Our Work
The Pacific Centre provides technical support to the UNDP Offices in the Pacific as well as implementing a range of regional activities in support of the Pacific Plan. The work of the Pacific Centre is complimented with support from the other two regional centres in the Asia Pacific Region based in Bangkok and Colombo. The Pacific Centre has a strong commitment to efficient and effective delivery with a focus on results that will impact on economic and social development in the region.
The three main practice areas of the Pacific Centre are governance; poverty alleviation and MDG achievement; and conflict prevention and recovery. All are interlinked requiring cross-practice synergy and effective team work to achieve results. The Pacific Plan is pivotal to the identification of areas of specific regional support with the Centre providing assistance with the design and implementation of regional public goods which require close partnerships with a wide range of other regional agencies, donors and stakeholders.
A key feature of the work of the Centre in the Pacific is the close connection between regional and country based activities. Country-based activities managed by the UNDP Offices can often be reinforced/ complemented by action at the regional level. While regional activities can often be the impetus leading to national commitment and the design of specific national projects.
A human rights based approach encompassing gender mainstreaming is central to all programmes undertaken by the Centre.
