The Land Resources Division (LRD) Business Plan 2019 - 2023 is a consolidated package responding to Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) members’ needs prioritised and articulated at two meetings held within the framework of the inaugural Pacific Week of Agriculture (PWA) in Port Vila, Vanuatu in 2017. First, the special sitting of the Heads of Agriculture and Forestry Services (HoAFS), its fifth; followed by the inaugural Ministers of Agriculture and Forestry Services (MoAFS) Meeting held in partnership with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Since the dialogue at the Heads of Agriculture and Forestry Services (HOAFS) in 2017 LRD has finalised its Business Plan, and has leveraged its regional position and the core skills of its staff to maintain services and partnerships, responding to member countries and coordinating donor funds to drive new initiatives in the agriculture, forestry and land use sectors of the Pacific. Land Resources Division (LRD) has undergone significant transformation over the course of this reporting period, from July 2017 to June 2019.
