Pacific Islands Development Program
Pacific Islands Development Program Website
The Pacific Islands Development Program (PIDP) of the East-West Center is organized to assist in providing professional services and research information to the Pacific island leaders in their collective efforts to achieve the desired social and economic development goals for the people in the Pacific islands region. PIDP conducts specific research and training activities based on the issues and problems identified and prioritized by the Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders and its Standing Committee. The Standing Committee, composed of eleven island leaders, reviews PIDP's research and training projects annually to ensure that they respond to the issues and challenges raised at each Pacific Islands Conference. This unique process ensures that PIDP's research and training programs are relevant and responsive to the needs of the Pacific island countries.
