Hosted by the Fiji Public Service Commission, the theme of this year’s Fono is Winds of Change: Reimagining Public Service in the Blue Pacific Continent. This theme reflects the importance of regional collaboration and ensuring Pacific contexts are at the heart of solutions to Pacific public sector challenges.
