(a) The second term of the OFM Project, and any future developments of the Project, specifically addresses the needs of smaller Pacific SIDS; support smaller Pacific SIDS in OFM (e.g. Sub-regional groupings, country-specific support from FFA); (c) long-term, strategic approaches should be developed to build capacity in OFM and ensure sustainability, and should be the focus of a future OFM Project.

agencies are ongoing and will be further strengthened in the second term of the project. Long-term capacity building needs will also be considered during the design of Phase III, late 2008 - 2009

The OFM Project should be more explicitly linked to the Pacific Plan and a new project be developed to implement the long-term strategic approach to capacity-building in OFM recommended under the Vavau Declaration. Discussions should be held between FFA and the Pacific Forum Secretariat in developing this project.
