- South Pacific Business Development
-
SPBD's mission is to improve the quality of life of people living in poverty in the poor island nations of the South Pacific, at first focusing on Samoa. A solution to the poverty caused by poverty of opportunity is to provide the poor with the opportunity to establish their own businesses. The poor however most often do not have the capital necessary to buy the equipment needed to successfully start a small business. SPBD is committed to making "the entrepreneurial solution" viable to any poor women in Samoa. SPBD provides small, unsecured loans to groups of rural women. Women invest their loans into businesses based on their existing livelihood skills.

- NGO strenthening in the Pacific : end of project report
-
by John Taylor, Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), 2005. The 'Pacific NGO Capacity Building Initiative' (hereafter the Project) was a collaborative, cost-sharing effort of CIDA and UNDP based in the Fiji Islands. The primary purpose of the Project was to strengthen the capacity of civil society including non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) and to initiate, manage and influence development processes within Pacific Island societies. The first phase of the Project began in April 1999 and ended in June 2002. The second and final phase of the Project finished at the end of 2005. This phase aimed to consolidate and sustain outcomes from the previous phase and provide an appropriate exit strategy for CIDA's contribution and investment in CSO strengthening in the Pacific. This Report highlights key results, issues and lessons learned from July 2002 to October 2005.
