Tracking Progress: MFOR Divisions Reviewed at Mid-Year Assessment

Visions and activities cannot be simply achieved by setting them. There must be systematic tracking of progress, measurement of performances against the set goals/targets and evaluate the challenges and ways to improve the implementation approaches. This is the primary objective of the 2025 MFOR Mid-year Performance Assessment for all Divisions which was conducted on Wednesday, 27th August 2025, at their Tobwaan Marawa maneaba, Tanaea. Six Divisions of the MFOR were assessed based on their agreed key flagship activities called Divisional Highlights for 2025. Each division were also given the opportunity to share their challenges, how they foster team building and their other key initiatives. The judges for this year mid-year assessment are the Honourable Tauanei Marea, Chair of Business Committee of Parliament and the MP from Nikunau and the Honourable Tarakabu Tofinga, Chair of the Public Account Committee and the MP from Tabiteuea North. Overall, most Divisions are performing very well and are on track with their progress. There are also constructive comments coming from the judges that will be taken as improvements in the second half of the year. The Honourable Minister Ribanataake Tiwau, in his opening remarks encouraged all MFOR staff to adopt the new mode of working through these inspiring quotes “Put others first before yourself” and “Stop letting other people tell you what to do but Just do it”. The MFOR acknowledged all sponsors to this event and most importantly our honourable judges for making this year’s assessment event a great success.
