Key Sectors - Church
In every discussion on leadership in the Pacific, the Church is very quickly raised as an institution that people look to for leadership on a wide range of issues. PLP was keen to engage with Churches on leadership, but faced some significant challenges in doing so. Historically, government donors have had very little engagement with Church in the Pacific. There is very little mutual understanding between Churches and bilateral donors in terms of goals and objectives, ways of doing business, and different ways of developing programs together. It usually follows that where there is a lack of mutual understanding, there is also a lack of trust. PLP has made significant progress in addressing these long standing issues through investing in Church leadership as one of its key sectors.
