The capital cites of the South Pacific are experiencing rapid urbanisation pressures as increasing numbers of people migrate to the primary cites either in search of employment and greater access to healthcare and education, or as a consequence of environmental push factors.

Technical report

The Pacific Islands Forum in 2005 adopted the Pacific Plan to strengthen and deepen regional cooperation and integration. Subsequently Leaders agreed that a regional institutional framework (RIF) that is appropriate to the development of the Pacific Plan be established. As part of the RIF review process the three CEOs of SOPAC, SPC and SPREP commissioned a two-part consultancy in early 2009. Part One was to analyse, assess and validate their proposed regional institutional arrangement to rationalise SOPAC’s work programme. Part Two was to consider the practical implications, including administrative, programmatic, and other issues relevant to the proposed new arrangements.
