| To
ensure that the project was managed and
operated smoothly, three procedures were
established: monitoring and evaluation system,
regular meeting system and publicity.

Establishment of
Monitoring and Evaluation system
The long-term experts and
USP counterparts were primarily responsible
for the planning of their annual activities
under their respective components and monitoring
their progress. A record of activity progress
and planning for the ensuing year is documented
and formally reported to the Joint Coordinating
Committee (JCC).
Joint Coordinating
Committee (JCC)
The Joint Coordinating Committee
was established as the authorizing committee
for decision-making in Fiji. It met annually
to monitor progress and appraise yearly
plans. JCC members included Japanese and
USP representatives, and key stakeholders
from the Fiji Government.
Operations Committee
(OC)
The Operations Committee
comprised of the JICA experts and USP counterparts
who met on a quarterly basis to review and
exchange information on current progress.
Publicity
The publicity of activities/outputs
of the project were conducted to generate
awareness and to maximise benefits for local
communities of Pacific Island countries
and taxpayers in Japan
Under the management
of the project, there have been three schemes
for its implementation:
Dispatch of Experts
USP staff experienced a
total of thirty-six visits by short-term
experts from Japan for the purpose of technology
transfer in the last three years of the
project.
Counterpart training
in Japan
Another important part of
the scheme was sending 10 USP counterparts
to Japan for short and long-term training
across all components.
