Overview of Regional Effectiveness

Pacific-led approaches that prioritise Pacific voices and ownership, continue to lead the direction of the PWL at SPC programme. From concept to grant delivery, the goals and aspirations of Pacific peoples have been at the core of each step of the implementation of PWL at SPC’s body of work. 

PWL at SPC facilitates and supports national and regional dialogues to advance gender equality and making gender data available and accessible. This supports government policy development and decision making.
