Pacific Agricultural & Forestry Policy Network

Effective policies rely on good information. Policy makers from the region identified weak communication, poor engagement of stakeholders, and lack of timely information as constraints to the development of effective Pacific agricultural and forestry policies and the enforcement and implementation of existing ones. A robust regional information exchange was identified as a valuable tool to strengthen communication in the area of agricultural and forestry policy.

The Pacific Agriculture and Forestry Policy Network (PAFPNet) is a regional network that helps to connect the people of the Pacific by facilitating sharing of experiences on issues related to agricultural and forestry policy at home and further afield.

PAFPNet strengthens communication and engagement among stakeholders and encourages open and constructive discussions enabling information to be shared at local, national, regional and international levels and coordination of activities to be improved.

HOW IS PAFPNet STRUCTURED?

PAFPNet is supported by the European Union funded Pacific Agriculture Policy Project where the Secretariat of the Pacific Community acts as the secretariat.
