The Pacific-European Union Marine Partnership (PEUMP) programme applies a gender, social inclusion lens and human rights-based approach across all of its programming. In response to SDG 10, PEUMP’s implementing partners are trained to act sensitively, identify opportunities to tackle poverty reduction, ensure an inclusive and fair share of benefits that leave no one behind, while supporting countries on the ground to strengthen the social dimension of their work.
Suva, Fiji (17 February, 2020) – A training workshop to raise awareness of the obstacles women and men face in the commercial fishing industry, the impact of foreign offshore fishing operations on Pacific people’s lives and the impact on human rights was recently held in Honiara, Solomon Islands.
Suva, Fiji. July 2, 2020 – Microplastics (MPs) are prevalent in the waters of Fiji and through seafood consumed, they pose a risk to human health and to Mother Earth, a Pacific-European Union Marine Partnership (PEUMP) Programme funded Master of Science scholarship recipient at the University of the South Pacific, Andrew Paris, has found.
MP’s are tiny pieces of invisible plastic floating in the Pacific Ocean and are less than 5mm in size.
