INAUGURAL CONFERENCE

th th 5th-7th August 2013, Sheraton Fiji Resort, Denarau Island, Nadi, Fiji “Leadership, Innovation & Partnership for Green/Blue Pacific Economies”

PREFACE We are delighted that you will be joining us at the Inaugural Meeting of the Pacific Island Development Forum (PIDF). We hope that the information provided here will help you to get the most from the event.

Please bring these instructions with you; you will find them useful while at the meeting.

INTRODUCTION The PIDF Inaugural Summit contains a number of different strands designed to contribute to the overall outputs of the conference. These outputs themselves will be key to ensuring political commitment in the region to the measures considered by Conference participants to be essential to building the PIDF and bringing about Green Economic Policies into the Region.

The outputs have six dimensions. They must be both concrete and strategic. Some must lead to concrete action within countries to establish processes, build and extend infrastructure or develop and test new applications. Others must offer, to policy-makers in the region, proposals for action at the national, sub-regional and regional levels, to enhance economic and social development through the green economy. In all cases they must specify the most effective partnership models to implement the projects, plans or policies proposed.

All Speakers, Presenters, Panelists and Participants will be asked to keep in mind the six dimensions mentioned above that is key to the realization of PIDF Inaugural Meetings outputs: Identify concrete projects that can be implemented at the country level; Identify strategic issues (and potential responses) that need to be addressed by policy makers; Distinguish between activities and strategies targeted at: National; Sub-regional; and Regional levels; Indicate appropriate partnership models.

The Conference will only achieve its targeted outputs with the full cooperation of chairs, panelists, speakers, rapporteurs – and participants. In particular we ask all speakers to keep to their allotted times (detailed in the sections below). Frustration can build up very quickly if participants feel that discussions are being stifled by over long presentations.
