The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), in collaboration with the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), the South Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO), the Pacific Islands Private Sector Organisation (PIPSO) and the University of the South Pacific (USP) is hosting the Pacific Community Agritourism Week from 29th June to 3rd July 2015 in Nadi, Fiji to promote opportunities for Pacific Agrifood sector in tourism-related markets.

The objective is to strengthen the link between the two important sectors – agriculture and tourism – and promote trade for poverty alleviation in Pacific communities. The major activities for the week include a Pacific regional farmer technical exchange and networking with Caribbean counterparts to share knowledge and experiences working with the tourism sector; a niche agrifood display of value-added products, and technical exchange and learning forums aimed at building the capacity of farmers, chefs, policy makers and the private sector on tourist-related markets.

This event is jointly funded through CTA and the the Intra-ACP EU-funded Pacific Agricultural Policy Project (PAPP). The week will also coincide with a six-monthly meeting of the PAPP Steering Committee consisting representatives of 14 Pacific ACP countries and Timor-Leste.

Social reporting for the Pacific Community Agritourism Week

CTA in collaboration with SPC is supporting a team of young social reporters to attend and report on the event throughout the week. The objective of social media reporters is to raise awareness on the event, engage on-site participants and reach out to a wider audience remotely.


The social reporting team is composed of 2 sub-teams; on-site social reporters and online social reporters.

On-site social reporters

8 young social reporters from the Pacific will be selected to participate in the Pacific Community Agritourism week, attend a two-day training workshop on the use of digital media for social reporting and provide social media coverage during the week. The training workshop will be from 27th to 28th June. All CTA and SPC funded social media reporters will be given an opportunity to gain hands-on experience and training on the use of social media.

At the end of the event, the social reporters will be awarded a certificate. Among the 8 on-site reporters, 5 will be from the Pacific Region and 3 will be from Fiji.

Online social reporters

Other interested social media enthusiasts who are not from the Pacific, but interested to report on the event can join the larger social reporting team that will participate and contribute remotely (online) to the outreach of the event.

Social reporting for the Pacific Community Agritourism Week is a voluntary task. However, CTA and SPC will be covering the cost of travel, accommodation, food and daily subsistence allowances for the 8 selected on-site social reporters. This opportunity forms part of both CTA’s and SPC’s strategy to support the youth by involving them in its activities and building their capacity.
