of their coastal fisheries management requirements.
The post requires a self-starter with considerable initiative, an
excellent knowledge of reef vertebrate (fin-) fisheries in the Pacific
Community region, and experience in taking part in appropriate applied
research programmes. When making letters of application for the post,

SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY
DUTY STATEMENT

FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT ADVISER

The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is an independent
intergovernmental agency providing technical advice, assistance,
training and research in the service of the 22 Pacific Island countries
and territories of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. It currently has
a staff of more than 230. SPC is officially bilingual, with English and
French being the working languages.
The Fisheries Development Section is one of six sections that makes up
the Coastal Fisheries Programme. The Fisheries Development Section is
made up of three professional staff with part-time support from a
Technical Support Officer. The Section's objective is to: 'Assist
countries and territories to develop economically viable,
environmentally sustainable, fishing enterprises focusing on vessel
operations, harvesting activities and post-harvest practices'.
The Fisheries Development Adviser manages the Fisheries Development
Section. This includes supervising the Section's staff, writing funding
proposals to ensure the Section has adequate funding to implement
projects as requested by member countries and territories, and the
writing of progress reports to donors on project activities and outputs.
This position is also responsible for the Section's expenditure,
ensuring that the work programme is implemented, and the office is run
within the limits of the budget on hand.
The Fisheries Development Adviser is responsible for organising
technical assistance projects as requested by member countries and
territories. This entails travelling to the requesting country,
developing an agreed work programme, ensuring that the host country has
the appropriate gears, materials and vessels for the proposed project,
and the provision of advice and information on materials and suppliers
for specific items needed by the host country to successfully implement
the project. This position also undertakes studies in the field,
especially in regard to development options and constraints, including
infrastructure requirements and training needs, as input to national
tuna management and development plans, which requires the Fisheries
Development Adviser to operate independently when needed, to meet the
objectives of the specific project.
When in the field, the Fisheries Development Adviser works with a range
of local people with different cultural, ethnic and educational
backgrounds, including local fishermen and fishing company executives,
Fisheries Department employees, Secretaries to Government and Ministers.
Good communication skills and patience are required when meeting with
different people on each project. Excellent negotiation skills are also
needed, especially when problems are encountered during the development
of projects in-country and realistic objectives are being discussed, and
solutions need to be found.
There is also a need for this position to liaise, negotiate and work
with other sections within SPC and regional organisations, to ensure
that work is completed and the objectives of the Fisheries Development
Section are met. Interactions are with the Oceanic Fisheries Programme,
where data are required for specific country assignments, or the OFP
needs input on fishing technology issues, especially within the observer
programme. Collaborative work is arranged with the Community Fisheries
Section and the Fisheries Training Section. Other sections worked with
include Translation and Interpretation, Information and Technology,
Administration, Finance, Publications, Planning Unit, Maritime Programme
and other programmes within SPC as necessary. Collaborative projects are
also undertaken with regional organisations, such as the FFA (Forum
Fisheries Agency - input to national tuna management and development
plans) and SPREP (South Pacific Regional Environment Programme - marine
debris work).
At the end of each country visit or assignment, the Fisheries
Development Adviser writes a duty travel report or drafts a report of
project activities with conclusions and recommendations. This position
also provides assistance to the other staff of the Section with the
writing of their reports, conducts technical edits of these reports and
supervises their finalisation, printing and distribution. This position
also provides input and supervises the drafting of text for technical
manuals, the production of diagrams, and the finalisation of these
manuals. Fisheries Newsletter articles, and information brochures and
posters are also written or developed, as another means of disseminating
information widely in the region.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Fisheries Development Adviser is responsible to the Director of
Marine Resources, and the duties of the post are implemented in
consultation and with the advice of the Director as appropriate. The
current duty statement of the Fisheries Development Adviser is as
follows:
* Develop, plan and co-ordinate in-country technical assistance
assignments for the Section, based on requests received from member
countries and territories;
* Supervise the two professional and one support staff members of
the Fisheries Development Section;
* Provide advice and technical assistance in all aspects of FAD
programming, including possible material suppliers, conducting site

programme of the Section, and work within the limits of the Section's
budgets;

sustainable fisheries development, and seek input from member countries
and territories through the Heads of Fisheries meetings, to ensure any
new directions are what the clients want;
* Liaise with the public and private sector in member countries
and territories to keep abreast of developments and changes to identify
possible needs and build these into the work programme of the Section;

SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY
DUTY STATEMENT

TEAM LEADER - PACIFIC ACTION FOR HEALTH
NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PROJECT

BACKGROUND
The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is a technical advisory,
training and research organisation serving 22 Pacific Island countries
and territories of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. SPC currently
has more than 230 staff members. It is a bilingual organisation, with
English and French as its official working languages.
The Pacific Action for Health project, which the Government of Australia
funds through the Australian Agency for International Development
(AusAID), has a budget of A$ 3.75 million over four years. The project
was launched at SPC on 28 August 2000.
Pacific Action for Health is a regional project, based in four
countries: Tonga, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Kiribati. Its
purpose is to create an environment conducive to health by increasing
the capacity of Pacific Island Countries to address risk factors for
non-communicable ("lifestyle") diseases (NCDs). It will target young
people, using a preventive, comprehensive, health promotion approach and
working through local non-government and community organisations as well
as with national government agencies. It is intended that a broad range
of outputs and activities will deliver a reduction in the adoption and
development of NCD risk factors amongst young people, create government
policies and community environments which support healthy lifestyles and
improve national capacity to engage in health promotion activities.
CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROJECT
The project was designed to have a one year inception phase, during
which research and extensive consultation were to be used to determine
the details of project focus, entry points and structure with
stakeholders in the partner countries. A detailed workplan of
activities would be produced. This was to be followed by a three year
implementation phase. A revised project design, using information
collected through the project during the inception phase and based on
consultation with community and government stakeholders in partner
countries, will soon be undertaken by an independent team of experts.
It is to be finalised by June 2002.
In Kiribati and Vanuatu some inception phase tasks have been completed
and it has been agreed the entry point of the project will be alcohol as
an NCD risk. Local non-government organisations have been selected as
project partners and project activities will commence in early 2002.
For Tonga and the Solomon Islands, the Inception Phase is about to
begin. The single risk factor to be addressed by the project will be
determined in consultation with the partner governments and other
stakeholders, using information derived from research and baseline KAP
surveys.

THE PROJECT TEAM
The project implementation team will consist of six long-term staff: the
team leader and his/her deputy, who will both be based in Noumea, and an

where necessary as well as by SPC technical staff. Each partner
government will provide a counterpart officer to facilitate project
operations.
The project will be embedded in the Secretariat's Public Health
Programme. Current activities of the Public Health Programme include
initiatives in health management, health promotion, HIV/AIDS & STDs,
nutrition & lifestyle, public health surveillance and communicable
disease control and tuberculosis. The Public Health Programme is part of
the Social Resources Division. The division also includes a number of
socio-economic programmes e.g. Demography/Population, Statistics, Rural
Energy Development Programme, Cultural Affairs Programme, Pacific
Women's Resource Bureau and the Pacific Youth Resources Bureau,

Pacific Vacancies - 2002

ecoconsult
 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Dear Colleague,

?

As Fiji is located just west of the International Dateline I seize the opportunity to be one of the first in 2002 to wish you and those near you the best of health and happiness ¨C and may you find this year the job you¡¯ve always wanted ¨C and ¨C more importantly perhaps - the satisfaction that should come with it!

?

Now in its 4th year, Pacific Vacancies is close to the 1000th subscriber milestone. The vacancies are directly sent to some 50 countries, including all Pacific Island Countries, although they reach a much larger audience as many subscribers forward them to friends and colleagues, distribute them on local networks, or place them on websites.

?

In 2001 the service distributed 175 job ads, which reflects an increase of 70% to those sent out in 2000. ?Since mid-2001 we have started to distribute vacancies from The University of the South Pacific, which is perhaps the single largest regional employer in the Pacific. We are also very pleased to receive increasingly more advertisements from organisations and institutions in the northern Pacific.? Also, we are covering an increasingly wider range of sectors, and have successfully sought to distribute job ads in the health sector in the region.

?

It was our intention from the beginning to provide a wider distribution of vacancies in the Pacific region, in particular to those residing in Pacific Island Countries where access to the WWW is suboptimal, and where the conventional means of job advertising have their limitations. Although details are hard to come by, we have been reliably informed recently that most Pacific Island residents that apply for any of the jobs do refer to Pacific Vacancies as their first and main source of information. We are very pleased to see the effect of the service.

?

We very much appreciate your support, and look forward to continue Pacific Vacancies in 2002, 2003, and the years thereafter. And of course, and comments and suggestions are very ¨C and always ¨C welcome.

?

Cheers!

?

Wilco Liebregts
