and disasters cut across more SDG themes than any of our other development objectives These themes include food security and improved nutrition sustainable cities and communities clean water and sanitation healthy oceans life on land quality education partnerships and strong institutions (Graph 26)13

Performance Story

Applying an integrated approach to building climate resilience Securing food resources and adopting healthy lifestyles in Marshall IslandsContextThe Marshall Islandsrsquo atolls are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change During droughts especially residents in the outer atolls face food and water shortages that affect their health and livelihoods Subsistence agriculture ndash previously an important activity in the outer atolls ndash has declined in recent years because of a trend away from farming to other forms of employment and the availability and convenience of imported processed food

Change process Recognising that a very limited variety of food is available to people living in the outer atolls the EU ndash North Pacific ndash Readiness for El Nintildeo (RENI) project implemented by SPC with the Government and people of the Republic of the Marshall Islands integrated atoll agriculture with health and wellness activities to help the Ailuk community understand the connections between good nutrition regular exercise and overall wellness The work involved

bull re-establishing atoll agriculture through training agricultural extension agents setting up community nurseries installing additional water storage providing tools and equipment introducing biological control of pests promoting the cooking and preservation of locally grown crops and delivering extensive hands-on training supported by simple guides in the local language

bull combining nutrition and wellness activities in partnership with a locally based NGO Activities included basic health checks health education and outreach and establishment of exercise clubs and cooking classes with the Ailuk community

ldquoWe loved the cooking classes and even tried new food like mung bean sprouts and lentils We really had no clue on many of the cooking methods but now consider ourselves experts Being part of the exercise group has been very enjoyable We were taught various exercises that increase better blood circulation to organs such as the heart and lifting exercises that build our muscles and increase our strength for better coordination and movementrdquo ndash Hemly Anious resident of Ailuk Atoll

Results and impact The residents of Ailuk particularly women now have a better understanding and the necessary skills and equipment to grow and consume their own crops and create healthier more active lifestyles for themselves and

their families The results are directly benefiting about 350 people living in Ailuk Atoll

The approach which was trialled by the RENI project is now being scaled up to include the atolls of Jaluit and Majuro through the support of a sister project Global Climate Change Alliance Plus ndash Scaling up Pacific Adaptation (GCCA+ SUPA) The project is directly benefiting 1800 people living in Jaluit Atoll and 15500 people living in selected communities in Majuro Atoll Eventually the project hopes to include people living in other outer atolls of Marshall Islands

ldquoIn these uncertain times and as a farmer myself I would like to express my deep appreciation for the ongoing efforts by the RENI project in building on the existing policies of the government to revive subsistence farming in our islands I would like to urge us all to start our own gardens in anticipation of reaping the fruits of our labour in the very near futurerdquo ndash Hon Sandy Alfred Minister of Natural Resources and Commerce Marshall Islands

Lessons learnedBehavioural change such as encouraging people to move from using imported foods to growing and eating locally grown foods cannot be fully achieved in a project time frame of four to five years The approach described here was trialled by RENI (2017ndash2020) and is now being scaled up by GCCA+ SUPA (2019ndash2023) covering a period of more than seven years

Partnerships with local stakeholder groups are essential to sustain the projectrsquos achievements The project recognised from the start that these partnerships would bring collective contextual expertise and valuable local knowledge to the project and ensure sustainability beyond the project time frame More than seven government and non-government partners were involved in the RENI project and a local NGO is taking a lead role in implementing the GCCA+ SUPA project activities The NGO is building its technical and management capacity while also making a critical contribution to the sustainability of the work

The project is

Performance Story

Reforestation in Fiji improves climate resilience and enhances community skills ContextTree planting has long been used to mitigate climate change in many countries In addition to their roles in climate change mitigation biodiversity and ecosystem services trees and forests ensure the protection of culturally important species that are part of the traditional dress ornaments and ceremonies of Pacific communities

Change processIn late 2019 LRDrsquos Sustainable Forestry and Landscape Management programme partnered with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and Fijirsquos Ministry of Waterways and Environment to implement the GEF 5 STAR Ridge to Reef (R2R) programme R2R focuses on reforestation land-use planning community natural resource management training and legislative review of forestry-related policies and laws The programme was carried out in four water catchments in Viti Levu and Vanua Levu Labasa Tunuloa Ba and Waidina

The LRD team collaborated with the Ministries of Forestry and Agriculture to launch R2R A diversity of people ndash men women youth and vulnerable groups ndash took part in the entire process from early scoping and consultation to purchase of seedlings land preparation planting and maintenance

Results and impactNanoko village in the Ba water catchment was one of the R2R sites With Fiji experiencing the impacts of COVID-19 the Nanoko community continued with tree planting while maintaining social distancing They planted 14730 trees on 28 hectares including native and fruit tree species as part of efforts to reforest degraded land and established a holding nursery for the village to store trees for reforestation

The R2R project is also working on creating an inclusive environment for vulnerable people in partner communities In July 2020 a joint verification team from SPC and the Ministry of Forestry inspected areas that

had been reforested in the Tunuloa water catchment The team was invited to Kanakana village to visit Isikeli Tuiwainunu and his nursery He is no ordinary man At the age of 87 and paralysed from the waist down he was still eager to contribute to R2R by undertaking his own reforestation activities at the Tunuloa catchment His enthusiasm for the project was clear as the verification team visited his compound He moves through his small plantation by crawling but this has not dampened his spirit or desire to propagate and manage his seedlings He has managed to plant approximately 100ndash150 pots of native tree species along with sandalwood and fruit trees

ldquoI am old and half paralysed so I struggled to have my small nursery prepared and I thank God that my prayers are answered with the arrival of officers to witness my workrdquo ndash Isikeli Tuiwainunu Kanakana village Fiji

The Ministry of Forestry has committed to providing 1000 polythene bags seedlings and nursery greenhouse materials for Isikeli Tuiwainunu The seedlings will later be purchased for reforestation

Lessons learned When providing cheques for R2R seedlings in the Labasa and Tunuloa water catchments the Prime Minister of Fiji the Hon Frank Bainimarama said the initiative taken by nursery owners not only uplifted the economy but also ecosystems He challenged the people of Fiji to take part in the tree planting revolution

Community natural resource management training is a major part of the R2R programme strengthening knowledge and skills in areas such as climate change sustainable forests land management agroforestry farm management and REDD+ (Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation)

The project creates pathways to ensure its outcomes directly add value to the work of its stakeholders and contribute to overall national goals and objectives

IntroductionThe Human Rights and Social Development (HRSD) Division leads SPCrsquos support for human rights gender equality and social inclusion youth and culture

HRSD was formed in September 2020 by merging the Regional Rights Resource Team (RRRT) and Social Development Programme (SDP) The results for each programme have been reported separately in this 2020 report (combined reporting of HRSD results will begin in 2021)

RRRT was built around three main areas of work and key stakeholders

bull Work with governments to promote and protect human rights and fulfil human rights commitments

bull Work to improve access to justice for women and girls in cases of domestic violence

bull Work with civil societies and communities to promote human rights and gender equality and end violence against women and girls

SDP worked in the areas of culture gender youth and social inclusion generating knowledge and building member capacity including of governments and civil society and promoting coherent policies and mainstreaming strategies

FAME GEM and LRD also contributed results under this objective In addition people-centred approaches and our Social and Environmental Responsibility policy are being mainstreamed across the breadth of our scientific and technical work

Sixty-seven results were generated under this objective (18 of total development objective results) Social development results demonstrate the long-term transformational changes brought about by SPCrsquos investments in human rights governance gender and youth social inclusion and culture in collaboration with members civil society and other partners (Graph 27)

Almost half the results were outcomes relating to changes in knowledge practice or attitudes or higher-level impacts Changes in knowledge related to increased understanding or competencies following training coaching and mentoring in gender issues domestic violence human rights advocacy and legislation

New knowledge was also generated through research and analysis publications and tools Changes in practice included human rights campaigns implementation of human rights mechanisms more people accessing domestic violence legal services and more orders issued in domestic violence cases

Outputs included convening workshops or delivering training on social development issues development of roadmaps or strategies gender statistics and analysis gender assessments policy briefs guides and handbooks draft legislation and outreach and advocacy activities

The impact of COVID-19 was mixed with the pandemic both negatively and positively affecting progress (Graph 28) Negative impacts related to COVID-19 response and economic recovery efforts being prioritised over social development activities Travel restrictions changes in resource allocation (ie budgets) and the lsquoopportunity costrsquo of a refocus of country counterpartsrsquo work resulted in less training being delivered and the postponement of key events such as the Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture and the 14th Triennial Conference of Pacific Women However COVID-19 accelerated progress in other areas

Challengesbull COVID-19 led to the prioritising of domestic violence legislation and services due to increased violence but other

areas of work such as institutional responsiveness and cultural development were lesser priorities

bull Emerging priority sectors for HRSD include support for social work and mental health in response to COVID-19 and increased support for gender mainstreaming in disaster reduction and adaptation

bull Merging the RRRT and SDP programmes into the HRSD Division while continuing operations in the COVID-19 context required adaptation patience and resilience on the part of staff

bull Limited human resources restrict our ability to respond to increasingly complex requests for technical assistance from members and SPC divisions

Performance Story

Upsurge in domestic violence during COVID-19 lockdowns highlights relevance of Regional Working Group supporting implementation of laws ContextMost Pacific countries have enacted domestic violence or family protection laws in the past 12 years providing legal protection for women children and survivors While the legislation is welcome its implementation in Pacific contexts is challenging

The Pacific Regional Working Group (RWG) on the Implementation of Domestic ViolenceFamily Protection Legislation was established in October 2018 to ensure more effective implementation of the legislation It has 11 member states (Cook Islands FSM (Kosrae and Pohnpei States) Fiji Kiribati Marshall Islands Nauru Samoa Solomon Islands Tonga Tuvalu and Vanuatu) Fiji is the first Chair of the RWG and HRSD provides the secretariat

During COVID-19-related lockdowns from February to April 2020 there was a sharp increase in domestic violence cases in the Pacific Women seeking help faced added barriers because of their proximity to the perpetrator restrictions on their movement and curfews Around the world there were similar increases in violence linked to lockdowns

The RWG has become even more relevant for member states during the pandemic because it is considered a reliable source of data and innovative practices to improve protection services

Change processThe creation of the RWG was a demand-driven process Following a regional consultation on ways to ensure more effective implementation of legislation on domestic violence and family protection member states decided to form the RWG An in-person meeting in May 2019 was followed by two virtual meetings in November 2019 and April 2020

Three subcommittees were set up to progress work on domestic violence counselling national advisory councils and collation of statistics Weekly updates were emailed to members during the height of the COVID-19 crisis in the Pacific region (MarchndashMay 2020) and regular catch-up emails have been sent since then

The RWGrsquos work and communication encouraged high-level officials from ministries mandated to implement

58

legislation on domestic violence to share their data challenges and best practices for tackling the issues

Results and impactThe RWG raised awareness of the importance of continuing to provide services to survivors during the pandemic and the need to adapt services (eg remote counselling providing protection orders over the phone and making shelters available as an essential service) Member countries implemented innovative practices including online support new toll-free numbers and dashboards to monitor domestic violence

