The pre-project was designed to contribute to the development
of a sustainable forest industry sector as the development of the forestry sector
has been constrained by the inefficient and ineffective forest industries in
Fiji. The specific objectives of this pre-project were: (i) to obtain a clear
overview of the training gaps and needs and the opportunities for the forest
industry sector in Fiji and to recommend training strategies to satisfy these
needs; and (ii) to formulate a full project proposal on the implementation of
the recommended training strategies.
