Pacific Regional Hub
The Pacific Hub is hosted by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). It will collaborate with the Council of the Regional Organizations in the Pacific (CROP), government agencies and national stakeholders in the 15 Pacific ACP countries. SPREP is an intergovernmental organization comprised of 14 Pacific ACP member countries, seven other Pacific island states and territories and four metropolitan countries. SPREP’s mandate is to promote regional cooperation on environmental management and conservation in the Pacific, which includes support to the member countries on the implementation of MEAs.

The target group for the Pacific Hub is the 15 Pacific ACP countries and their peoples – a total population of about six million. The target beneficiaries will primarily be Government officials, but also officials in local government and authorities, national stakeholders such as civil society organizations and the private sector. The Pacific Hub will foster building the intra-governmental networks necessary for cost-effective compliance with MEAs.

The Pacific Hub will implement activities worth a total of 1.3 million Euros over the four years. These activities will focus on providing technical assistance, training, and policy and advisory support services to enable participating countries to fulfill their MEA obligations.
