The Foundation of the Peoples of the South Pacific International (FSPI) is a network of South Pacific island non-governmental organisations and overseas affiliates working in partnership across the South Pacific and involved in community-based activities that also focus on youth.FSPI's Youth and Mental Health Project addresses issues related to youth and sustainable livelihoods. Read more here.
FSPI is also implementing the Mainstreaming of Rural Development Innovations (MORDI) Programme which could complement much of the work of SPC and other organisations striving to improve youth livelihoods. The MORDI Programme will look at ways to support innovative work (e.g. niche product development and new crop development: coconut oil, market flowers, off-season pineapple etc) where knowledge and infrastructure already exist in communities. In addition, the Programme will work to build the capacity of community members to engage effectively with government and service providers – to access sources of funding, information and support – to turn these rural innovations into sources of sustainable income. We would love to hear from anyone involved in the MORDI programme regarding any such activities that particularly focus on, or involve youth.
