The Public Service Fale recently visited Palau to further work on two important projects where the Fale is supporting Palau’s public service.

The first of these is the development of orientation modules for new public servants. It was also an opportunity for advance planning for Fono 2026: Pacific Public Service Leaders’ Conference, which will be hosted by the Government of Palau from 9–13 November 2026.

Working face-to-face allowed for in-depth discussions, and further insights into the priorities and needs for both projects while building relationships that will help to support the final development phases.

We look forward to launching these modules later in the year and supporting Palau in hosting Fono 2026!