Intelligence on domestic violence is now gathered at the regional level RRRT used the information in a report on the increase in domestic violence against women during the COVID-19 restrictions that was submitted to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women (June 2020)

Lessons learnedThe challenges of implementing domestic violence legislation are similar across countries and having a space for a regional conversation on how to address the difficulties was much needed HRSD provides leadership as the secretariat of the RWG but the agenda is set by the members who also participate in the subcommittees

The RWG has found that having the right person at the table is essential ndash that is high-level representation from ministries in charge of implementing the legislation This means that decision-makers are present as well as representatives who have the technical knowledge to talk about implementation and what works

COVID-19 has increased the focus on ensuring that government services and processes can be accessed by those in need (eg lsquoAre legislation and services responsive in times of crisis) The RWG has become the best place to talk about what needs to be improved and what works elsewhere

Performance Story

Leaving no one behindContextGender equity and social inclusion and human rights (GESI and HR) are often not well understood in the fisheries sector As a result there are missed opportunities to design programmes that incorporate the diverse needs of the people and groups affected Recent policies reinforce the importance of the human dimension of fisheries including equitable sharing of benefits inclusive decision-making and consideration of the differing needs levels of use and access to natural resources and marine spaces for women and men girls and boys and marginalised groups Putting these policies into action requires practical tailored guidance and tools that fisheries practitioners find easy to grasp and apply

Change processThrough the PEUMP programme (PacificndashEuropean Union Marine Partnership) SPC contributes to strengthening GESI and HR in fisheries programmes through mainstreaming capacity development training and mentoring focused studies and development of practical tools In a multi-partner approach SPC divisions including FAME HRSD and LRD are working with the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) University of the South Pacific (USP) Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and other agencies

Results and impact

SPC delivered a series of training sessions and mentorship on GESI and HR in fisheries to 124 participants They included 41 fisheries staff (31 women 10 men) from 9 PICTs (Cook Islands Fiji FSM Kiribati Marshall Islands Samoa Solomon Islands Tonga and Vanuatu) 42 USP staff and students (30 women 12 men) 24 FFA staff (13 women 11 men) and 17 staff (9 women 8 men) from small-medium aquaculture enterprises in 6 PICTs (Fiji Kiribati Palau PNG Solomon Islands and Tonga)

The training increased the participantsrsquo awareness and understanding and their openness to continue working towards more equitable outcomes In feedback on the training the 41 fisheries staff from 9 PICTs gave high ratings to their ability to incorporate their learning in their work (456 out of 5) and to their increased understanding of the GESI and HR-based approach to coastal fisheries and aquaculture (413 out of 5) 94 stated that the workshop challenged them to think critically and all agreed they will be able to incorporate what they have learned in their work Similarly 92 of USP participants rated their ability to incorporate their learning in their work as high or very high

To ensure the training was practical and relevant for fisheries stakeholders in the region tailored material was produced including the Pacific Handbook for gender equity and social inclusion in coastal fisheries and aquaculture First published in 2019 the handbook was well received by partners and national fisheries agencies as the first Pacific-specific guide on GESI to provide simple tools for use in a fisheries context It is being used widely to support training and guide various GESIHR-based activities Three additional modules on community engagement livelihoods and coastal management approaches were added to the handbook in 2020 This work was informed by a wide range of stakeholders including FAME HRSD and LRD staff

Training activities draw on focused studies on GESI and HR-based approaches including gender and fisheries assessments and desktop reviews conducted to provide a strong evidence base inform policy and strategically guide projects This work is also described in an online article and blog

Lessons learnedTransforming social norms through GESI and HR-based approaches is a long process This work incorporated lessons learned from past work with the following factors contributing to the success of efforts to incorporate GESI and HR in Pacific fisheries

bull Using illustrative case studies and tailored training that fisheries staff could easily relate to and breaking down the often abstract concepts of GESI and HR-based approaches

bull Inviting guest speakers with field experience who embrace GESI and HR concepts in their work to share stories

bull Allowing open discussion and sufficient time for feedback reflection and critical thinking

bull Building closer relations with partners and investing in mentoring and capacity building

It is also helpful to remember that everyone involved in this work has the responsibility of being a role model and empowering others to be change agents in their communities

Performance Story

Support for successful campaign to raise age of consent and marriage for Pohnpei State ContextA countryrsquos laws are important for protecting its citizens especially the vulnerable and marginalised including children

International human rights conventions are effective in holding states accountable and serve as a guide for national legislation to safeguard vulnerable groups The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) categorises children as being between 0 and 18 years old Accordingly 18 years is the minimum age of marriage set by most countries around the world

While some countries in the Pacific have ratified CRC and have changed their marriage laws to comply with international human rights treaties others such as FSM have only recently acknowledged the importance of protecting children from early marriage

In two of FSMrsquos four states the age of consent and marriage is between 13 and 16 years with many young girls being married to men sometimes twice their age Early marriage for these lsquochild bridesrsquo often means they are unable to pursue their dreams of higher education and go on to secure work opportunities or economic empowerment

Change processHRSD provided support to the Care Micronesia Foundation (CMF) a civil society organisation in FSM for its campaign to raise the age of consent The support was in the form of a grant and mentoring under the Pacific People Advancing Change (PPAC) project funded by the Government of Sweden

CMFrsquos campaign included a round-table discussion attended by representatives of Pohnpei State Public Health the Pohnpei State Legislaturersquos Committee on Health church leaders traditional leaders and womenrsquos groups

In 2020 CMF disseminated education materials via a video and radio campaign to raise awareness of the legislation and change in the age of consent and marriage and to support its implementation

ldquoThe assistance in the form of a grant provided by SPCrsquos PPAC project built the capacity of CMF to advocate on this serious issue to the wider public and to important stakeholders and empowered them to lobby the Pohnpei State Legislature to make this change in the age of consent a reality PPAC did a great job in helping us raise the age of consent and marriageable age which opened the eyes of a lot of people in FSM who are slowly adapting to this changerdquo ndash Shelyane Lohn CMF Manager

Results and impactFollowing CMFrsquos campaign the Pohnpei State Legislature raised the age of consent and marriage from 16 to 18 years in 2019 CMFrsquos manager said the change in legislation was made possible through rigorous lobbying and advocacy in collaboration with churches public health authorities and local womenrsquos groups The legislation will provide much-needed protection for children especially young girls It can also be used to persuade families and communities not to marry off their daughters when they are still children

Lessons learnedDuring the advocacy campaign HRSD supported CMF to establish partnerships with the Pohnpei Police Pohnpei State Government Pohnpei Women Council youth and church groups Strong and diverse coalitions are essential to highlight the benefits of updating the legislation and to achieve sustainable social change

While the change in legislation for Pohnpei is a success worth celebrating CMF hopes to continue its public education and awareness campaigns

ldquoThe lobbying and advocacy to change the age of consent and marriage has created greater awareness in our students and children I think the children in our communities and schools now realise they too have rights that can protect them We wish to continue our campaigns until the rates of customary marriages and teenage pregnancies droprdquo ndash Shelyane Lohn

Performance Story

RRRT key driver of an historic moment 84th Extraordinary Session of the Committee on the Rights of the Child held in Samoa ContextAccording to UNICEF rates of violence against children in the Pacific Islands are among the highest in the world The ratification of international human rights treaties such as CRC and their implementation through national legislation policies and services can help protect the most vulnerable

Major UN human rights treaties have lsquotreaty bodiesrsquo with independent experts mandated to monitor State parties compliance with their treaty obligations A small delegation from a country under review usually has to travel to Geneva for the review process

Despite decades of advocacy multiple reports and position papers highlighting the potential benefits of holding sessions outside Europe or North America no UN treaty bodies had ever held a regional session outside of Geneva or New York ndash that is until March 2020

Change processRRRT implemented the Pacific Commonwealth Equality Project from 2018 to 2020 and reserved funding in the expectation of attracting a UN treaty body to the Pacific The team worked with Justice Clarence Vui Nelson of Samoa a member of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the RRRT Advisory Board to advocate holding the 84th Session of the CRC in Samoa

The countries under review during the 84th session were Cook Islands FSM and Tuvalu The agenda also included the issues to be adopted for Kiribatirsquos review Planning of the extraordinary session started in October 2019 and agreement to hold it in Samoa was secured in late 2019

CRC84 was a UN event with SPC as the key delivery partner RRRT supported the organisation and logistics of the event and funded the participation of partners and representatives from the region including from civil society Other important implementation partners were the CRC Secretariat CRC Bureau Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) Government of Samoa UNICEF and the UN Resident Coordinatorrsquos Office in Fiji

Results and impactCRC84 is the first and only regional session of a UN treaty body to have been held outside Geneva or New York The session engaged over 1000 people from across the Pacific and achieved several results and impacts attributable to its hosting in Samoa

One of the most notable results was the participation and empowerment of over 300 children from Samoa Fiji and Vanuatu They engaged in thematic discussions during three sessions (climate change CRCrsquos anniversary and issues important for children) and all side events were

moderated or co-moderated by a child In a subsequent survey of 56 children 98 reported improved knowledge and skills 91 had learned about CRC and 84 had made new contacts

Other significant results included the enhanced capacity of the Committee the contextualisation of its concluding observations increased awareness of CRC and other treaties and formation of new commitments and partnerships New practices were implemented such as holding an abridged session and having the rights holders at the centre of the review process

The success of CRC84 has the potential to influence the whole UN treaty body system and ways of working Follow-up advocacy has included two panel events to raise awareness of the outcomes including a side event at the UN General Assembly

ldquoAs a child I have found it to be very reassuring to see and know that the Committee members and everyone who has attended cares and values my rights as a child within the Pacific Thank yourdquo ndash a young participant

ldquoThere has been more engagement more child participation than I have ever seen in my time as a member of the CRC This has been a significant advantagerdquo ndash Benyam Dawit Mezmur Committee member

Lessons learnedThe meaningful participation of children was the highlight of CRC84 An important lesson from this experience is that their participation also increased the childrenrsquos expectations for advancing the issues they raised

Some of these issues were serious For future events it would be prudent to develop a comprehensive follow-up plan beforehand with children leading the process from concept development through to subsequent activities

Output

Thirty-one results were generated under this objective (8 of total development objective results) (Graph 31) More than one-quarter of results were changes in practice These were evidenced through implementation of NCD-related policies legislation plans or guidelines use of research to guide decision-making distribution and use of CePaCT materials and strengthened national NCD initiatives led by ministers or parliamentarians Outputs included the development or review of NCD plans legislation and policies NCD advocacy and health promotion training data dissemination and distribution of plant samples and documentation of selected crop varieties

COVID-19 had an impact on the achievement of the majority of results (61) under this objective mostly due to travel restrictions that limited in-country training and capacity support high-level advocacy and collaboration (Graph 32) However it accelerated progress in some areas due to an increase in requests for plant samples as part of our membersrsquo responses to TC Harold and the pandemic

Technical assistance followed by capacity strengthening and support for law policy and strategies are the main mechanisms for delivery of results under this objective (Graph 33)

Examples of progress in implementing the Pacific NCD Roadmap in 21 PICTs (2017ndash2018 versus 2019ndash2020)

