COUNCIL OF REGIONAL ORGANISATIONS IN THE PACIFIC (CROP)

C H A R T E R

The Council of Regional Organisations in the Pacific (CROP) exists to ensure that regional organisations pursue their collective aim of achieving sustainable development in the Pacific Island Countries and territories in the most effective and efficient manner. All agencies are involved in facilitating and progressing human development of the Pacific islands. CROP seeks to ensure that, through coordinated and cooperative action, the best results are achieved in the interests of the people of the region.

CROP will keep abreast of existing and emerging issues so that :

  • Member organisations are aware of relevant developments;
  • Organisations achieve the highest possible returns;
  • Activities are complementary and achieve effective results;
  • Information and resources are effectively shared.

CROP provides the vehicle for the formulation and dissemination of the regional Strategy on Development Priorities. This strategy informs decisions on regional development priorities. The success of CROP will be measured not only by evidence of close working relationships, but ultimately by improved conditions in the Pacific Island Countries and territories.

CROP members undertake to work together in addressing the constraints and problems of island development, and to providing the necessary services.

The efforts of CROP members will be directed towards achieving their aim through mutual support and cooperation. CROP members will achieve their individual mandates more effectively by working together.

Newsflash

Monday 2nd June 2014, Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) – Suva, Fiji - Co-convened by the Secretariat of Pacific Community (SPC) and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), the 6th Session of the Pacific Platform for Disaster Risk Management officially opened today, Monday 2nd June at Hotel Novotel in Lami Bay, Fiji.

Opened by Lieutenant Colonel Inia Seruiratu, Fiji's Minister for Rural and Maritime Development and National Disaster Management, and Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forests – the 6th Pacific Platform provides the region with a pivotal opportunity to shape disaster risk and climate change efforts for the next 20 years and beyond.

It will seek to gain support for the draft Strategy for Climate and Disaster Resilient Development in the Pacific (SRDP) and the development of the Post - 2015 Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction.

With the development of the SRDP, the Pacific is globally leading the way as the first region in the world to develop a regional strategy that integrates climate change and disaster risk management, while also nesting these priorities within the context of resilient development.
