Trust in government in the Pacific Islands

This chapter explores trust and governance issues that were identified at two Regional Forums on Reinventing Government in the Pacific Islands, convened in October 2004 in Samoa (UNDESA 2004) and February 2006 in Fiji (UNDESA 2006). Participants included ministers, senior government officials, members of parliament, and civil society representatives, and members from academia within Pacific Island universities. Points raised at these two meetings were then further analyzed within the Workshop on Promoting Trust in Government, held in January 2008 in Hawai’i (UNDESA 2008), alongside results from the Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia sub-regions.