Regional accountability supports PICT efforts to reduce NCDs The Pacific NCD crisis has been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and the threat of other infectious diseases In 2014 Pacific Leaders approved the Pacific NCD Roadmap and MANA was established to monitor progress on implementation The MANA dashboard developed in 2017 is used to present updates on implementing the Roadmap

The updated dashboards for 2020 (below) showed significant progress The establishment of functional multi-sectoral NCD taskforces in seven additional PICTs is further evidence that PICTs recognise the importance of coordination across sectors in reducing NCDs Preliminary findings from studies in some PICTs show that increasing taxes on unhealthy products such as tobacco have resulted in decreased consumption of these items While the full impact of these measures will take time to be seen these improvements all contribute to halting and reversing the NCD crisis Despite progress several policy actions still need to be strengthened

PICTs acknowledge the value of the MANA regional accountability mechanism in identifying gaps informing strategic planning and tracking progress at both national and regional levels

ldquoThis is a great opportunity for us from Tonga to see where we are at with our policy and legislation with regards to NCDs and it is also an opportunity to reflect on our status and areas that we need to strengthen to tackle NCDs in Tongardquo ndash Dr Reynold Ofanoa Ministry of Health Tonga

Looking to 2021bull Support Pacific engagement in the Food Systems Global Summit including convening a Pacific regional dialogue

to bring together evidence in relation to agriculture food security fisheries health (including NCDs) climate change and trade

bull Continue to engage with members and partners to develop an integrated programme of work to better understand Pacific food systems and develop interventions that are sustainable and increase resilience

bull Continue development of the regional legislative framework for NCDs and policy guidance

bull Further mobilise governments civil society and youth groups to engage in NCD prevention and control

bull Support the development of health promotion resources and services to improve systems for NCD prevention and care

bull Strengthen NCD-related accountability mechanisms through the Pacific Monitoring Alliance for NCD Action (MANA) and operational research findings

Performance Story

Fiji and Vanuatu youth ambassadors use art to scale up NCD actionContextEmpowering young people to advocate for positive change in their communities is key to reducing NCDs Wake-Up ndash a regional project that SPC initiated in 2017 ndash provided young people with education and training on communication techniques to raise awareness about NCDs through various arts including film painting freehand drawing photography and composition of lyrics

The Pacific Youth Ambassadors Programme was launched in 2020 to build on the success of Wake-Up and to enable trainees to use the communication techniques they learned to design their own NCD-related projects for their communities

Change processTrained youth ambassadors from Fiji and Vanuatu designed and implemented innovative projects for their home countries with SPC providing technical and financial support for all aspects of the programme

In Fiji Sabeto Nadi (comprising five villages) and Yadua village in Sigatoka were selected as project sites A week-long workshop was held at the sites in September and October respectively with more than 80 participants taking part in each one The project focused on establishing the level of community knowledge about NCD risk factors followed by community education sessions using artwork to highlight the links between risk factors and common NCDs in Fiji

In Vanuatu trained youths partnered with lsquoWan Smolbag Theatrersquo a grassroots NGO to organise an lsquoNCD Mural and Fun Dayrsquo in October 2020 The project held a week-long workshop at Wan Smolbag with 13 youths and 60 students (aged 13

to 16) from Port Vila Central School took part in painting a mural

Results and impactYoung people and their communities fully engaged in the project As well as developing their skills in art the trainees gained experience in leading the implementation and management of projects to prevent NCDs They also learned the importance of capitalising on partnerships For example in Sabeto the villages collaborated with the Fiji Agromarketing Authority to learn more about preparing their home gardens and sourcing seedlings for planting The partnership will increase both physical activity and healthy eating in the community

Though the impact on reducing NCDs will not occur in the short term the project demonstrated successful community outreach and increased knowledge and awareness on NCD-related issues at the community level The training in using art for communication will enhance opportunities for future employment for both the youth and community members who took part The project also promoted collaboration between development partners For example young people who participated also acted as mentors in an art programme organised by the SDP and USAID to commemorate UN International Youth Day 2020

ldquoThe programme has been an eye opener for many of us and a valuable platform to communicate our NCD knowledge and express our art skills For some of us with the current pandemic situation the training has not only been a refresher but a breath of fresh air too given that most of us have lost jobs from the tourism industry and are just staying at homerdquo ndash trainee from Yadua village Sigatoka Fiji

NCDs such as heart disease diabetes cancer and chronic lung diseases cause approximately 75 of deaths in PICTs Poor eating habits physical inactivity tobacco use and alcohol consumption which are all NCD risk factors often begin at a young age Globally an estimated two-thirds of premature deaths caused by NCDs are associated with childhood conditions and behaviours

70

Lessons learnedEngaging young people in action to reduce NCDs in PICT communities has largely occurred on an ad hoc basis There is a need to map existing in-country youth groups to expand local networks and to identify young leaders to lead initiatives and mobilise other youth groups

In both Fiji and Vanuatu the projects showed the need to build young peoplersquos skills in project management SPC will continue supporting project participants through

additional webinars and refresher training to strengthen NCD action and will also seek opportunities to raise COVID-19 awareness in the community using existing youth networks

The projects demonstrated the willingness of young people to actively engage in issues that affect their communities and countries and to offer new perspectives and creative approaches that complement the technical expertise of older generations

Performance Story

Enhancing Fijirsquos food and nutrition security through increased crop diversity ContextCePaCT the Pacificrsquos regional genebank has a mandate to support the conservation and use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture It is uniquely placed to respond to PICT food and nutrition security needs through its work to ensure the long-term conservation of important food crops The Centre facilitates access to

these crops including varieties sourced from outside the region and supports their availability

CePaCT has around 2200 accessions of 18 crops (as of December 2020) and has distributed more than 85000 tissue culture plants of 15 crops to over 50 countries in the past 15 years SPC members support CePaCTrsquos impact on the ground mainly through their ministries of agriculture

72

Change processCePaCT has been working closely with the Fiji Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) to identify collect and conserve Fijirsquos important food crops and increase the resilience and sustainability of the countryrsquos agricultural crop base The Centre has been distributing new and improved crops from within and outside the region to MOA which evaluates the crops Adaptable varieties are distributed to Fiji farmers and farming communities

In 2018 MOA launched three crop varieties a sweet potato (Golden Brown) and two varieties of taro (Tarova Loa and Tarova Vula) CePaCT supplied the varieties for evaluation and breeding

Results and impact Following the launch of the three varieties SPC followed up with MOA colleagues on their impact Savenaca Cuquma Senior Research Officer MOA affirmed that farmers liked them Many farmers commended the taste of the sweet potato likening it to sugar while others said lsquoIf you eat it today you will want to eat it every dayrsquo By October 2020 46000 Golden Brown sweet potato vines and 10000 suckers of both taro varieties were distributed to more than 800 farmers on Fijirsquos largest island Viti Levu Planting materials were also prepared for distribution to farmers on Vanua Levu

In addition to these varieties MOA is evaluating new open-pollinated sweet potato lines derived from varieties sourced from CePaCT and is continuing work on taro breeding and evaluation crossing CePaCT-sourced varieties resistant to taro leaf blight with local taro

The aim is to create a wider diversity of nutritious and resilient varieties for local farmers

The collaboration between SPC and Fijirsquos MOA has also resulted in knowledge and capacity development as demonstrated by Savenaca Cuqumarsquos work on steering the ministryrsquos research on root and tuber crops Mr Cuquma said he has built up his knowledge and understanding of breeding taro sweet potato cassava and yam crops with guidance from regional experts and SPC-led regional training and workshops He is keen to continue his work on root and tuber crops and at the same time share his knowledge and experience with his colleagues to promote sustainability

Lessons learnedStrong collaborative efforts with national implementing partners such as ministries of agriculture are critical for impact Building the capacity of these partners is vital for progress in sustainable agriculture

At the same time the crops being researched distributed and grown must be diverse Pacific agriculture needs crop diversity to meet challenges such as climate change lifestyle-related diseases and the need to secure sustainable markets The development of more climate-resilient crops is one of the main strategies for adaptation

Conserving the plant genetic resources from which these crops originate is essential because they provide the basis for resilient and sustainable agriculture for enhanced food and nutrition security

pandemic and other health conditions

bull Border closures affected PICTsrsquo ability to send laboratory specimens to higher-level laboratories abroad for diagnostic testing including for dengue fever leptospirosis and other diseases

bull Laboratory strengthening activities had to be expanded to include procurement of consumables equipment and infrastructure to support fast-tracking of PICTsrsquo capacity to test for COVID-19

bull Training requiring country visits (eg the Data for Decision-making course) was deferred while online delivery methods were explored

bull Regional stakeholder meetings (eg PPHSN and a OneHealth workshop) had to be cancelled or deferred

bull The sudden availability of additional funding to support PICTsrsquo COVID-19 preparations and response required PHD to reassess its implementation capacity

OUTCOMES IN BRIEF

50 alert maps for epidemics were produced and disseminated as of 21 December 2020

All countries (100) with disease alerts or outbreaks shared reports on PacNet which was a significant improvement on 2017 levels (50)

96 health officers from 8 PICTs who enrolled in the Postgraduate Certificate in Field Epidemiology were able to identify areas for system improvement analyse data and write situation reports

Following training for laboratory staff in 2019ndash2020 the laboratories involved all reported improvements in microbiology processes several months later

Looking to 2021bull Continue collaboration between PHD SDD and the Pacific Data Hub on using new technologies to provide real-

time data to inform critical decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic

bull Continue efforts to disseminate as much relevant information as possible ensuring data on the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation in the region is available to all

bull Strengthen capacity for infectious disease surveillance and response which is one of the health priorities for most of our member countries (SPCrsquos work in public health surveillance is likely to expand further in coming years)

Performance Story

Upskilling infection prevention and control competencies in Vanuatu during COVID-19

ContextInfection prevention and control (IPC) measures are crucial in preventing and controlling COVID-19 infections17 Effective programmes rely on competent staff who are responsible for IPC However in many PICTs insufficient staffing shortages of basic equipment inadequate structures and overcrowding mean that IPC measures and programmes are relatively weak18

The Pacific Infection Control Network (PICNet) provides support for IPC and has focal points in all PICTs It was established in 2006 and is one of PPHSNrsquos six support service networks

Change processIn March 2020 SPC began leading the Infection Prevention and Control Cell of the JIMT based on its technical expertise and previous experience in this area and ability to work through PICNet to deliver support and services

An assessment was conducted in May 2020 to identify PICT priority needs during COVID-19 The results indicated that IPC training and capacity building were priorities along with the need to support updating of national IPC strategies develop monitoring tools and empower IPC national focal points

In health-care settings a range of combined IPC measures is essential to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 While the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is the most visible measure it is only one of several IPC measures and should not be relied on as the primary means of preventing COVID-19 infection19

Results and impactSPC in collaboration with the WHO Country Office in Vanuatu conducted an IPC assessment and training workshop at the Vila Central Hospital (VCH) in Vanuatu in March 2020

Performance Story

Division PHDDonor Agence franccedilaise de deacuteveloppement and Government of Australia

Forty-one participants including medical officers midwives and nurses from VCH and neighbouring health centres attended the workshop which focused on the essentials of standard and transmission-based precautions and how to correctly put on and remove PPE

