FONO 2024
Regional collaboration, intentional commitments and visionary leadership dominates discussions at the Fono: Pacific Public Service Leaders Conference in Samoa.
The Public Service Commission Chairman Luke Rokovada and the Permanent Secretary for Civil Service Mr.Parmesh Chand are representing Fiji and will have the opportunity to dialogue with over 80 other Public Service Commission Leaders and Senior Government Officials from 16 Pacific Island countries over the next four days.
While moving the vote of thanks for the launch of the conference today, Chair Rokovada stated that this meeting provides a unique opportunity for leaders to collaborate, deepen relations and discuss our shared opportunities and challenges.
"As a subregion of Large Ocean Island States that make up our Blue Pacific Continent, we understand that to meet the challenges of the future and make the most of the opportunities for our people, we need strong and resilient public service systems," he said.
Chair Rokovada stated that the Commissioners Fono provides an opportunity tolearn from each other by highlighting success stories of Pacific-driven solutions.
He adds that the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific clearly articulates the vision of Pacific Leaders and the region for a resilient, safe, inclusive Blue Pacific Continent.
"This will not be possible if we do not strengthen public services to be more trusted by Pacific citizens, adaptable, results-driven, gender inclusive and people-centred."
The Commissioners Fono is a Pacific-led platform for exchanging ideas and sharing public service insights, was designed to foster collaboration on regional needs and develop cooperative solutions rooted in Pacific expertise.
The week will feature wide-ranging panel discussions, covering topics such as workforce sustainability, ethics, public service reforms, and building resilience through remuneration and rewards.
