4A
Reinforce, do not replace, national and local systems

Individual Commitment

  • What led your organization to make the commitment?

    National public policy processes should be inclusive and must be a 'whole of nation' approach. KANGO wishes to improve this through the Kiribati State-NSAs Engagement Process (KSNEP) which basically establishes a common approach to providing information to affected people and collecting, aggregating and analysing feedback from communities to influence decision-making processes at strategic and operational levels. KANGO wants to change the status quo to include CSOs and Private Sector (Non-State Actors - NSA) to engage and participate in the national (including regional and global) public processes; this achieves the 'whole-of-nation' approach.

  • Achievements at a glance

    1. KANGO had disseminated and invited relevant key NSA stakeholders to support the KSNEP. The stakeholders are now aware of the KSNEP.
    2. KANGO Board had briefed the President of Kiribati, HE President Taneti Maamau, on the KSNEP during a courtesy visit to the president on 24 November 2016.
    3. KANGO submitted its proposal to the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) NSA Grant to support the implementation of the KSNEP. We received a positive response in the first (proposal document) screening process; the assessors will be visiting Tarawa this or next month for the second screening process.

  • How is your organization assessing progress

    KANGO is progressing well with its commitments. This is because all relevant NSA stakeholders are aware of the KSNEP; the president of Kiribati is also aware of it; and there is a potential opportunity for the KSNEP to be fully implemented if the PIFS's NSA Grant approves our proposal.

  • Challenges faced in implementation

    KANGO's greatest fear is the 'non-supportive attitude' from key NSA stakeholders. This will hugely and adversely affect the full implementation of the KSNEP.

  • Next step to advance implementation in 2017

    1. To follow up on the dissemination/circulation of the KSNEP to key NSA stakeholders for their comments/inputs, and more importantly their support.
    2. To fully implement (monitor, evaluate) and report on the KSNEP if and once the PIFS NSA Grant agrees to fund the KSNEP project.
