🏛️ Director-General's Desk | FFA wraps World Bank mission with high-level visit

FFA today welcomed the World Bank Director of Strategy and Operations for the East Asia and Pacific Region, Elisabeth Huyben, to its Headquarters in Honiara.

The visit marked the conclusion of a week-long World Bank mission reviewing FFA's implementation progress under the Pacific Islands Regional Oceanscape Program – Second Phase for Economic Resilience (PROPER).

Through PROPER, FFA has received grant financing of up to US$9 million from the World Bank for a five-year project (2023–2028) aimed at strengthening regional capacity for sustainable management and development of oceanic fisheries in the Pacific.
