Abstract
The investment approvals reform program
Fiji started in September 2004 for an initial 12 month
period in association with the Ministry of Commerce,
Business Development and Investment (MCBDI) and with the
support of the Ministry of Finance and National Planning
(MFNP). Details on how the program was developed and its
stages are set out in the Appendix. The program incorporates
the provision of hands-on, practical assistance to the 18
government agencies involved in implementing reforms to
their investment approval procedures. The key objectives are
to: Facilitate improved efficiencies within the relevant
government agencies through a change management process that
will result in a sustainable and long term improvement in
investment approval processing procedures; provide
specialist advice and assistance to government agencies
identified as having priority in reforming/streamlining
their approval procedures; establish workable procedures for
effective coordination between the various government
agencies involved in investment approvals, ensure that each
government agency can effectively monitor their performance
through self-assessment processes and that procedures are in
place to rectify shortcomings in achieving realistic targets
on a sustainable basis and set in place constructive
dialogue between government and the private sector to ensure
that the reform process in maintained and expanded to a
mutually agreed agenda.
