The Public Service Fale has partnered with the Ministry for Primary Industries Pacific fisheries capacity development programme to make fisheries learning more accessible to Pacific public servants through FaleOnline.
Te Pātuitanga Ahumoana ā Kiwa, known as Te Pātui, is MPI’s Pacific fisheries capacity development programme. Te Pātui works with Pacific Island countries and regional organisations to strengthen fisheries governance, management, and monitoring, control, surveillance and enforcement.
The Fale provides an on-line learning management system, where Pacific public servants can access Te Pātui’s online eLearning modules, developed with and for the region. The modules are flexible and self-paced, complementing in person support or training that can be requested through MPI.
Strong fisheries governance supports livelihoods, food security, and sustainable oceans across the Pacific. Pacific public servants play a central role in this work, often balancing complex technical, environmental, and community considerations. Access to practical, relevant learning helps support confident decision making and consistent practice.
The Fale and Te Pātui are funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the programmes have a common focus on long term capability building within Pacific public services.
The Te Pātui modules available on FaleOnline cover key areas of fisheries management and enforcement, including:
- Principles and approaches
- Tools and measures
- Management across sectors
- Introduction to coastal fisheries
- Ethics, a code of conduct for authorised officers
- Boarding and inspection
Pacific public servants can access Te Pātui learning on FaleOnline here.
