People-centred development in the Pacific

Communities leading their own development journey.
The Pacific Community is transforming how development happens across the region through their Pacific People Advancing Change programme, putting local communities at the heart of decision-making and action.

Working with civil society organisations across the region, the approach is about recognising each community’s unique context, priorities and strengths.

By shifting from traditional top-down models to locally-led development, the programme creates more sustainable outcomes and lasting positive change for Pacific communities.

These experiences are now shaping new tools and approaches that demonstrate the power of genuine community participation in development.
