CO-Suva has an ongoing SSTC project focusing on labour migration and people-centered activities. This project also funds the development of training module for SIDS Young Leader on climate change and employment issues. CO-Suva also organized an international webinar in December 2020 on Social protection with participation of Pacific and Caribbean academic institutions. However, the opportunities regarding the cooperation on LLR is yet to be explored.

title:

Tapping into existing sub-regional resources through south-south cooperation to enhance connectivity and peer learning among the member states. The Pacific sub-region is not homogeneous; some countries are better resourced and organized, more skilled and trained than others. However, there still exists a great deal of common ground when it comes to LLR. The demand and willingness for exchange and learning within the region is strong. Some regional champions have emerged as a result of the ILO’s TA in the past decade. Some executives of the constituents have served in their constituencies for a long time, and gained extensive experience. This is particularly the case for the employers’ organizations. Under their leadership, good materials and practices related to LLR were developed for their own countries. These are great resources for the sub-region as they can contextualize these materials and practices in other PICs and provide tailored and timely assistance to their neighbouring countries. CO-Suva is in the best position to bring about South-South cooperation, given its thorough understanding of the sub-region as a whole and its in-depth knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of each member state. Arrangements that can be made include regional workshops, site visits, and secondment arrangements. Given that most countries speak English, the language barrier for communication is low.
