Welcome to Pacific Solution Exchange!!

The Pacific Solution Exchange connects people who share similar concerns and interests, and brings them together virtually and face-to-face towards the common objective of problem-solving. Members come from a wide range of backgrounds, including government offices, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), development partner organizations, private sector companies, academics and research institutions.
The Pacific Solution Exchange helps
- Find a wide range of solutions
- Connect people with common interests
- Practitioners to gain recognition
- Increase development effectiveness
UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) in partnership with PIFS (Pacific Islands Forum Sectretariat), USP (University of South Pacific) and ADB (Asian Development Bank), SPREP (Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme) and other partners are working together to establish the Pacific Solution Exchange by initially offering an email based “e-Discussion”/Consolidated Reply service for knowledge sharing over a trial period till December 2011. The PSE team is set to launch a new ‘Community of Practice’ for Climate Change and Development (CCD) offering members four services (Query / response, discussion, consultation and collaboration) via email, and sharing a consolidated reply – a synthesis of all responses and additional resources for each exercise/issue.
This aims to:
- Leverage and expand the expertise pool on Climate Change and Development effectiveness presently diffused across the Pacific;
- Bridge the knowledge gap by facilitating knowledge sharing with other networks;
- Enhance south-south and small island state cooperation;
- Broaden the dialogue around Pacific issues to inform decision-making;
- Nurture

Over the next 2-3 weeks, members of the community will share their opinions, ideas and recommendations via the email network. At the end of the “Discussion” period, the Facilitation Team synthesizes the thread into a Consolidated Reply – a synopsis of the responses together with the additional resources recommended (websites, readings, experts or organizations), that is circulated to the Community.
