The workshop is organised under the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), Pacific Agriculture Scholarships and Support (PASS) program to design the next phase of the program. With ACIAR, USP, and FNU demonstrating growing capability, the next PASS design offers a chance to strengthen a three-way partnership. It will enhance local leadership, support the universities’ expanding management roles, and better align with shared priorities, including Australia’s International Development Policy. Participants will engage in group discussions focusing on the development of the core components of the program design.
