The National Sustainable Development Board is an important part of the Pacific Islands Development Forum’s governance structure that provides a harmonized national reporting system.
This was highlighted by the Prime Minister of Tuvalu Enele Sopoaga at the launch of the national sustainable development board for Tuvalu.
Sopoaga says the board serves as the national and repository of information on all PIDF’s matters at the local and national level.
He says Tuvalu has set strategies that would see to coordination and implementation of decisions of PIDF’s.
Secretary General for the Pacific Islands Development Forum Francois Martel says the national sustainable development board will create and localize global frameworks such as link national activities and programs to the global policy level which will create support and enhance impact.
Martel adds that the Pacific Islands Development Forum will closely support the board through their establishment phase and take the opportunity to develop its strategic plans together with its climate roadmap.
He says Nauru, the Marshall Islands and the Solomons have already implemented similar to the Tuvalu’s National Sustainable Development board.