Following the training and assessment the Ministry of Health management team with advice from both SPC and WHO formalised the appointment of a full-time IPC officer to facilitate implementation of the IPC programme including COVID-19 preparedness in VCH and all health-care facilities in Vanuatu

The support provided to Vanuatu highlighted the need for a PPE competency checklist to further strengthen health-care worker safety in the context of COVID-19 Following the development of the checklist the Vanuatu national IPC officer facilitated IPC training for an additional 133 health officers from the national and provincial hospitals

ldquoThe PPE checklist was used to help teach the correct steps in putting on and removing PPE and it also helped me in assessing the competency of health-care workersrdquo ndash Graham Tass National IPC Officer Vanuatu

ldquoThe workshop has given me confidence on how to manage COVID-19 infection and the precautionsprevention required during direct and indirect contactrdquo ndash David T nurse Vanuatu

Lessons learnedThe IPC needs assessments and consultations with countries provided an opportunity to strengthen capacity development and establish long-term outcomes such as the recruitment of human resources to fill gaps

Competency-based learning of IPC measures empowers staff and facilitators and builds assurance of their health and safety as they prepare for and respond to public health emergencies such as COVID-19

The IPC training was participatory and multidisciplinary ensuring transparency and accountability while at the same time allowing health-care workers to share experiences

ContextPPHSN captured reports of clusters of atypical pneumonia in Wuhan China in early January 2020 and monitored the quick spread of disease to other Asian countries With this knowledge and aware of the lack of testing capability globally the PHD laboratory team promptly asked the PPHSN laboratory network (LabNet) if coronavirus testing capabilities existed in the region

The Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory in Melbourne a Level 3 laboratory confirmed it was able to test for coronavirus and was willing to assist PICTs The arrangement was communicated to PICT laboratory managers by mid-January 2020 well before the reported transmission of the virus outside Asia

Testing is one of the key components in the fight against COVID-19 It allows countries to identify people who have the disease and to scale-up their health-care services if needed Testing suspected cases and using procedures such as isolation also prevents their contact with other

people and contributes to slowing transmission of the disease

Change process Understanding the complications for PICTs of sending specimens across borders and delays in the turnaround time of results the PHD laboratory team conducted a quick survey of all national laboratories to assess the availability of GeneXpert equipment that could be used for automated coronavirus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing The survey found that all the laboratories except those in Tokelau and Wallis and Futuna had the equipment

The team then asked Cepheid Australia and the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office (WRPO) if it was possible to produce a GeneXpert coronavirus testing cartridge since GeneXpert is the only PCR testing platform available in almost all PICTs The cartridges were manufactured and were approved for use in April 2020 Testing using the cartridges began in the Pacific in May 2020

78

Results and impact The PHD laboratory team shared information from the survey of PICTs with JIMT Laboratory Cell partners (DFAT MFAT PIHOA Pacific Pathology Training Centre UNICEF UNDP and WHO)

The JIMT Laboratory Cell then spearheaded compilation of the testing algorithm protocols and procedures which were later shared with countries Alongside Cepheid the team continued to provide training and monitor quality assurance quality control and supply status

To respond to the challenge of a global shortage of supplies of testing cartridges the PHD laboratory team initiated discussions with the Pacific Island Society of Pathology on pooled specimen testing using GeneXpert As such testing had not been validated the Doherty Institute University of Melbourne collaborated to validate the process The validation results were highly supportive and the report was published in the Journal of Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease

The collective effort of the PHD laboratory team and the Pacific Island Society of Pathology resulted in the formulation of guidance and a protocol and procedure for pooled specimen testing The procedure is now used by

laboratories in the region to test multiple samples using a single cartridge economising on the use of supplies while maintaining the quality of testing The protocol has also been adopted by other countries beyond the Pacific Island region

Performance Story

Lessons from learning in lockdownContextThe South Pacific Form Seven Certificate (SPFSC) qualification is the Pacificrsquos regional Year 13 qualification It is administered by EQAP on behalf of member countries

By the start of 2020 EQAP had released newly revised and consolidated subject syllabuses and every SPFSC school had been visited by an EQAP officer who advised teachers on the content of each syllabus internal assessment tasks outcomes-based alignment between the curriculum pedagogy and assessment and the process of proposing an internal assessment

programme for each subject At the end of February 2020 new study guides with individualised lesson activities for all strands in each of the 14 SPFSC subjects were being finalised for distribution to schools Then the COVID-19 lockdowns were announced schools were closed and teaching and learning stopped for months In Vanuatu TC Harold caused devastation including destroying buildings in three schools

Change processEQAP sought approval for a number of adaptations to allow the learning programme to proceed and enable SPFSC students to engage in tertiary studies in 2021 Communication with school heads and focal points in ministries of education was critical Regular advisories were sent and responses were followed up

There were already plans in place for a blended offer (face-to-face and virtual) of the SPFSC programme The lockdown restrictions accelerated its implementation A Moodle site was created lesson activities were uploaded and the site went live in early April enabling teachers students and school heads to access lesson activities for all 14 subjects Responses from countries were swift and positive

ldquoIt is Godrsquos answer to prayers especially in this time where schools are closing doors due to COVID-19rdquo ndash School principal Vanuatu

Adjustments to programmes specifically internal assessment tasks included converting group activities to individual ones and in-school tasks to home-based tasks Implementation dates were also rescheduled Students in Vanuatu relocated to nearby schools so they could access learning materials

In response to requests from the three countries external examinations were deferred by two to three weeks to accommodate the disruptions to learning in Term 1 In anticipation of these requests and the different examination dates EQAP contracted examination paper developers to prepare parallel papers based on the same learning outcomes

Examination fee relief was provided for students in Kiribati and Vanuatu whose families were affected by the COVID lockdown or TC Harold through virement of the 2020 innovation fund in collaboration with DFAT After consultation with ministries of education 862 SPFSC students were given fee relief in proportion to the level of financial hardship their families faced

Results and impactStudents achieved a pass rate of 89 which was exceptional considering the challenges they and their families faced in 2020 In some areas (mathematics with calculus mathematics with statistics and physics) there was a significant improvement in student performance

According to responses from school heads ministry of education officials teachers and representatives of development partners and donors EQAPrsquos strategies worked well Countries are adopting the Moodle platform Lesson activities hosted on Moodle were transferred to local school-owned platforms that they set up themselves to provide access during the lockdown Many students who would have dropped out of SPFSC because they could not pay the fees continued with the examinations A number of students returned to classes after they were given fee relief

Lessons learnedThe lockdown required EQAP staff to quickly decide on and implement measures based on a determination to do what was in the best interest of the programmersquos clients especially students Communicating adapting and intervening early were keys to success

Responses to the COVID-19 crisis vary depending on the capacity of each educational system There is a need to understand and address levels of access to technology and connectivity to ensure that responses reduce rather than exacerbate educational inequities

Pacific Community Results Report 2020ORGANISATIONAL OBJECTIVE A

Introduction Strong member engagement is critical to the relevance and effectiveness of SPCrsquos work Engagement and collaboration took a different form in 2020 with most of our work with members and partners being carried out virtually While some work was postponed our ability to continue delivering the majority of our joint scientific and technical work and achieve results was due to collective innovation and the strength of existing relationships

Despite the challenges our members participated in regional heads of sector meetings peer-to-peer exchanges and meetings of CRGA the CRGA Subcommittee on the Implementation of the Strategic Plan and the Pacific Board for Educational Quality (Appendix 4 summarises the outcomes of regional meetings convened by SPC) SPC also worked with members to overcome connectivity challenges where possible and to support engagement and full participation including providing interpretation services for virtual meetings for the first time

In addition to our engagement with members we worked with over 50 strategic partners on specific projects or programmes (Appendix 5 lists current key partnerships and MOUs) Our subregional offices in Melanesia and Micronesia also provided extensive support on the ground to our member countries

Pacific Data HubThe Pacific Data Hub was officially launched in 2020 with funding support from MFAT after almost two years of development in collaboration with members and partners The data hub has been created and developed in the Pacific by the Pacific and is a gateway to the most comprehensive range of data ever made available from the Pacific Importantly members own their data and access it as their own All SPC divisions contribute to the data hub Among our members Palau PNG Solomon Islands and Vanuatu are supporting its development and implementation Partners include the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) PIFS Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC) FFA USP CSIRO DATA61 UNDP Office of the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO) and UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) The Pacific Data Hub now hosts over 12000 data sets which is more than twice the number available at the end of 2019

Performance Story

Passing the baton Evidence of successful transfer of scientific and technological capacity to member countriesContextGlobally COVID-19 has created a blind spot in ocean data that could disrupt weather forecasts and hamper our understanding of climate change In the Pacific this situation presented an opportunity to test the agility of an infrastructure maintenance programme supporting 13 permanent sea-level observation stations across the region The programme also includes building in-country capacity

The Government of Australiarsquos Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) manages the tide gauges in partnership with SPC and Geoscience Australia through the Pacific Sea-Level and Geodetic Monitoring project As one of the regionrsquos oldest continuing aid investments this project has provided continuous high-quality data on climate sea level and land movement since 1991 It currently operates under the Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific (COSPPac)

Change processIn 2020 during border closures the SPC and BoM technical teams worked with their counterparts in national meteorological services to complete the scheduled six-monthly infrastructure maintenance programme for ten countries conducted return-to-service work in Tonga and Solomon Islands and upgraded the tide gauge stations in Vanuatu Fiji and Cook Islands with support from local contractors

Transferring knowledge and competence to technical counterparts in PICT meteorological services is an integral part of the current COSPPac Phase 2 project This approach which was already in place before the COVID-19 pandemic began assisted the essential move to virtual delivery of training and other services after travel restrictions were imposed

Results and impactFrom March to December 2020 following the successful transfer of technical expertise local meteorological technicians were able to complete 16 site infrastructure maintenance visits This work ensured the stations remained fully operational and continued recording crucial datasets despite SPC and BoM technical staff being unable to travel

ldquoThe tide gauge station provides valuable data for the work we do at Fiji Meteorological Service and it was a great opportunity to work with the SPC team to better understand the maintenance of the equipment and the processes involvedrdquo ndash Amori Nabanivalu Technician Fiji Meteorological Service

ldquoPost-disaster assessment of the tide gauges is critical It documents damage if any to the infrastructure and ensures the quick return to service of this important source of real-time data collectionrdquo ndash Viliami Folau Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources Tonga (following return-to-service work after TC Harold in April)

The infrastructure maintenance work is building a stronger relationship between SPC staff and PICT technical staff and advancing equipment knowledge technical capacity and ownership of the tide gauge stations in each country

ldquoLocal meteorological technicians now more than ever are our eyes and hands in the field enabling us to maintain the Pacific tide station regional network up and operationalrdquo ndash Adrien Lauranceau-Moineau Technical Team Leader SPC

ldquoThis really drives home the importance of investing in local capacity building The fact that national staff are committed to the upkeep of these stations is a reflection of just how valuable this data is to the Pacificrdquo ndash Molly Powers-Tora COSPPac Coordinator and Team Leader for Ocean Intelligence SPC

