AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

TVET Funding Crunch: Pacific Polytech says its Government grant has been slashed from about $7m to $500,000, raising fears for 14 campuses, staff cuts and leave-without-pay while it argues Fiji must invest more in local technical training to plug skilled-worker gaps. Security Industry Reform: Fiji Law Reform Commissioner Ana Rokomokoti says every drone operating in Fiji should be monitored and registered, with the review also weighing stronger compliance for CCTV/drone/biometric firms and tighter rules for private security licensing (fewer than 100 of about 3,000 firms are licensed). Renewables Reality Check: Energy Fiji Limited admits it must boost solar capability to stay on track for 90% renewables by 2036, saying it needs a 15% push by 2029 and new in-house solar skills. Tourism Workforce Pressure: Fiji’s tourism sector needs at least 100,000 hospitality workers to meet demand, with officials urging graduates to build careers locally. Mahogany Value Push: Fiji targets higher-value U.S. mahogany markets like guitar components and premium furniture to lift returns beyond basic timber exports. Maritime Security Boost: The U.S. handed Fiji three new seven-metre rigid-hull boats and a ramp to strengthen responses to drug trafficking and illegal fishing. Climate-Smart Food: Live and Learn Fiji’s Kiwa EMPOWER nursery project is rolling out community nurseries and tools to support climate-smart agriculture and food security.
