“The 25th strategy for the blue pacific sets out a whole vision for a safe, inclusive and resilient pacific. Achieving this vision depends on public services that are adaptable and gender inclusive.”

Rokovada says, the conference is a platform to share experiences and build collaboration, ensuring public service remains resilient and responsive to Pacific communities.

He believe the outcomes will help chart a new direction for public service in the Blue Pacific, making it more inclusive, transparent, and future-focused.
