“As we develop, modernize and better integrate our economies with global standards and best practices, there is high expectations on openness, transparency and accountability.”

This was the statement of the Permanent Secretary for Civil Service Mr.Parmesh Chand while officiating at the Pacific-Australian SES Band 1 Development Program (Leadership Program) in Nadi this morning.

Nine-teen Senior Government Officials from eight countries in the region including Fiji are part of this week-long training programme aimed at enhancing cooperation at the senior level and fostering bilateral relationships in the Pacific region.

This week presents us a unique opportunity to pause, reflect and strategize in order to tackle the many challenges that modern Pacific leaders are tasked to help address. It is also an opportunity for us to build upon existing leadership capabilities with a focus on effectively navigating the strategic and political context to achieve outcome,” Mr.Chand stated.

The program, which runs from August 26 to August 30, 2024, is part of a comprehensive six-month leadership development initiative. It includes various learning activities such as workshops, project sessions, presentations, group exercises, and coaching.

This training is part of a partnership between the Australian Public Service Commission and its partners in the Pacific region.

Permanent Secretary Chand officiated alongside the Australian Public Service Commissioner Dr Gordon de Brouwer who is in the country for a visit.
