Everybody agrees that we are living through unprecedented times. The nature and scale of the crisis which the COVID-19pandemic has led to is unparalleled. In such a scenario, solutions are unlikely to come from past experiences or best practices. The biggest source of strength now is the partnerships we have built over the years. The situation at hand calls for stakeholders to come together, work side by side and support each other. This is precisely what one of the Empowered Groups created by the government for comprehensive action and integrated response to contain the pandemic has been doing since it was formed.

Everybody agrees that we are living through unprecedented times. The nature and scale of the crisis that the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic has unfolded is unparalleled. In such a scenario, solutions are unlikely to come from past experiences or best practices. The biggest source of strength now is the partnerships we have built over the years. The situation at hand calls for stakeholders to come together, work side by side, channelise efforts, and support each other. This, precisely, is what one of the empowered groups (EG) created by the government for comprehensive action and integrated response to contain the pandemic has been doing since it was formed at the end of March.

Government focus on food security during recovery
By Felix Chaudhary
SUVA, Fiji (Fiji Times, April 11, 2012) – The agriculture and livestock sectors in Fiji have been severely hit by the March 30 floods raking up a total damage bill of FJ$17.4 million [US$9.7 million].
Agriculture permanent secretary Colonel Mason Smith said a rehabilitation program had been implemented to address food security and the export market with 40,000 seedlings being produced on a four-week basis for distribution to farms across the Western and Central divisions.
"The west bore the brunt of flood damage with Ba, Nadroga, Navosa and Ra recording damage of FJ$16.2 million [US$9 million] to the agriculture and livestock industries," Col. Smith said.
