Food Security and Sustainable Livelihoods in the Pacific Island Countries: Development Partners Mapping Study
There are currently many bilateral and multilateral development partners who provide substantial assistance to the Pacific Island Countries (PICs), and in order that this assistance translates into better sustainable development gains priority must be given to aid coordination and harmonization of support across development agencies. In the context of FAO programming assistance to the Pacific region (including the formulation of the expansion phase of the regional programme for food security1) t his mapping exercise was undertaken to detail and analyse current and planned activities of key development partners and regional agencies in the broader agriculture sector. The overall objective of the study is to enhance harmonization and complementarity of development resources based on respective comparative advantages. This study covers the 14 Pacific Island Forum Countries. Information was collected over a ten week period and collated into one regional overview and 14 country reports (pr esented in Annex 2). The main development partners active in the sectors of study have been identified along with their areas of concentration and geographical focus. Also reported on is how the aid is delivered (instruments and approaches) and the strategic frameworks in which this assistance is provided. The current mapping exercise is a useful starting point from which to identify what development support the 14 PICs are receiving in the sectors of the study. Because of the breadth of the stu dy (both geographically and across sector areas) it cannot be considered as exhaustive. The report makes no attempt to evaluate the quality, effectiveness or impact of the reported interventions. Therefore no firm conclusions can be drawn on whether or not the particular development needs of a country are being met.
