5. National Linkages Need to analyse the NSDP for PICTS and consider their priorities while developing the LRD Strategy for 2013-2017. Joint Country Strategy HOAFS/MOAFS Recommendation. Need to bridge the gap between the bilateral and national programs.

6. SPC Corporate Plan - is a secure and prosperous Pacific Community whose people are educated and healthy and manage their resources in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable way. SPC Vision of the Region

7. SPC Vision for the Organisation is a highly professional, bilingual and dynamic Secretariat that is evidence-based, outcomes driven, results oriented, transparent, accountable, people- centred, empowering, gender sensitive, and culturally aware, and that works in partnership with other national, regional and international organisations and its development partners to serve its island member

8. SPC Mission - is to help Pacific Island people position themselves to respond effectively to the challenges they face and make informed decisions about their future and the future they wish to leave for the generations that follow.

9. SPC Core Business Our core business is empowering PICTs through - capacity building, - capacity supplementation, - capacity substitution and - coordinating trans-boundary functions; to strengthen their national capabilities in order to achieve their development aspirations.

10. i. Sustainable economic development – focus on interventions that support PICTs to achieve sustained, inclusive and equitable economic growth in the sectors in which SPC works. ii. Sustainable human and social development – focus on interventions that support PICTs to achieve their national human and social development objectives and that foster equitable social development and inclusion in the sectors in which SPC works. SPC Key Development Outcomes

11. iii.Sustainable natural resources and environmental management and development – focus on interventions that promote integrated and sustainable development, management and conservation of natural resources and ecosystems in PICTs that support their economic, social and human development outcomes. iv. An efficient and effective organization with the capability and partnerships required to provide optimum services to members

12. Linkages to SPC Joint Country Strategy 22 PICTs had developed their JCS by working in partnership with SPC, focusing on their National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP). Countries priorities are drawn from the NSDP and Sectoral Plans where they do exist.

13. Multi Sectoral Approach SPC encourages multi sectoral approach on cross cutting issues such as; - Food Security -Climate Change -Trade -Gender -Youth etc..... It encourages joint programming and working together across Divisions and within the Division; example LRD and SOPAC planning, implementing USA Vegetation mapping and Climate Change Project.

14. LRD Strategic Framework Goal: To assist the Pacific Community to improve food, nutritional and income security and manage land, agricultural and forestry resources in a sustainable way. This Goal is derived from the SPC Corporate Vision of a region that is secure and prosperous and whose people are educated and healthy and able to manage their resources in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable way.

15. LRD’s 3 New Objectives In line with SPC 3 Key Development Outcomes we develop LRD’s objectives accordingly; 1. Improved food and nutrition security development. 2. Improved land, agriculture, forestry resources management and development. 3. Improved agriculture and forestry trade development.

16. Long Term Impact ( based on divisional goals ) Medium Term OutcomesKey Indicators (Measures) Improved economic development and food and nutritional security of the Pacific Community through the sustainable management and development of land, agriculture and forestry resources Improved food and nutritional Security development Improved capacity of 6 PICTs in promoting sustainable diverse farming systems for food and nutritional security. Improved land, agriculture and forestry resources management and development Improved capacity of 6 PICTs in developing, promoting and adopting best practices in land, agriculture and forest resources management and development Improved agriculture and forestry trade development Improved capacity of 15 PICTs towards development of trade in agriculture and forestry.

24. Benefits of LRD Restructure 1. Aligned to the SPC key development outcomes and other divisions. 2. Streamlining of the procedures and processes ( accountability and transparency). 3. Cost effectiveness - Reduce numbers of PAs from 8 for now to 5. 4. Clear career path for the Coordinators with the creation of the Deputy Directors at Level 14. 5. Effective management if the division has clear roles, responsibilities and accountabilities for service delivery 6. Maintain the LRD integrated mode of service delivery through joint programming.

25. LRD Strategic Planning Process Development of the LRD Strategic Plan 2013- 2017. 1.Objectives 2.Outputs 3.Activities ( country needs under JCS) 4.Costing of the activities based on JCS requirements of the countries 5. Criteria for the choice of the countries 6. 5 Countries per annum ( 22 PICTs completed at the end of the planned period)

26. Integrated Approach Business Model Integrated /holistic approach – Thematic Teams Country basis based on JCS requirements 1 country per quarter and two SIDs per quarter. Complete 4 /5 countries per year. Apart from the 5 countries the rest of PICTs will only get advisory services/ provision of information Project will continue as it is.

27. Budget allocation for each country for the planned period will be provided and the gaps as well. This could be provided to donors for the purchase of those services.

28. Selection Criteria 1. Criteria for Selection of 4/5 PICTs per year Based on the geological classes of the country Continental: PNG, New Caledonia, Vanuatu Higher islands: Fiji, Solomon Islands Raised atolls: Tonga, Samoa, FSM, Palau, W&F High atolls: Niue, Nauru, Fr Polynesia, Cook Islands Low lying atolls:Kiribati, Tuvalu Select one country per class per year.

29. 2. Common activities JCS based Activities that can be replicated Falls within LRD expertise and resources Supporting HOAFS/MOAF resolutions What do you want to achieve is it Food Security or Trade development outputs. 3. Level of commitment Level of preparedness Human resources availability Contribution from PICTs Feedback on DLRD's visit on commitment of the host.

30. 4.Piggy backing on other SPC projects, bilateral projects. 5. Identify duration of activities: short, medium or long term. 6. Strategy - Use Fiji as demonstration or pilot and lessons learnt - to be transfered to other PICTs.

31. Benefits and Justification Real Integrated Approach implemented on the ground. Program funding budget allocation will be equally shared between the 7 LRD Thematic Teams. Projects will continue as usual. Impacts will be far reaching and greater than current thinly spreading of resources and sometimes unclear impacts.

32. It is not new- Statistics for Development Division are implementing similar programs FAO Pacific Multi Country Programming Framework (CPF) 2013-2017 based on similar programs.
