A second phase (or a new project) should be developed
for strategic, long-term capacity-building in OFM in Pacific SIDS, and to specifically assist
smaller Pacific SIDS and those with governance
and other problems.
Rationale:
The need for continuation and long-term sustainability
of the OFM initiatives, and need for more focused assistance to small Pacific SIDS has been raised
throughout the MTE.
The 2007 Pacific Forum Leaders’ Vavau Declaration calls
for long-term, strategic capacity-building
in OFM in the Pacific SIDS.
Timing:
Planning should commence as soon as possible on a new
project. Although the details of this are outside the scope of this MTE, some general
suggestions on process are provided.

RECOMMENDATION: FUTURE INITIATIVES?
Continuation
of OFM Project or new OFM Project?
