The consultants carried out consultations with each of the Forum Countries and then prepared a report for the April 1993 Pacific Island Countries/Development Partners meeting on a proposed framework to set a strategy for regional development assistance. A program of action was established for a gradual development of a regional strategy based in the report submitted.

Detailed Narrative Description of Project:

The project was prompted by a decision of the 1992 Forum Leaders meeting asking the Forum Secretariat to examine how the Forum Island Countries could collaborate on a regional strategy to strengthen their economic development programmes. The project highlighted a number of diverse needs of each Forum Island Country which necessitated a long-term gradual development of a regional strategy. To steer the process the project report recommended the establishment of a Ministerial Finance and Economic Committee which would concentrate on operationalising the finance and economic meetings of the Forum Leaders relating to advancing a regional strategy for programming of regional development aid.
