Welcome to the Pacific Community (SPC) strategic plan page. We will use this page to update you on the progress we are making towards the Strategic Plan 2022–2031, and update you on events and products related to the plan.

The Committee of Representatives of Governments and Administrations (CRGA) is SPC’s governing body. It meets every year to review SPC’s performance. In November 2021, the 51st CRGA endorsed our new strategic plan – Strategic Plan 2022–2031 – and adopted it in Noumea at its 12th conference.

In 2024, SPC underwent an independent institutional review (IIR) of the organisation. Part of that review includes the 3-year milestone members requested during the development process. Updates of the IIR will be regularly posted on this page under the ‘Evaluating the Strategic Plan’ section.

Download the strategy or a one-page summary of the strategy.

An accessible copy of the strategic plan is available. This version is compatible with optical character recognition (OCR) devices and smart phone applications for the text to be read aloud.

We are sharing our strategic plan widely to promote the attitudes, behaviours, knowledge, skills and values that our staff, partners and members need for it to be successfully implemented.

Our strategic plan is a living document, meaning it is continually updated to keep it relevant and useful for our members, partners and other stakeholders. We use every opportunity to talk with them, and use their insights to inform how we implement the strategy.

You can follow our progress on the implementation of the strategic plan, by reading our annual results reports and other products that we publish related to our results.

2024 Independent Institutional Review (IIR) of SPC

In 2023, SPC’s membership requested an independent institutional review of the organisation.

After an open tender process, the Humanitarian Advisory Group (HAG) and Collaborate Consulting Pty Ltd (CoLAB) were selected as the evaluation team to lead the 2024 IIR process of SPC.

The members outlined and endorsed the objectives of the IIR. These are:

• Objective 1: To assess to what extent the organisation is fit-for-purpose to deliver regional aspirations and priorities.
• Objective 2: To assess to what extent the organisation is fit-for-purpose to deliver the aspirations in its strategic plan in relation to Goal 4 and KFA 7.
• Objective 3: To assess SPC’s operational model, governance arrangements and institutional capacities and identify strengths, areas for improvement and opportunities.
• Objective 4: To assess relevance in relation to member needs and service delivery.
• Objective 5: To review the alignment and implementation process at the three-year horizon of the SPC Strategic Plan 2022–2031 within the broader context of this institutional review. 

Regular updates on the IIR process will be posted here in chronological order

• Terms of reference of the IIR
• CRGA Subcommittee for the Strategic Plan (CRGA Subcommittee) papers
• Summary brief of the process
• Inception report
• Summary brief of progress (at September 2024)
• Emerging findings presented at CRGA

The CRGA Subcommittee for the Strategic Plan supports our members involvement in setting the direction and priorities of SPC – their organisation – and guides CRGA on SPC’s strategic direction. The subcommittee holds us accountable for our plans and actions, by reviewing our annual results report. It tracks the progress we are making with the implementation of the strategic plan, before reporting back to CRGA.

Alongside the development of our strategic plan, was a range of materials that you may find useful. These include updates from our members, outcomes of our consultation meetings, even infographics. We’ve listed these below in, starting with the most recent.
