Strengthening Displacement and Evacuation Centre Management in Vanuatu 🇻🇺

As part of the Sef Ples Blong Yumi Phase II Project, IOM in collaboration with NDMO, Provincial and Area Council authorities, continues to strengthen Displacement and Evacuation Centre Management (DECM) at provincial and community levels.

During August, Evacuation Centre Management trainings were conducted across Sanma and Malampa Provinces, bringing together Provincial and Area Council representatives to strengthen their knowledge, coordination, and preparedness for effective evacuation centre management during emergencies and disasters.

These trainings support the establishment of stronger Provincial and Area Council DECM structures while building the capacity of local authorities and communities to better prepare for, coordinate, and manage evacuations during disasters.

Through continued financial support from the Government of Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the project team including National Disaster Management Office, IOM, Provincial Governments, Area Councils and communities, are working towards building capacity so that communities across Vanuatu are safer, more prepared, and more resilient to disasters.

HAPPY FIJI DAY! 🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯

Today, as Fiji marks 56 years of Independence, IOM proudly joins all Fijians in celebrating 'our nation, our people and our shared future.'

Fiji Day is more than a commemoration of independence. It is a celebration of the strength, diversity and resilience that define Fiji. It is a time to honour those who came before us, whose vision, courage and sacrifice helped shape the nation we proudly call home.

Speaking during the celebration, IOM staff member Dr. Merewalesi Yee emphasized the importance of partnership and shared responsibility, noting that:

At IOM, we are reminded that we do not simply work in Fiji, we work with Fiji. We remain committed to listening, learning and partnering with communities, government, civil society and stakeholders across the country to help build a future that is inclusive, resilient and leaves no one behind.

This year's celebration was made even more special by the presence of IOM Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific, Mr. Iori Kato, who joined staff in commemorating this auspicious occasion and reflecting on Fiji's remarkable journey and leadership in the Pacific region.

As we celebrate, we also acknowledge the rich cultural tapestry that makes Fiji unique. From veiwekani, respect and community spirit to the enduring contributions of all who call Fiji home:

Speaking on the significance of Fiji Day for Indo-Fijian communities, IOM staff Dhruvkaran Nand shared a heartfelt tribute:

"Fiji Desi Humara Hai, Prano Se Bhi Pyara Hai"

Together, let us continue building a Fiji that is united in its diversity, grounded in its values, resilient in the face of challenges and confident in its place across our Blue Pacific and the world.

Me da marautaka na noda Viti, na noda vanua, kei ira na noda tamata. Me da duavata tiko, veidokai, ka veilomani.
Me kalougata tiko na noda Viti, nikua kei na veigauna sa tu mai.

Today, we honour our past with gratitude, celebrate our present with pride, and look to the future with hope.

Happy 56th Independence Day, Fiji!
Me kalougata tiko na noda Viti.
May God bless Fiji and all its people.

🌊 From Commitment to Action: Pacific Leaders Advance Climate Mobility Solutions at PreCOP31

Governments, regional organizations, civil society representatives, development partners and United Nations agencies came together in Nadi, Fiji, for the Pre-COP31 side event, “Accelerating Action on Climate Mobility: From Policy Commitments to Implementation,” hosted by the Technical Working Group on Human Mobility (TWG-HM).

The event highlighted progress under the Pacific Regional Framework on Climate Mobility (PRFCM) & it’s Implementation Plan 2025–2030 and explored opportunities to strengthen financing, partnerships and practical implementation to support communities experiencing climate-related displacement, migration, planned relocation and other forms of mobility.

Moderated by Ms. Teea Tira, Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), Programme Adviser, the discussion featured contributions from Mr. Iori Kato, IOM Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific; Ms. Emeline Siale, Executive Director of the Pacific Islands Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (PIANGO); Mr. Espen Ronneberg, Senior Advisor Climate Change at the Pacific Community (SPC); Mr. Matereti Mateiwai, Head of Adaptation at Fiji's Ministry of Environment and Climate Change; and closing reflections provided by Ms Heike Alefsen, Regional Representative, Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) Regional Office for the Pacific.

Panelists emphasized the importance of sustained partnerships, inclusive governance and increased investment to support communities facing climate-related mobility challenges. The session also generated key recommendations on climate finance, adaptation, resilience and loss and damage to help inform discussions leading up to COP31.

A key takeaway from the event was clear: the Pacific is not only shaping the global conversation on climate mobility but also demonstrating practical, rights-based, people-centred and community-led solutions for communities on the frontlines of climate change.