Lessons learnedThe SPC technical team and project partners learned valuable lessons including the importance of

bull formalising capacity development A maintenance guide booklet which was developed in 2020 by the SPC and BoM technical teams and distributed to PICTs is now used as a teaching tool during online sessions with technicians

bull connecting remotely which enables new ways of communicating and training with local technical staff

bull continued investment in training during in-country visits and mentoring The years spent on these activities have enabled a smooth transition to working with and further building the capacity of teams from national meteorological servicesDivision GEM

Performance Story

Innovations in collating population data during the pandemic Considering the use of population registers in census programmes ContextThe COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way SDD and NSOs organise and deliver their work programmes The travel restrictions imposed during the pandemic meant SDD was unable to conduct training workshops seminars and other capacity building initiatives in their usual format At the same time the challenges of collecting population data through censuses have focused attention on the future of statistical collections in PICTs

The question of whether Pacific countries have the capacity to continue to generate accurate and timely population data prompted SDD to explore the knowledge and experience of countries that have adopted the use of administrative data and registers to replace traditional census methods21 The shift from traditional to more innovative methods of conducting a census including the use of population registers has been identified as international best practice and is also timely and relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

Change process SDD in collaboration with the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (PARIS21) and NSOs from countries using register-based or combined censuses (Indonesia New Zealand Norway Sweden and the United Kingdom) organised a series of webinars aimed at building the capacity of PICTs to use administrative registers in census programmes Twelve PICTs participated in the webinars ndash CNMI Cook Islands Fiji Marshall Islands Nauru Niue Palau Samoa Tokelau Tonga Tuvalu and Vanuatu ndash together with partners of the Global Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Group speakers and presenters from international NSOs and organisations and SDD staff

SDD developed technical papers on the key theme of the webinars to provide detailed guidelines for PICTs and a permanent reference

Results and impactThe capacity building programmes provided PICTs with a range of knowledge products and best practices for improving their population data collection methods in the long term The webinars were also a unique opportunity for PICTs to engage with international NSOs that are well advanced in using the new methods Following the webinar series several countries contacted SDD to request assistance on implementing population registers

ldquoDuring the virtual seminar on CRVS it was interesting to hear from Helge Brunborg on how they established Norways central population register On behalf of the Tuvalu Central Statistics Division I would like to express our interest and commitment to establishing such a system in Tuvalu As explained by Brunborg a number of departmentsministriesorganisations will be involved in this project Moreover data is usually stored in Excel files or txtrdquo ndash webinar participant from Tuvalu

Lessons learnedThe webinar series provided a wealth of knowledge that SDD will use to provide guidance to PICTs on the potential to shift from traditional census methods to increased use of innovative register-based approaches

At a time when travel is restricted it is important to promote the use of electronic platforms (eg Zoom and Microsoft Teams) to disseminate knowledge and engage with PICTs It is also essential to be mindful that participation in events such as webinars may be limited due to slow internet connectivity Therefore the knowledge shared at such sessions must be packaged and disseminated in a format that all PICTs can access

SDD found the engagement and collaboration of international partners highly valuable in promoting capacity building in the region Given the time differences between countries many of the webinar presenters joined the sessions from Europe outside their normal working hours and sometimes stayed past midnight to engage with PICTs This demonstration of interest and commitment to collaboration was much appreciated

Pacific Community Results Report 2020ORGANISATIONAL OBJECTIVE B

Performance Story

Tuna tagging research voyage in a COVID-19 environment ContextThe western side of the Pacific Ocean is the home of over half of the global stocks of tropical tuna The associated tuna fisheries are of crucial importance for many PICTs For six of these countries tuna fishing licence fees represent between 30 and 100 of all government revenue

FAMErsquos Oceanic Fisheries Programme (OFP) is in charge of providing scientific advice to support the management of this resource with tuna tagging a key component of the programmersquos approach to monitoring the stocks OFP has been collecting tagging data for over 40 years to improve the catch and effort information coming from the fishery Maintaining the continuity of this long-recorded series of tuna monitoring is critical to providing scientists with up-to-date information on tuna fishing and mortality and the growth and movement of tuna The data is analysed and integrated into fish-stock assessment statistical models to give regional fisheries managers an indication

of the impact of the fisheries on tuna and to inform the nature of conservation measures

Change processThe tagging programme was even more important in 2020 because COVID-19-related international travel restrictions meant the placement of Pacific fisheries observers on industrial fishing vessels decreased by more than 50

OFP had originally planned a tagging cruise (CP14) in 2020 in the central Pacific area These cruises which have been carried out since 2008 involve targeting tuna schools associated with both oceanographic data collector moorings (TAO buoys) and the drifting fish aggregation devices (d-FADs) used by the tuna purse-

seine industry

When it became clear that travelling to other PICTs would not be possible OFP modified its original plan which included researchers boarding the vessel in Funafuti to restrict stops to the research vesselrsquos home port of Honolulu

Introduction SPC provides a regional resource of specialist technical and scientific expertise to strengthen or supplement regional and national capacity Our approach to developing and sharing expertise has advantages of economies of scale in a region with small populations and limited human resources

In 2020 SPC staff authored or co-authored 42 peer-reviewed scientific or technical publications (Appendix 2) We continued to present technical and scientific expertise at conferences and webinars and also chaired and provided secretariat services for expert working groups and committees at regional and international level

As we adapted to the measures necessitated by COVID-19 we strengthened our capacity to deliver services through virtual platforms and increased our reliance on locally based partners opening up new ways of working for our staff and stakeholders

Division FAMEDonor Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission

Given the significant reduction in independent data available for tuna stock management in 2020 this research cruise became a critical source of information for understanding the most recent impacts of fishing in the region

Results and impactTo comply with travel restrictions the vessel chartered by OFP to implement the research agreed to cover the large distances involved in the voyage with no extra port calls In addition several commercial purse-seine companies agreed to share their d-FAD access to improve the chances of the success of the research in the targeted area

For two weeks before the departure from Hawairsquoi two of the hired consultants stayed in mandatory quarantine while the rest of the crew remained isolated as a precautionary measure

The team completed a 49-day trip at sea and achieved one of the best results in the history of similar tagging cruises with 6387 tuna tagged in 2020 compared to an average of 3400 over the past 10 years

The CP14 research voyage was also able to test innovative sampling methods for collecting genetic material used to quantify the structure and behaviour of tuna populations

Significant media coverage boosted attention to the research and its implications for the region both during and after the voyage with fisheries managers from Cook Islands and schoolchildren from Kiribati participating in SPCrsquos communication efforts

Lessons learnedRecognising the difficult context Kiribati supported SPC by facilitating research authorisation in its waters including in the Phoenix Islands Protected Area which has been closed to fishing since 2016

The main reasons for the success of the CP14 research voyage were the motivation and skills of the people involved and enhanced cooperation with the tuna fishing industry Other factors included

bull collaboration with contracted fishers and fisheries technicians two fishing industry partners and a fishing technology company

bull the support of WCPFC member states including funding from these states via the Commission

bull the contribution of numerous fisheries scientists around the region

Change processTo overcome the disruption in June 2020 SPC implemented the Distance Training and Evaluation project also known as the Learning Management System to enable participants to undertake online self-paced learning Decades of experience along with recent competency-based reviews of membersrsquo training and capacity needs were used to develop the online package for the Pacific Incident Management System (PacIMS) The training package uses real-life scenarios from the region including floods cyclones and boat disasters It is Pacific owned and led and is underpinned by experience consultation and training

The PacIMS Awareness Course has been available on the SPC Moodle platform (Learnbook) since November 2020 Participants from across the Pacific region are able to access the course to study disaster management at their own convenience and pace It is the first of many online courses currently under development by PIEMA and SPC to upskill practitioners in disaster management

The courses and awareness products focus on emergency operations centre (EOC) tasks products and activities They also look at challenges in an EOC environment such as gender equity and social inclusion and leadership

In addition to introducing an EOC teamrsquos functions and key responsibilities the course highlights the benefits of using an IMS and the principles that guide its operation The PacIMS course also increases interoperability between responding and supporting agencies by providing a common language and understanding standardising management frameworks and clearly defining roles and responsibilities

Performance Story

Roll-out of the Pacific Incident Management System Awareness Course ContextClimate change and disaster risk are two of the most severe threats facing the Pacific region As part of its commitment to supporting membersrsquo efforts to address these threats SPC contributes

its experience in emergency and disaster preparedness to PIEMA which is supported by Australia and New Zealand

Before the onset of COVID-19 SPC delivered capacity building and workshops to thousands of

participants ndash 4500 people took part in 478 events between July 2018 and June 2019 However pandemic-related restrictions drastically disrupted SPCrsquos ability to run these mostly face-to-face training sessions with members

Results and impactIn 2020 225 people were trained in PacIMS and the online Moodle platform was developed and launched in November The registered participants came from 17 PICTs and 32 different organisations Not all participants came from the disaster management sector ndash some belonged to the civil service or to civil society organisations because personnel from these bodies are frequently required to provide support after a disaster

PacIMS provides a valuable and easily accessible learning resource for professional responders in the disaster management sector and also for those who support this critical function during a full-scale disaster that requires additional national resources

Lessons learnedThe benefits of implementing and understanding IMS are not limited to organisations and

Division GEMDonor Governments of Australia and New Zealand

The PacIMS Awareness Course introduces the basic concepts and principles of an incident management system It is based on international best practice using Pacific terminology nomenclature examples and scenarios and focuses on recent Pacific case studies such as TC Winston in Fiji and the Ambae Volcano eruption in Vanuatu

The UN General Assembly declared 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health The establishment of the Plant Health Laboratory is part of SPCrsquos commitment to the goals of ensuring sustainable livelihoods and food security for all

individuals operating at the national level As the use of IMS increases and becomes commonplace those familiar with them can easily integrate their principles into regional and international frameworks where such systems have been implemented for decades

The PacIMS Awareness Course supports the professionalisation of the disaster management sector in the Pacific region increases the employability of trained personnel and opens the gateway for greater resource sharing nationally regionally and internationally

Performance Story

ContextThe new Plant Health Laboratory at SPCrsquos Narere Campus in Suva Fiji now has the capacity to use advances in technology and research to support Pacific agriculture It is a Level 3 accredited regional laboratory that brings together the expertise of entomologists integrated pest management specialists plant pathologists weed scientists and nematologists who will provide technical support and capacity building for pest and disease surveillance and biosecurity issues in member countries

Invasive species are a major threat to the global economy and the environment costing billions of dollars to control each year With the agriculture sector in PICTs also facing increasing threats of exotic pest and disease incursions the Plant Health Laboratory will work to provide technical support and biological solutions to counter outbreaks that do occur

Change processSPCrsquos team of plant health scientists works in partnership with the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) University of Queensland and ministries of agriculture in Fiji Samoa Solomon Islands and Tonga At plant health clinics held in these member countries SPC experts have been able to use laboratory diagnosis of collected samples to provide farmers with information on proper pesticide use and integrated crop management practices

The Plant Health team has also provided online training on a range of integrated pest management practices eg to train PNG plant health doctors to conduct insecticide resistance trials Further trials will be carried out in Fiji Samoa and Tonga

In 2020 the work of the Plant Health team also led to trials and successful mass production protocols for the Metarhizium fungus which is a pathogen of the coconut rhinoceros beetle This initiative will boost efforts to control beetle populations

