News from Pacific Island Nations

Pacific Island Report

Five days a week, the East-West Center's Pacific Island Development Program (PIDP) compiles a range of news items from around the Pacific islands region and posts the top 20 stories on the Internet as the Pacific Islands Report. Launched in collaboration with the Center for Pacific Islands Studies at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa in July 1997, this resource has become one of the most widely used Internet news sites on the Pacific. It is viewed daily by government representatives, scholars, and the general public from around the world who enjoy a comprehensive summary of political events, economic developments, and social issues that are defining the Pacific islands in the twenty-first century. In addition, the Pacific Island Report provides human interest stories, news releases from regional organizations and governmental bodies, special editorial features, and links to other Pacific islands news and information sites.

Rapid Assessment Tool for SRH and HIV Links

The objective of this tool is to assess HIV and SRH links at the policy, systems and service-delivery levels.
