Tourism Resilience Partnership
SOUTH PACIFIC TOURISM ORGANISATION (SPTO)
#SDGAction39994
Description
Capacity building and knowledge/technology transfer will happen at multiple levels. Most directly, and within the South Pacific, capacity building initiatives will be led by SPTO through regional forums and selected country workshops. The other partnership organisations will support SPTO in these initiatives and provide input and expertise. In addition, UNWTO will build capacity within the South Pacific by providing knowledge gained from other country projects, e.g. in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean or other comparable destinations. In turn, UNWTO will also take insights gained from activities within the South Pacific to share with other international destinations as case studies and/or lessons learnt.UNISDR maintains extensive networks of organisations and experts in disaster management and risk reduction with strong advocacy skills to work with Governments to influence policy.
The partnership will be governed through (i) Steering Group and (ii) Coordinating Secretariat.(i) Steering Group: This Group will be the peak decision making group for the partnership, and consist of representatives from each collaborating organization. It will consider key policy directions for the initiative and would meet once a year face-to-face and at other times via electronic means as deemed necessary.(ii) Coordinating Secretariat: Will consist of representatives from SPTO and GIFT. It will provide the regular operational and financial management of the initiative.