Lessons learned Pests and diseases are a major concern for agriculture production in most PICTs The Plant Health Laboratory is proving to be a valuable asset for addressing these concerns through research capacity building and dissemination of new pest and disease management practices

By linking information communication and technology the Plant Health team is able to disseminate research methodologies and results to countries that currently do not have active plant health projects or capabilities

Performance Story

Pacific Regional Education Framework ndash YavirauContextThe Pacific Regional Education Framework (PacREF) is a regional policy designed to equitably raise the quality of schooling and student outcomes across the Pacific A 12-year programme will expand and improve the support provided to member countriesrsquo school systems by the Pacificrsquos regionally based education agencies

The PacREF programme will operationalise the policy through a series of activities that design test contextualise and embed regional goods services and standards that respond to demand and that will assist national education systems to sustainably raise the quality of their services and improve learning outcomes across the region

Change processDrawing on the traditional Fijian community fishing method yavirau PacREF recently made a submission to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) for funding support The submission was unique in terms of its cohesive regional voice Only six of the fifteen countries involved in PacREF are eligible under the GPE criteria Demonstrating a commitment to regionalism the six countries collectively agreed to commit their GPE maximum country allocation to finance the first phase of the PacREF programme benefiting the other nine countries As a result additional resources are being leveraged for region-wide benefits in terms of higher quality schooling and student outcomes

Introduction SPC is making progress in implementing a people-centred approach across the organisation and mainstreaming social (gender youth culture and human rights) and environmental issues in our programming cycle

Our Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER) Policy is part of our commitment to social safeguarding and putting people and the environment at the centre of our work To strengthen the implementation of the policy divisions can call on the SER helpdesk which provides services such as reviewing business plans concept notes project designs policies and capacity-building initiatives In 2020 the helpdesk which is run by HRSD and CCES provided support for projects being implemented by LRD FAME GEM and PHD

Yavirau at Vadravadra village Gau Fiji Photo Serupepeli Lesikinayau

Development of the submission required a great deal of consultation and included similar elements to yavirau such as committed partners collaboration openness and recognition of everyonersquos strengths Under COVID-19 restrictions SPC collaborated with the PacREF Facilitation Unit at USP to coordinate and lead 16 virtual consultation workshops before the preparation of the final submission to send to GPE

In an ongoing effort to support regionalism the implementing agencies22 also agreed to strengthen PacREFrsquos regional governance structure This structure includes the agenciesrsquo fono based on the Wansolwara Framework which is linked at regional and national level to ministries of education and national education stakeholders

Results and impactPacREF demonstrates commitment by Pacific Island countries to strengthening regionalism and working collaboratively to address common challenges as a way of overcoming the constraints they face individually With the endorsement of the six GPE-eligible countries and the approval of the PacREF Steering Committee a theory of change was developed It includes detailed work plans budgets a clear set of indicators a risk register and a stakeholder management plan and was

part of the application documents submitted to GPE in October 2020 The application which is for USD 15 million has been formally endorsed for implementation effective from May 2021 This will set in motion agreed activities under the framework to raise the quality of education across the Pacific enhance learnersrsquo education outcomes and produce high-quality graduates who are able to contribute economically and socially to their communities

Lessons learnedA key reflection was the need for SPC to explore ways of leveraging existing opportunities to amplify the efforts being made in Pacific countries In this example six countries made a case for other countries outside GPErsquos standard criteria to be afforded an opportunity to benefit as part of a more regional approach

The use of the yavirau approach along with the rebbilib that was used for Pacific MEL which was launched earlier this year highlights opportunities to explore traditional methods and to consider how to incorporate the lessons and principles in a toolkit of Pacific approaches that could be documented and shared for use in regional development Pacific people may find such approaches to implementation easier to relate to

Cultural resilience critical in responding to COVID-19 ContextThe relevance of cultural resilience is evident in the Pacific response to COVID-19 As discussions across the Pacific consider the best ways of responding to the pandemic SPC and the Pacific Regional Culture Strategy (PRCS) Working Group (a subcommittee of the Council of Pacific Arts and Culture) are ensuring that issues emerging from COVID-19 recovery measures at the national level inform the development of this important strategy

Change processAdaptations to the process for developing the new strategy included extending timelines and creating space for national-level discussions and surveys integrating emerging findings and aligning it with other national and regional plans and policies

The Council of Pacific Arts and Culture is actively supporting the development of the strategy which has a strong focus on Pacific ways of knowing and being and Pacific cultural values The development process has helped initiate closer links between the PRCS and the Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture which has led to a decision to review the festival in 2021 The review will allow ministers of culture to revisit the aims and intended outcomes of the festival and also to look at strengthening its delivery by the Council and SPC

Results and impactThrough member and partner engagement and dialogue the Working Group identified ways in which cultural practices mitigated the effects of the pandemic These practices include backyard farming for food production subsistence fisheries traditional medicines and use of the arts as a mechanism to cope with stress or to provide items in exchange for goods and services A return to lsquoslowrsquo food has helped families and communities to preserve protect and promote local food cultures and traditions There has also been a revival of traditional barter systems with this age-old Pacific Island practice being brought to life through digital platforms such as social media which facilitate access contacts connection and exchange

While acknowledging that cultural resilience has been critical in responding to the pandemic the Working Group also noted the serious and potentially lasting impacts of COVID-19 on the cultural and creative sectors as sources of livelihood These impacts include income loss few or no opportunities for new entrants limited budget allocations from governments and donors and inequalities in access to digital technology The evidence gathering dialogue and co-design processes continue to inform the drafting of the PRCS policy framework

Lessons learnedThe PRCS development process is capturing and elevating our understanding of the role of culture in resilience These findings are also informing the development of the Pacific Community Strategic Plan 21+ and the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent

As SPC and our partners adapted our ways of working in response to COVID-19 other challenges became obvious for example moving to online platforms presents opportunities for potential exploitation of indigenous and traditional knowledge

The guidance provided by Cultural etiquette in the Pacific is critical to strengthening SPCrsquos engagement with members both in-country and virtually and to improving the relevance of our work Considerable work is required to further embed our understanding of our membersrsquo cultural contexts in our approaches and to consider what indicators are needed to guide our monitoring and reporting of the cultural responsiveness of our work

Division SDP Donor core funding

The Working Group played a key role in providing peer review of the second edition of Cultural etiquette in the Pacific published by SPC in 2020 The booklet is an introductory guide to the diversity of cultural knowledge and practices in SPCrsquos 26 member countries and territories It also demonstrates SPCrsquos commitment to sharing ideas and experience and serves as an educational tool to increase the effectiveness of our services for all Pacific communities

Performance Story

lsquo300 coconut bagsrsquo ContextThe 300 Coconut Bag Project is an initiative to address livelihood recovery after loss of income related to COVID-19 The project which produces and sells strong market bags made from plastic waste works with vulnerable people including those with a disability and young people as well as with experienced handicraft producers

COVID-19 has had a substantial economic impact in Vanuatu A joint survey by the Vanuatu Department of Tourism and Vanuatu Tourism Office on the impacts of TC Harold and the pandemic found a 70 reduction in full-time employment among tourism businesses in the first six weeks after borders closed23 Income loss and the broader impacts of the pandemic have disproportionately affected people who were already marginalised and vulnerable

Although Vanuatu banned single-use plastics in 2018 a huge amount of plastic packaging such as rice bags and biscuit wrappers is still used every day and these plastics pollute the natural environment including the ocean The 300 Coconut Bag Project provides a way of reducing plastic waste in Port Vila rubbish tips by sanitising and reusing these materials to create durable products The projectrsquos intention is to work with the most vulnerable populations in Port Vila in accordance with the lsquoSocietyrsquo pillar of the Vanuatu National Sustainable Development Plan (lsquohellipmaintaining an inclusive society that upholds human dignity and the rights of all Ni-Vanuatu including women youth the elderly and vulnerable groupsrsquo)

SPC is working in partnership with the Vanuatu Ocean Office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the Vanuatu Society for People with Disability (VSPD) and the Ministry of Justicersquos Disability Team to implement the initiative with funding from the Government of Canada

Change processBag sewers and weavers were recruited from VSPD and handicraft associations at Centre Point and Seafront Young people were engaged through youth groups in Port Vila The lsquo300 coconut bagrsquo was co-designed with participants and has a stylish outer layer of pandanus woven by Vanuatu handicraft mamas as they are colloquially known The bag is lined with a layer of recycled waste plastic collected by unemployed youth around Port Vila and stitched together

using waste calico collected from the handicraft mamas and the Mammarsquos Laef project The market bags are strong enough to carry home six heavy coconuts a week all year long which is why they are called lsquo300 coconut bagsrsquo

Results and impactThe project has registered over 100 sewers and weavers from VSPD and handicraft associations whose sales declined drastically due to the pandemic Bag sewers are paid 500 vatu for each assembled bag and weavers are paid 2000 vatu for each pandanus mat Thirty young people are engaged in collecting cleaning and packing the waste plastic for sale to the project team They are paid 1000 vatu for each copra sack of the material

The project aims to supply 10000 recycled bags per month to the major supermarket chain and municipal markets in Port Vila As a result 130 formerly unemployed people taking part in the project are earning an income of up to 10000 vatu per week

Vanuatu has no system for recycling household waste so the bags also demonstrate to the broader community how to save and reuse materials to preserve the environment and protect the ocean

Lessons learnedThe biggest setback was a six-month delay in receiving funding from the donor This experience showed the need to be proactive in organising pre-funding once the project grant agreement was signed with SPC funds to be reimbursed when donor funds became available

Finding unemployed people with disability who had skills in sewing and weaving was challenging Many of these people do not frequent VSPD and there is no national database of people with disability

Using the established handicraft groups was also challenging as many of the group members were busy despite border closures and no tourists and were unable to come up with prototype bags or provide steady production The project team solved this by using a community trainer to train people with a disability and out-of-work mammas not in associations who were in urgent need of income

Sometimes working at the community level means going beyond established groups and finding the truly vulnerable through local networks one by one

There were also lessons learned in relation to establishing a market for the bags and balancing supply and demand

Performance Story

Pacific food systems 2020 ContextThe Pacific Islands region makes a unique contribution to the global food system over half of the worldrsquos tuna catch comes from the western and central Pacific Ocean and the area is home to a diversity of root and tree crops Reciprocity in food production and consumption is deeply connected with Pacific cultural values

However the changing Pacific food system is not delivering the best outcomes for peoplersquos health and livelihoods High dependence on imports of low-nutrient energy-dense foods (eg rice flour canned meats sugar) contributes to a heavy burden of NCDs The impacts of disasters and climate change are creating shifts in how people source produce and consume food In addition the effects of COVID-19 have significantly disrupted the supply and affordability of food

SPC is a key partner in supporting its membersrsquo efforts to meet these challenges with all nine divisions contributing to improving food system outcomes For example

bull CePaCT conserves the global taro collection and Pacific yam collection in tissue culture as well as many other important crops and trees

bull SPC is responsible for cutting-edge research on coastal and oceanic fisheries including the science that informs decisions about tuna stock management in the western and central Pacific

bull a dedicated team is working on reducing the NCD burden in the Pacific region

bull SPC provides scientific and statistical capabilities that assist in understanding food system dynamics and outcomes including critical work to measure and monitor household income and expenditure trade and progress toward the SDGs

