The Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) Secretariat successfully conducted a three-day Economic Workshop in Ambo, Tarawa, from 21–23 April 2026.

Participants included representatives from various divisions of the Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources (MFOR), alongside officials from other relevant government agencies.

The primary objective of the workshop was to share essential tools currently used in tuna fisheries for economic analysis, support policy decision-making, and promote sustainable fisheries management and development in Kiribati. The training provided valuable skills and information that senior fisheries officials can apply within their respective departments.

On behalf of the Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources, the Oceanic Fisheries Division (OFD) extended its sincere appreciation to the FFA Secretariat for its ongoing support and capacity development to its membership.
