leadership training

The workshop provided the participants the knowledge and skills to deliver leadership training.

It is part of the New Zealand-funded Vanuatu Police Force Leadership framework – Rod blong Waria Lidaship.

Prior to this course, the officers had completed a leadership course – Lidim Yu Wan which was focused on self-leadership.

“You are now the guardians – or in te reo Māori, the Kaitiaki of the framework. You must care for it, and improve it so future generations can benefit from it,” said Luke Gaskin, First Secretary to the NZ High Commission to the graduates.

Digicel Regional Chief Executive Officer, Colin Stone, made the announcement at the ASPIRE launch in Suva Friday. “We received a very strong response to the programme from staff across the Pacific.  The finalists were selected based on the quality and comprehensiveness of their individual ASPIRE applications in conjunction with a rigorous selection process.  20 Pacific based staff selected Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and Nauru will be the initial participants in this inaugural twelve month program. This is complemented by a further 30 future leaders from the Digicel business in PNG.”

Over 20 Chiefs participated in an engaging one day workshop at Piliura Village on the island of Pele on the 14th of August.

With the ever increasing flow of social changes, traditional structures on the two islands are facing a new trend of challenges. Made up of over 15 villages, both islands are experiencing rapid growth in numbers. Similarly, there is an increasing number of people from the two islands who are now studying abroad and are bringing in new knowledge.
