The IFAD Pacific Islands Partnership Strategy has two strategic objectives: (i) promoting production, consumption, and import substitution of locally grown and indigenous foods in environmentally sustainable ways, and (ii) increasing farm and non-farm income and employment opportunities. It focuses on isolated areas facing hardship, prioritizing women, youth, and disadvantaged communities. IFAD's programs in the Pacific engage in areas like community development, social and economic empowerment, food and nutrition security, high-value niche markets, and climate change adaptation. Lessons learned indicate that communities can find solutions when provided with adequate support, building on traditional knowledge through local institutions is effective, and partnerships are instrumental to designing appropriate interventions.