Change processIn 2020 SPC brought these capabilities together in an integrated programme called Food Systems for Health Nutrition and Resilient Development The programme is designed to better serve membersrsquo needs by facilitating a multidisciplinary approach to food system challenges and opportunities

COVID-19 travel restrictions meant the team had to adapt to using web-based workshops to achieve wide

engagement across different PICTs and disciplinary experts and to ensure they could contribute to the programmersquos design The design team brought together experts from across the organisation to create a theory of change for the programme Close to 100 SPC staff were engaged in the programme design process which was informed by visioning and systems thinking

Results and impactThe workshops resulted in the design for the new programme including a shared vision for lsquofood systems that nourish healthy people are resilient and adaptive and grounded in evidence and cultural diversityrsquo They also

bull identified five outcomes that SPCrsquos work could contribute to and five ways of working that SPC uses to support its member countries

bull built shared understanding of food system issues across SPC and relationships that provide a foundation for more integrated ways of working For instance new collaborations around food and water security link teams in GEM and LRD

These collaborations mean SPC is better positioned to support members in adapting to current and future shocks and building resilient food systems Ultimately this work will support interventions adapted to local contexts to improve sustainability and health outcomes

Lessons learned Members endorsed food systems as a key focus area for the Pacific Community Transition Plan 2021

The online facilitation process early in the COVID-19 lockdown informed the design of other events

The process demonstrated SPCrsquos unique position as an organisation with work covering many of the dimensions of food systems ndash from water agriculture and fisheries to public health trade and statistics ndash and its ability to support members and partners in navigating food systems at national regional and global levels

In 2021 SPC will continue to develop the programme and relevant work with members including demonstrating the contributions of the Pacific region to the global food system and the challenges of this engagement

Pacific Community Results Report 2020ORGANISATIONAL OBJECTIVE D

Efforts made in recent years to manage SPCrsquos finances sustainably and increase the level of reserves have never been more significant than in 2020 SPCrsquos strong financial position ensured we were able to continue operations with confidence despite the COVID-19 crisis albeit with appropriate adjustments The mid-year budget review and close tracking of expenditure and project execution rates led to a balanced budget forecast for 2020 despite the crisis SPC achieved its target for liquid reserves on hand

SPCrsquos 2020 revised budget was EUR 77 million while actual expenditure was EUR 628 million Programme and project execution totalling EUR 494 million against

the budget of EUR 61 million stood at 81 due to the impacts of COVID-19 Net core expenditure reduced by EUR 26 million from EUR 16 million per the 2020 revised budget to EUR 134 million due to lower expenditure (mainly on salaries and travel) This resulted in higher operating reserves and contributed to SPCrsquos financial viability during the pandemic

The external audit for the 2020 financial year is currently near completion An unqualified audit opinion is expected underscoring the strength of the policies and procedures implemented to ensure SPCrsquos financial viability

Introduction The effectiveness of our work with members depends on having appropriate planning prioritisation evaluation and learning processes in place This was especially true in 2020 when our capacity to meet the challenges of COVID-19 relied on these processes

SPC reviewed evidence reprioritised activities programmes and budgets and demonstrated rapid development uptake and use of online platforms for capacity building and convening These adjustments along with innovations in developing and using new tools for active collaborative online meetings were fundamental to continuing our delivery of services in the region SPC was also able to respond to urgent requests while maintaining existing services and support

Our divisions continue to invest in planning and MEL We published nine evaluation activities in 2020 (these are listed in Appendix 3)

SPC COVID-19 Response FrameworkThe internal SPC COVID-19 Response Framework is a decision support tool that articulates different readiness levels and actions depending on the impact of the pandemic in our host countries ranging from preparedness through to targeted action including

lockdown and use of PPE It nominates key roles and planned actions across incident management hygiene communications containment strategies finance human resources travel and psycho-social and other impacts The framework enabled SPC to respond to the escalation of the COVID-19 crisis in a planned and measured way and was instrumental in providing confidence to staff and stakeholders SPC shared the framework with other CROP agencies to assist with their planning

All SPC sites were affected by lockdown measures in the MarchndashApril period as host governments implemented action to halt the spread of COVID-19 in the region SPC was able to rapidly prepare staff for working from home and facilitated provision of ICT and networking equipment to assist those working remotely

Performance Story

PDHstat indicator database and interactive visualisation

ContextOfficial statistics help decision-makers develop informed policies that potentially affect many people At a regional level organisations such as SPC help to disseminate these statistics through online databases interactive dashboards and regional reports

SDD recently set up a state-of-the art interactive indicator database called PDHstat The database which is housed in the Pacific Data Hub builds on the success of the now outdated National Minimum Development Indicator (NMDI) database and provides a wide range of Pacific development indicators including the SDGs In 2017 a lsquouser focusrsquo project helped identify that it was time to refresh and improve the NMDI database At the same time a desire to modernise the production of official statistics in SDD and across the region meant it was necessary to look for something new

Change processSDD spent two years testing a range of platforms and technologies before finding a suitable product PDHstat is built over a technology called Stat Suite initially developed for the OECD indicator database It is now maintained by the Statistical Information System Collaboration Community (SIS-CC) SIS-CC which is led by OECD is made up of 15 members including international NSOs and organisations and has the common goal of improving access to official statistics Several of SDDrsquos key partners eg ABS Stats NZ ILO and UNICEF are part of the community It therefore made sense to go down the same path

A lsquolightrsquo version of PDHstat was set up in 2019 and in early 2020 SPC recruited a dedicated Statistics Advisor (Data Systems) to manage PDHstat The database has grown significantly and there are now 868 indicators and almost 470000 observations spread across 48 datasets

Results and impactPDHstat has enabled SDD to modernise and improve data handling and dissemination SDD now manages a fully data-driven SDD website as well as the SDG dashboard housed in the Pacific Data Hub Both of these sites pull their data from PDHstat and display it through interactive visualisation eg population pyramids

Currently a plugin is being developed for WordPress the main content management system used by NSOs which will enable country-specific data in PDHstat to be embedded in NSO websites This will give NSO staff another tool for improving data dissemination through their national websites and should also facilitate access to the official statistics required for decision-making

ContextWith SPCrsquos Strategic Plan 2016ndash2020 ending the organisation embarked on developing a new and aspirational strategy Work to build a strong evidence base to inform the new strategy started in 2019 and consultations with members development partners and other key stakeholders were due to begin in earnest in 2020 Early in the year however the impact of COVID-19 including health economic and social challenges shifted the attention and priorities of SPCrsquos members and disrupted plans to engage with them to deliver an inclusive long-term strategic plan in 2020

Change processUnder the guidance of members provided during a virtual meeting of the CRGA Subcommittee for the Strategic Plan in May 2020 SPC quickly adapted the development of its 10-year strategy to include a 12-month transition plan focused on responses to recovery and building resilience by design not disaster The plan supports a gradual emergence from pandemic conditions and allows for managing uncertainty and allocating support and resources appropriately for recovery efforts

Membersrsquo priorities are at the heart of the transition plan SPC gathered evidence of the impact of COVID-19 and related needs through country programming discussions and commissioning of a meta-synthesis of over 300 COVID-19 assessments and reports The regular mid-year reflection and reporting process enabled more gathering of evidence and synthesis of the results of SPCrsquos pivot towards adaptations necessitated by COVID-19 This was followed by the triangulation and sensemaking of these processes to inform the transition plan

through futures thinking needs assessment reflection and consideration of further pivots A Pacific Pathfinder toolkit is being co-developed to share this foresight work in easy-to apply accessible formats

Results and impactWork on regional strategy coherence in collaboration with PIFS the Pacific Islands Association of Non-Governmental Organisations the Pacific Islands Private Sector Organisation and the University of Queensland Centre for Futures Policy highlighted the value of integrated and coordinated work across the regional architecture to identify strengths align policy action and develop a shared vision for implementing important strategies The engagement of Pacific youth in the development of

the strategic plan signalled shifts in communication participation and social mobilisation

Guided by the Blue Pacific vision the transition plan identifies four goals and six focus areas interconnected by sustainable systems and climate action It recognises Pacific cultures and human rights as the foundations of SPCrsquos sustainable development efforts

A systems-level approach to optimising the interlinking of priority areas was the most significant change The result is a renewed focus on transforming institutional effectiveness to build the necessary enabling environments and capacities for SPC to work in efficient and integrated ways across systems towards achieving development outcomes with its members

Young people included in decision-making

In the Pacific Youth Development Framework (2014ndash2023) young people identified active participation in decision-making processes at all levels as a priority From March to May 2020 SPC issued a call to national youth focal points seeking to learn the next generationrsquos vision for 2030 Youth representatives including disability and LGBTQI advocates from nine countries (Cook Islands FSM Fiji Marshall Islands Palau PNG Samoa Tonga and Tuvalu) shared nearly 100 insights and hopes for a safe secure and equitable 2030 through an online questionnaire

Their responses provided insight through a COVID-19 lens into priority areas that are defining issues for young people in the Pacific including positive action

on climate change mental health considerations cultural resilience and economic and social security factors that are affecting and shaping the next generation

ldquoI live in an outer island of Papua New Guinea and I have no idea about SPC but to allow us to participate in such an important process shows that we as young people are important So I thank the organisers for this opportunityrdquo ndash Youth participant PNG

Lessons learned bull The combined foresight and systems approach supports managing uncertainty and allocating resources appropriately for recovery efforts as part of the longer-term development of the Blue Pacific Continent

bull Thought leadership has communicated evidence well and supported the embedding of Pacific ways of knowing and being across development policy and practice

bull Mainstreaming youth priorities in high-level planning requires

ContextHundreds of different species of fish and invertebrates are found in Pacific coastal fisheries They are fished for subsistence and local domestic and international markets and are essential to food security in the region These resources need to be monitored understood and carefully managed to ensure their sustainability in the face of increasing populations and a marine environment that is deteriorating due to human impacts and climate change Yet coastal fisheries data for invertebrate species in particular is scarce and limited to specific locations and periods of time

SPC has developed several desktop and in-country databases to support various market creel24 and socio-economic surveys The resulting data is used by SPC scientists to provide advice for managing the fisheries However installing and maintaining these systems and synchronising data between PICTs and SPC have not been easy due to limited bandwidth especially in remote locations In addition there was a need to simplify some survey forms to focus on the minimum dataset required for management and to enhance the quality of the data collected

Change processIn 2019 the coastal fisheries team revisited the market and creel survey data collected to date specifically the collection of fish sizes from catches at landing sites and markets to assess data quality and identify gaps and opportunities for improvement SPC and fisheries staff

tested new survey methods in Fiji Kiribati and New Caledonia and also trialled the use of photographs to reduce the time needed in the field to record a fisherrsquos catch and allow for quality control of species identification length and weight data

SPC developed a web interface and android mobile application (Ikasavea) in tandem for data entry and analysis trained 25 staff on data entry and provided tablets for use in the field

Results and impactThe first version of the Ikasavea app was released in 2020 replacing traditional paper forms and improving data quality and availability by providing hints on species identification and alerts for typos and outliers The app also enabled improved data collection for invertebrate species

