The AOTN report by the WFP-led Pacific ETC highlights key skill gaps in emergency telecommunications across Pacific Island Countries and Territories. It identifies a strong need for practical, flexible training to build foundational, technical, and coordination competencies. The report recommends creating a ‘Pacific Waves Training Alliance’ to deliver a comprehensive, scalable training curriculum, including a ‘Train-the-Trainer’ module and alignment with global standards. This initiative aims to enhance disaster preparedness, improve coordinated emergency response, and build long-term regional resilience to climate shocks and geohazards through strengthened local and national capacities.
