SPC/CRGA 37 (07) Paper 2.2.1
SPC/CRGA 37 (07) Paper 2.2.1 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY THIRTY-SEVENTH MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF GOVERNMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIONS (Apia, 7-9 November 2007) OVERVIEW REPORTS FOR 2007 WORK PROGRAMMES – DIVISIONAL OVERVIEW PRESENTATION AGENDA ITEM 2.2.1 – LAND RESOURCES DIVISION (Paper presented by the Secretariat) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The Land Resources Division (LRD) continued to focus its activities on the outputs of its Integrated Strategic Plan 2005–2008. In developing work plans, special attention was given to aligning activities to national priorities elaborated in national and sectoral strategies. The management structure, which encourages integration and sharing of resources, has, among other benefits, added much value to the division’s human and financial resources. 2. Increased attention was given to LRD’s facilitation role in helping PICTs develop policy, legislation and plans. For the Pacific Islands’ voice to be heard and listened to, active engagement at the international level is important. LRD has engaged in a number of important forums and conventions during the year, such as the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF), UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA). 3. The Regional Germplasm Centre (RGC) has been renamed Centre for Pacific Crops and Trees (CePaCT) and the depth and scope of its work and that of the Pacific Agricultural Plant Genetic Resources Network (PAPGREN) and the Forests and Trees thematic area group have increased, particularly with the additional support provided by the transfer of the South Pacific Regional Initiative on Forest Genetic Resources (SPRIG) project to LRD. -

The Samoan Aidscape: Situated Knowledge and Multiple Realities of Japan’S Foreign Aid to Sāmoa
THE SAMOAN AIDSCAPE: SITUATED KNOWLEDGE AND MULTIPLE REALITIES OF JAPAN’S FOREIGN AID TO SĀMOA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN GEOGRAPHY DECEMBER 2012 By Masami Tsujita Dissertation Committee: Mary G. McDonald, Chairperson Krisnawati Suryanata Murray Chapman John F. Mayer Terence Wesley-Smith © Copyright 2012 By Masami Tsujita ii I would like to dedicate this dissertation to all who work at the forefront of the battle called “development,” believing genuinely that foreign aid can possibly bring better opportunities to people with fewer choices to achieve their life goals and dreams. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation is an accumulation of wisdom and support from the people I encountered along the way. My deepest and most humble gratitude extends to my chair and academic advisor of 11 years, Mary G. McDonald. Her patience and consideration, generously given time for intellectual guidance, words of encouragement, and numerous letters of support have sustained me during this long journey. Without Mary as my advisor, I would not have been able to complete this dissertation. I would like to extend my deep appreciation to the rest of my dissertation committee members, Krisnawati Suryanata, Terence Wesley-Smith, Lasei Fepulea‘i John F. Mayer, and Murray Chapman. Thank you, Krisna, for your thought-provoking seminars and insightful comments on my papers. The ways in which you frame the world have greatly helped improved my naïve view of development; Terence, your tangible instructions, constructive critiques, and passion for issues around the development of the Pacific Islands inspired me to study further; John, your openness and reverence for fa‘aSāmoa have been an indispensable source of encouragement for me to continue studying the people and place other than my own; Murray, thank you for your mentoring with detailed instructions to clear confusions and obstacles in becoming a geographer. -

Economic and Fiscal Analysis
Economic Recovery Support Program (Subprogram 2) (RRP SAM 43191) ECONOMIC AND FISCAL ANALYSIS A. Development Performance 1. The Samoan economy is led by the tourism, agriculture, and fisheries sectors, which are vibrant sources of employment and economic growth. However, Samoa, like other Pacific island countries, faces constraints imposed by a small domestic market, high transportation costs, inefficiencies in the state-owned enterprise (SOE) sector, weaknesses in physical infrastructure, and a weak business climate. 2. The economy is also highly exposed to external global conditions, and adverse weather, natural disasters, and crop disease—that is, factors beyond its control. The balance of payments, for example, relies heavily on the continued inflow of private remittances, official grants, and international tourism receipts (which are highly dependent on economic conditions in major trading partner markets such as Australia, New Zealand, and the United States). The economic cost of several cyclones in the early 1990s (which saw the ratio of government expenditure to gross domestic product (GDP) peak at more than 80% in FY1993), as well as the extensive damage to local food production as a result of the taro blight, offer other examples of the economies vulnerability. 3. Yet Samoa has overcome these inherent limitations through political stability, and prudent and decisive policy action based around major economic and public sector reforms. Macroeconomic and fiscal stability, liberalized financial markets, public service reforms, reduced government presence in commerce, improved infrastructure, and increased liberalization of the telecommunications and aviation markets have significantly improved the business environment. As a result, Samoa is widely regarded as a success story of the Pacific. -

Our ITF development officer Dan O‘Connell, assisted by an enthusiastic group of OTF development officers, has been instrumental in continuing the grassroots development of tennis. The various activities are covered in depth elsewhere in this report. After two earlier attempts to move forward with resurfacing the courts at the regional tennis centre in Lautoka, the project finally got underway in May 2008.

In the spirit of a tough sporting challenge, the 2009 Pacific Mini Games presented numerous obstacles for the Cook Islands, its people, and Government. And although the early path to ‘victory’ was very much an uphill battle I am pleased to say that those faced with the task of producing these Games did not shy away from the jobs at hand. Of course, those jobs were many and everyone from the tireless volunteers to the relentless efforts of the organisers are deserving of high praise. In the aftermath of such a major event, particularly for a small island nation like ours, the focus often falls on the nature of ‘how’ and ‘why’ we struggled with certain difficulties. -

MAE KOIME -‐ Athletics Profile Following the World Athletics Day in 2
MAE KOIME - Athletics Profile Following the World Athletics Day in 2001, Mae Koime was selected as part of a small international group of young athletes to attend the World Championships in Athletics in Edmonton, Canada. They were to be the guests of the I.A.A.F. She had a VIP pass to watch the very best athletes in the world compete against each other and record fantastic performances. From then on Mae’s heart was set on doing the best that she could in the sport to represent and actually compete at these big global meetings. She had already tasted international travel the year before when she competed in the Oceania Championships in Adelaide, just before the Sydney Olympic Games, but her appetite for greater things was now beginning to emerge. Over the next decade Mae had the chance to compete in some of the great stadiums in the world. In 2002 she had the opportunity to travel to the “Home of Sprinting” – Kingston Jamaica – to compete in the World Junior Championships, where she qualified for the semi-final of the 100m event. The following year it was to Paris for the World Championships, and then in 2004 to the birthplace of the Ancient and Modern Olympic Games - Athens, Greece where Mae competed in the 100m event. 2005 saw her participate in the World Championships in Helsinki Finland, and in 2006 it was closer to home with the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne at the famed Melbourne Cricket Ground. In Melbourne she progressed to the 2nd round of the 100m and joined the other PNG sprinters to finish fifth in the 4 x 400m Relay.
