Funded by the European Union, the Pacific Regional Integration Support (PRISE) Programme supports Pacific Island States to trade more, by increasing their capacity to access and benefit from international markets.
The PRISE programme aims to promote the Pacific States of the African, Caribbean, and Pacific Group (PACPs) to the global export market. It is focused on strengthening regional economic integration towards sustainable economic development and improved livelihoods in the region.
The PRISE programme's specific objectives are two-fold:
-
to increase intra-regional and international trade, and
-
to increase the private sector’s participation in economic integration
The PRISE Programme, worth 37 million euros, is implemented under four separate contribution agreements signed with the the respective lead implementing partners.
-
Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) - Strengthening Pacific Intra-Regional and International Trade (SPIRIT) project.
-
Pacific Community (SPC) - Safe Agriculture Trade Facilitation through Economic Integration in the Pacific (SAFE Pacific) project.
-
United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) - Improving Pacific Islands Customs and Trade (IMPACT) project.
-
