currently has a

English and
French being the working languages.
The SPC vision into
the 21st century is one of a vibrant and dynamic
bilingual regional technical
organisation working in partnership with its
members, other organisations and
donors, and excelling in the coordination
and delivery of priority work
programmes to Pacific Island countries and
territories. The Pacific
Women’s Bureau (PWB) of the SPC strives to
ensure that
SPC’s vision is realised with actions that support
gender equity

The PWB plays an
important role in the delivery of the Secretariat’s
technical
services to the island member countries of the Pacific Community
in the areas
of training and community education, monitoring and
evaluation, and
information and communication.
An independent review of the PWB was

Conference of Pacific Women (see
Annex 1). This plan will be drafted with the
assistance of the Divisional
Head and Bureau staff. This will be the primary
objective of the PWA;
 Implementation of the Bureau's three
year strategic plan; which
will include:
 Development and
implementation of training programmes on gender
awareness, and related
leadership, management, administration and
communication skills for various
target groups; PWB co-operation with the
SPC Community Education Training
Centre (CETC), based in Suva, will have
to be strengthened in this
context;
 Advising and assisting member countries on request in
the
formulation of women’s programmes and projects;
