Abstract:
The review is informed by stakeholder consultations, a comprehensive review of the existing PIFACC and Action Plan, and an analysis of responses to strategic questions sent to SPREP members and to national contacts for both climate change and disaster risk management and a sub-regional workshop held in Nadi, Fiji. A peer review workshop was held at SPREP at the conclusion of the consultations. The review findings are used as the basis for recommending both strengthening the PIFACC and enhancing its implementation.
Specific tasks undertaken during the review were to: (i) identify, assess and recommend ways to better align and link implementation of the PIFACC and other relevant regional frameworks and policies, including the Regional Disaster Risk Management Framework for Action, the Pacific Plan, the Niue Declaration and the Cairns Compact; (ii) develop a practical monitoring and evaluation framework for reporting on the progress of PIFACC implementation; (iii) provide a record and evidence of the review process, as well as
