  • The Role of the South Tarawa-Based Women's Interests Program in The
    Waves for Change: the role of the South Tarawa-based women’s interests program in the decolonisation process of the Gilbert Islands SAMANTHA ROSE BA (Hons), Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Division of Research and Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology Research Students Centre January 2014 i KEYWORDS History; women; decolonisation; Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony (GEIC); Kiribati; Tuvalu; women’s clubs; women’s interests; border-dweller; Church-based women’s clubs; women’s fellowships; indigenisation; gender; custom; Pacific women; community workers ii ABSTRACT Histories of the Republic of Kiribati (formerly the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony (GEIC)) have failed to fully acknowledge the pivotal role women played individually, as well as collectively through the phenomenon of women’s clubs, in preparing the Colony for independence. In the late 1950s, and in anticipation of the eventual decolonisation of Pacific territories, humanitarian developments within the South Pacific Commission (SPC) called for women's interests to be recognised on the regional Pacific agenda. The British Colonial administration, a founding member of the SPC, took active steps to implement a formalised women's interests program in the GEIC. Acknowledging that women were to have a legitimate role in the new independent nation, albeit restricted to that of the domestic sphere and at the village level, the British Colonial administration, under the leadership of Resident Commissioner VJ Andersen, initiated strategies aimed at building the capacity of organisational structures, personnel, training, networks and communication for community betterment. The strategy focussed on the informal adult education of village women through the creation of a national network of village-based women's clubs.

  • Kiribati National Implementation Plan for Persistent Organic Pollutants
    Kiribati National Implementation Plan for Persistent Organic Pollutants March 2019 Kiribati NIP 2019 Executive Summary The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (the Stockholm Convention) is an international treaty that requires Parties to phase-out and eliminate the production and use of the most persistent and toxic chemicals that have adverse impacts on human health and the environment. The Stockholm Convention was adopted on 22nd May 2001 and entered into force on 17th May 2004. On entry into force, the Stockholm Convention identified a list of 12 priority Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). This list was subsequently expanded to include 28 chemicals and groups of chemicals. Kiribati ratified the Stockholm Convention on 7 September 2004. Under Article 7 of the Stockholm Convention, Kiribati is required to develop, endeavour to implement, and update as appropriate, a National Implementation Plan (NIP), outlining how its obligations under the Convention will be met. This NIP covers the expanded list of 28 POPs chemicals and groups of chemicals listed under the Stockholm Convention to date (2018). The NIP has been developed and structured in accordance with guidelines provided by the United National Environment Programme. POPs chemicals are toxic, persist in the environment, bio-accumulate in the food chain, and have trans-boundary transportation capabilities, often ending up in locations and being bio-accumulated and biomagnified in human (and animal) populations that are far-removed from the source of their generation. The 28 POPs chemicals and groups of chemicals managed under the Convention (Table A) include pesticides, industrial chemicals and unintentionally produced POPs (uPOPs), which are listed under three Annexes as follows: • Annex A: these chemicals are mainly, but not exclusively, pesticides scheduled for elimination; Parties may register specific exemptions to continue the use of Annex A chemicals to allow for the time that may be needed to adapt and take necessary management measures required by the Convention.