Performance Story

With over 16600 pictures of 225 species collected SPC was able to create an artificial intelligence system that simplifies identification by providing species prediction to users and makes data entry easier for non-specialists There are also quality control checks to avoid data entry errors

Feedback from users has been positive and the team continues to receive requests for reports and tools for data analysis as well as for importing legacy data

ldquoThe web application works very well and field testing in Labasa Fiji has produced excellent resultsrdquo ndash Shivam Jalam (left) Fisheries Officer Data Analysis and Management Inshore Fisheries Management Division Fiji Ministry of Fisheries

Lessons learnedThe following lessons emerged and were acted on during the development of the new tools

bull Based on feedback from users after the initial trials the team made changes to the user interface of the tablet app to speed-up data entry and expanded the web outputs to satisfy user needs

bull Keeping in contact with surveyors and data users ensured technical issues were resolved quickly and the system evolved to meet PICTsrsquo new needs

bull Regular data synchronisation and accessibility for authorised surveyors fisheries officers and scientists allowed for verification and continuous improvement of data quality

Three PICTs (Fiji Kiribati and New Caledonia) have already adopted the system for data entry Twenty-five staff (11 women 14 men) were trained in data entry and five tablets were distributed

More than 400000 fish measurements for around 400 species are now in the system which is 10 times more than the data available previously through the legacy SPC creel surveys This data will be used by SPC scientists to provide management advice for the main target species

Pacific Community Results Report 2020ORGANISATIONAL OBJECTIVE E

The second SPC staff engagement survey was conducted in September 2020 following the first survey in 2018 The results show positive increases across most metrics including an increase of 5 in staff engagement across SPC bringing overall engagement to 80 This is a particularly promising result given that 2020 was a challenging year The largest positive movements compared with 2018 were in the areas of leadership organisational confidence health and safety enablement and innovation There is still work to do on collaboration and communication and feedback and recognition Even so there were positive trends in both these areas compared with 2018

SPC Communications began the year at a time of rapid expansion of our audience with expectations that we would be able to continue to increase our visibility and reach across the Pacific and globally The COVID-19 crisis forced us to reassess our priorities and shift our communication efforts to supporting COVID-19 awareness and providing a safe trusted source of updates and information for the region SPCrsquos visibility and engagement nevertheless continued to grow at a substantial rate

Social media platforms were the most significant growth areas with audiences and engagement increasing across every major platform in 2020 In particular YouTube views rose by 310 and Facebook followers by 200 (Graphs 43 and 44)

Staff engagement survey Communication and visibility

Introduction Following rapid adaptation of our operations in the face of COVID-19 and to ensure business continuity almost all of SPCrsquos business services are now delivered through digital channels The transformation started in March 2020 Since then SPCrsquos use of video conferencing online learning platforms collaboration platforms and other applications has more than doubled

Consolidation of SPCs internal systems towards a One SPC business model continued in 2020 The Business Systems Review and Financial Shared Services projects provided recommendations on gaps in corporate services and internal audits have identified process improvements in key areas for future implementation

Health and safety hazard reporting risk management and internal audits are now managed by dedicated staff recruited in 2020

Internal demand for legal services increased by 33 with more than 430 legal items actioned in 2020 including legal documents advice policies and templates

A full review of HR and staff policies resulted in the implementation of a new Manual of Staff Policies on 1 July 2020 SPC also acceded to the jurisdiction of the International Labour Organization Administrative Tribunal marking a significant step up in transparency and staff rights

Despite the challenges of the pandemic the time required to process the recruitment of locally engaged staff fell by 12 to 53 days the time required for internal recruitments reduced slightly (6) This timing however does not include commencement dates as challenges in relocating staff and their families led to substantial delays in several instances

Thursdays in Black Changing behaviours and attitudes to gender-based violence In light of statistics on violence against women (VAW) and the epidemic of gender-based violence (GBV) in the Pacific SPC sought to change behaviours and attitudes in the organisation through an internal campaign The year-long campaign was designed to increase the visibility of EVAW (Ending VAW) and GBV issues and support the implementation of SPCrsquos EVAW policy and broader lsquosafe workplacersquo environment

The initiative combined two major campaigns Thursdays in Black which was observed every Thursday during the year and 16 days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence an international campaign that occurs annually from 25 November to 10 December Staff were requested to wear black on Thursdays as a sign of respect and show of solidarity for women who have been victims and survivors of injustice and violence Other initiatives included EVAW training modules for staff professional development The SPC Social Club was influential in sharing photos and reaching out to staff in an informal way to support the campaign

SPCrsquos executive leaders sent weekly messages about EVAW and GBV to all staff At CRGA 50 the Director-General encouraged all delegates to wear black for the Thursday session and spoke about the reasons for doing so

At the organisational level the campaign promoted a workplace committed to EVAW

ContextIn addition to sustained support for its membersrsquo implementation of climate change adaptation and mitigation policies SPC implements its own emissions reduction strategy to help achieve climate neutrality and contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement (COP21)

SPCrsquos corporate engagement in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions has led to a series of achievements including establishing an internal carbon neutrality fund implementing SPCrsquos first carbon-neutral project and organising awareness-raising training to help regional partners improve their environmental performance

In 2020 SPC made a major shift towards reducing its carbon footprint by introducing a solar energy system to power its headquarters in Noumea The decision was based on a comprehensive energy audit in 2013 that assessed the sitersquos energy efficiency performance and recommended improvements Transitioning to renewable energy by installing a photovoltaic (PV) energy generation system was identified as the most efficient way to lower SPCrsquos carbon footprint

Change processA feasibility study estimated the cost of installing the PV system at USD 500000 Early engagement of SPC staff and divisions was a key prerequisite for the initiative It was presented to the teams most concerned (Housing OMD and Finance) to enable staff to share their views and develop ownership of the project

A resource mobilisation plan was designed and new funding mechanisms were envisaged to provide the upfront investment required Several donors were approached with the objective of getting funding from their regular contributions to SPC Other funding arrangements were also explored including co-funding and full cost recovery as well as leasing and equipment rental Finally SPC set up a carbon neutrality fund based on an internal travel levy This project was the fundrsquos first investment

Several conditions that came together in 2020 enabled the transition to renewable energy to become a reality Along with gaining collective commitment to the project the context of COVID-19 allowed unspent travel funds to be reallocated providing the additional capital investment required for installation to begin

ContextThe COVID-19 pandemic upended SPCrsquos usual way of doing business By February 2020 SPC banned staff from travelling to global hotspots and by March 2020 all were required to work from home The pandemic has had ongoing impacts on our staff on the way we work and on the communities we live in and serve However the need to respond to a rapidly evolving situation has resulted in operational improvements that will have long-term benefits

Change processSome staff were stranded when borders closed Our HR and Travel teams worked tirelessly to bring people home safely or repatriate them coordinating with governments and airlines to comply with frequent changes in rules for transit visas and quarantine

Travel restrictions and confinement periods meant that SPC needed to find ways to continue delivering projects remotely Information Services found solutions to allow divisions to hold meetings with simultaneous interpretation and capacity for breakout rooms

Lockdowns in SPCrsquos host countries prompted more practical operational changes including a move to paperless processing of payments Finance processes have previously required hard copies with a paper-based lsquorequest for payment formrsquo entrenched in SPC even in the age of digitisation With all staff working from home and some in different time zones there were difficulties in transmitting hard copies This provided the catalyst for Finance to digitise the process and by March 2020 efficient and transparent workflows for making payments were in place

HR adapted its work processes as the pandemic continued In addition to the new Manual of Staff Policies guidelines were issued on working from home and recruiting during the pandemic The Health and Safety Plan was launched and SPC introduced an internet allowance to cover the extra costs of remote working Staff working remotely were also supported by a lsquowardensrsquo network coordinated through the offices of the Deputy Directors-General

Performance Story

Results and impactThe PV system is projected to bring multiple benefits reducing both SPCrsquos carbon footprint and operating costs In terms of environmental and financial benefits it is expected to lead to a 30 drop in emissions and to reduce energy bills by 40 with a payback period of six to seven years

The new system aligns with SPCrsquos Social and Environmental Responsibility Policy and Climate Change Framework (2017ndash2022) It will also enable SPC to act as a responsible organisation proudly contributing to regional efforts to meet the target set by the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit global warming

The implementation of the project has provided a unique opportunity to share best practices for significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving organisational change with member countries partner organisations donors and staff It has also highlighted SPCrsquos willingness to engage in opportunities to achieve carbon neutrality

Lessons learnedConsidering the innovative nature of the project a learning-by-doing approach was used throughout Internal and external partners gained new knowledge thanks to a thorough consultation process involving regular information-sharing sessions and discussions to reach consensus As well the length of the project allowed SPC to capitalise on key takeaways and lessons learned that will be worth sharing with partners

Organisational and staff adaptative capacity were key to taking the project forward with issues including the cost of the project the identification of a new funding scheme and technical and financial arrangements

Internal coordination cross-divisional commitment and contextual sensitivity were also important factors The COVID-19 pandemic helped to direct both funding and focus towards the project and accelerated its implementation

Information technology

Within a few weeks Information Services was supporting three separate virtual meeting platforms and offering training to increase staff capacity The Heads of Fisheries meeting in May was the first major meeting held using Zoom with simultaneous interpretation also provided More than 180 participants attended Information Services supported several other important meetings in 2020 such as CRGA 50 which was held as a hybrid meeting Participants included the Chair in Port Moresby delegates and participants from across the Pacific and SPC staff in Noumea Suva Pohnpei and Niue

Investment in virtual meeting platforms ensured that SPC was able to continue serving members The graph below (Graph 45) shows that an average of 800 Zoom meetings were held each month following its introduction in April Microsoft Teams was used for 95 meetings per day in the same period which was consistent with usage before COVID-19

This change in delivery of services also had a significant impact on SPCrsquos travel patterns Domestic trips were prioritised with increased duty travel by car and boat and a substantial decrease in flights as the table below shows The result was a marked lowering in the number of kilometres accumulated and in SPCrsquos travel-related carbon footprint as the following table shows

Finance

As well as digitising the process for making payments Finance and Information Services also collaborated to develop an app that enables divisions to generate payment requests and obtain approvals electronically The app for paperless payments which was rolled out in November 2020 introduced strong internal controls that were missing from the paper process The app is linked to Navision SPCrsquos accounting system so payment requests must reflect Navision coding for vendors purchase orders jobs and staff Approvals are submitted via email reducing the risk of fraud as well as time spent processing paper forms and correcting errors Formal workflows have also been established to better clarify roles and responsibilities and the required documentation

Users have provided positive feedback on the system

Many of us have been hoping for an e-payment app for a long time so we are very happy to be able to use it at last No paper ndash Paul Judd Finance and Administration Officer FAME

Itrsquos easier to use than the paper template and automatically generates an email All the codes are pulled from Navision ndash Shobna Prasad Finance and Administration Officer HRSD

All of these changes helped SPC keep its operations running and continue providing services to members As a result by 31 December 2020 SPC had achieved a project execution rate of 81 in a year heavily disrupted by the pandemic

Lessons learnedOMD learned the following lessons from responding to COVID-19

bull A crisis can be a catalyst for change that might otherwise be difficult

bull It is important to prepare for similar challenges by investing in systems that increase SPCrsquos ability to work in flexible and agile ways
