17 JUNE 2016
Over 100 students visited the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) Campus today in Samoa helping to celebrate SPREP Day which is commemorated on 16 June of each year.
It was 23 years ago in 1993 that the signing of the agreement establishing SPREP took place however SPREP's origins go further back to the late 1970's, first with one staff member and meetings, then with staff based in New Caledonia, then moving to Samoa in Vaitele, to where the SPREP Campus is based today in Vailima with 100 staff members.
