Working together for a more resilient Pacific

Integrate Pasifika is a regional knowledge-sharing platform designed for Communities of Practice (COPs) in disaster risk management (DRM) and climate resilience. It is a space where practitioners can exchange knowledge, discuss challenges, and collaborate on solutions. Our aim is to bridge information gaps, strengthen capacity, and ensure that decision-making is based on reliable, shared knowledge.

Our Mission

Integrate Pasifika contributes to increasing Pacific Island Countries' ability to provide technical support for risk-informed decision-making to build resilience to climate change impacts. We aim to build regional and national capacity in technical areas and facilitate peer-to-peer learning and exchange.

Our Vision

To be the premier knowledge platform where Pacific technical specialists have greater access to training, knowledge products, and technical support for climate and disaster-related information and decision-making across the region.

Key Objectives

Our strategic goals for building Pacific resilience through knowledge sharing and collaboration

1

Knowledge Platform Development

Develop a bespoke knowledge platform where countries and partners can share lessons and experiences of using risk information, including work undertaken by participating countries and partners.

2

Communities of Practice

Establish communities of practice and support peer-to-peer networks. Our Communities of Practice Roadmap provides a structured means to track progress and facilitate collaboration.
