Pleasure to co-author this article with @UniSouthPacific colleague Seone. We advocate for a common Pacific passport to ease regional travel & give real meaning to often-cited ideals like regional integration, Vuvale, Pacific solidarity & the Blue Pacific narrative.
“Visa-free travel could be the precursor to a Pacific Citizen Passport — a bold step toward enhancing regional mobility, economic integration and cultural exchange,” say Seone Lolesio and @ShailendraBSing from USP.

My latest blog with @devpolicy on a proposed #Vanuatu electoral reform with #citizenship is at its core. I suggest a redirection to strengthen #womeninpolitics and regulation of political finance👇🏽

“The published reasons for restricting political candidacy to indigenous & 3rd gen naturalised citizens do not make sense,” says @AnnaNaupa. “A vibrant sense of national identity & cultural representation highlight that these things are not under threat.”

On @DevPolicy, Robin Hill argues that Trump’s policies on USAID are part of a wider OECD retreat from overseas aid and climate finance (let us not forget that Australia, NZ, Canada and UK have all already destroyed their independent development agency!)
