Are there any risks or major issues that are impacting on your organisations capacity to implement this decision? Government of Australia • Lack of coordination in the energy sector is widely recognised as a constraint to energy security in the region. Australia will provide appropriate support to the SPC in its role as the lead regional agency responsible for energy coordination in the Pacifi c, in addition to supporting coordinated action at the national level with Pacifi c Island Countries and other development partners. Government of Kiribati • Italian Government Support: spare parts for future maintenance of systems under the above mentioned four projects funded by the Italian Government will be long-term challenges. • European Union Support: need for capacity building trainings to concerned locals on the maintenance of the systems installed in community places. • Pacifi c Environment Community (PEC) Fund: need for support in fi nalising the development of the detailed project proposal. Concerned Government of Kiribati offi cials will be in contact with SPREP should the need arise. Government of Palau • Lack of political will hinders the progress of the Pacifi c Petroleum Project in Palau. • Lack of staff and resources for the energy offi ce
Are there any risks or major issues that are impacting on your organisations capacity to implement this decision? (continued) Government of Tuvalu • Availability of funding to achieve the Tuvalu National Energy Policy of 100 percent renewable energy for power generation by 2020. • PEC fund full proposal might not be approved; and delay implementation. • The problem of capacity to manage the USD4million dollars for solar and desalination development within the Government. Government of Vanuatu • The Energy Unit under the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources is currently understaffed and would do with an upgrading of its institutional capacity. • Financial resources are needed for institutional strengthening. • Financial resources required for awareness and consultations on the Energy Roadmap. Secretariat of the Pacifi c Community (SPC) • The major issue is the funding and the lack of advisory level staff, in particular on petroleum (SPC), policy and regulatory reforms (SPC), power (PPA) and data base (SPC). • Low priority given to data collection, analysis and research to support policy development. • There is a need to raise the awareness of Energy as a key sector in Pacifi c Island Countries and development partners. 2009 Pacifi c Plan Priority (v) Providing greater support to tourism, the region’s largest economic driver, and, in particular: • accelerating development of emerging geographic and niche markets; • improving access to Pacifi c destinations by air and sea; and • continuing to build the capacity of small and medium service providers to cater to current and emerging international markets and generate employment opportunities.
