This review report was prepared by an external consultant, Peter Johnston, with the support of the Pacifc Region Infrastructure Facility (PRIF) and the Pacifc Community (SPC).
This report reviews the Framework for Action on Energy in the Pacifc (FAESP: 2010–2020) and provides an outline of a new framework for 2020–2030. The outline is based on: i) responses to recommendations of a preliminary report provided to energy ofcials and ministers during the Fourth Pacifc Regional Energy and Transport Ministers’ Meeting held in Apia, Samoa, from 16–20 September 2019; ii) numerous discussions with ofcials, ministers, development partners and others; iii) the evolving concept of Pacifc regionalism endorsed by leaders in recent years; and iv) the decisions of ministers reached during their September Apia meeting. This report provides an approach, not a detailed design of the new framework, which will be prepared during a second phase and presented to Forum Leaders in Vanuatu in August 2020
