Inclusion and Results Measurement Officer - Samoa

Program Background

The Pacific Horticultural and Agricultural Market Access (PHAMA) Plus Program commenced in late 2018. Its precursor program PHAMA commenced in 2011 and this phase of evolving support will result with the program spanning over 15 years.

The overall purpose of PHAMA Plus is to contribute to improved economic growth and rural livelihoods for Pacific peoples, with an emphasis on gender equity and inclusion and climate sustainability. PHAMA Plus continues to resonate strongly with the economic development, economic integration and regional strategic intentions underpinning the foreign policies of both Australia and New Zealand.

PHAMA Plus aims to improve economic growth and rural livelihoods in smallholder households across 10 Pacific countries (Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu), while also developing and growing export opportunities for Pacific primary exports to Australia, New Zealand and other countries. PHAMA Plus is commercially focused, export oriented and inclusive. It has three end-of-program outcomes:

Producers and exporters use maintained and new export market access for Pacific export products.

Women and men exporters, processors and producers adopt quality and productivity enhancing innovations for their export products.

Women and men staff of Pacific biosecurity authorities perform their market access facilitation functions better.
