๐ฅ What's the Big Deal:
The Pacific Islands Development Forum
(PIDF) collaborates with the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA) to establish
the Island Resilience Initiative (IRI) in Pacific Island nations like Palau,
Marshall Islands, and Fiji. ๐This initiative empowers local
public-private civic partnerships to drive the implementation of Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and global agreements.
IRI 1.0 focuses on strengthening
collaborative partnerships for system-level change ๐ช and initiating the
SDG framework for local implementation by 2030.
IRI 2.0 launches a project pipeline to
catalyze investments in integrated infrastructure, supporting public-private
civic partnerships. ๐ฏ It also establishes a peer-learning network
coordinated by the Global Island Partnership and Hawai‘i Green Growth.
Successful stakeholder consultations in
2018 resulted in action plans for SDG implementation, ๐ frameworks for
coordination, and prioritization of SDGs based on national needs. ๐ผ The
Initiative aligns with regional development frameworks and international
agreements, fostering resilience, sustainability, and economic prosperity in
the Pacific.
