Currently based in Suva, Fiji, the FSPI Secretariat serves as the regional nexus for the FSPI NGO network. We work in partnership with our network affiliates and partner agencies to design and implement projects that foster the empowerment and viability of Pacific communities. As a regional co-ordinating body, our major roles and responsibilities are to: provide technical and capacity-building assistance to the network and other NGOs; provide sector-specific support in the areas of community health, community-based natural resource management, education and enterprise, with an underlying focus on good governance; promote dialogue and offer guidance and vision to the region; manage the network's regional programs; and liaise with regional organizations, governments, multilateral partners and donors. Long-term regional program planning assistance offered by FSPI provides for: a cost effective approach for program management and for professional assistance that address country specific needs; strengthening and promoting NGO/Government networking throughout the region to share successful ideas, human resources, technical assistance and lessons learned; building on existing materials from the region in order to develop effective, culturally appropriate materials that can be used with simple modification in each country; increasing the effectiveness of FSPI staff skills and knowledge in order to extend their work to other communities, government agencies and NGO colleagues; and providing standards of quality control for organisational and project operations through our FSPI Network Code of Conduct.
