PACIFIC TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE MECHANISM PHASE 2

The Pacific Technical Assistance Mechanism (PACTAM) Phase 2 provides technical assistance across multiple sectors and multiple countries in the Pacific. Following a review of PACTAM in 2011 it was recommended that the mechanism should be redesigned. PACTAM 2 will support stronger emphasis on the role of partner governments in adviser recruitment and performance management, and identify ways to build partner capacity in these areas. PACTAM 2 will align with program partner strategies and link directly to priority outcomes. The total value of this investment is approximately $5 million over 6 years, starting 2014-15.
