Empowering Environmental Officers through Compliance Training Programs in Vanuatu

In its ongoing efforts to strengthen environmental governance and protection in the Pacific region, ACFEC has designed and delivered contextualized training programs for international clients. The organization’s primary objective is to assist in developing and enhancing organizational and individual investigative capacity.

Contextualized Training Programs

ACFEC provides practical training that empowers individuals and institutions to address regulatory challenges. For instance, the company partnered with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Oceania to deliver training to government officials from Vanuatu, Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands.

Effective Educational Design

ACFEC’s educational design approach is centered on a methodology that harnesses validated workplace simulation scenarios. This allows participants to explore the provisions of relevant laws and practice skills required to plan and conduct environmental investigations. The courses are competency-based and contextualized to client settings, with a focus on improving skills and maximizing workplace performance.

Client Feedback

The company has received positive feedback from clients who have participated in its training programs. “This training is recommended for senior management,” said one participant, while another noted that the course was “very challenging” but ultimately helpful in understanding investigation procedures.

Recognition and Accolades

The training programs have been praised for their relevance to real-world issues and their ability to enhance investigative skills. Rudolf Hahn, FAO Chief Technical Adviser (CTA), Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Training, commended ACFEC on delivering a training program that was “exceptionally well” received by participants and aligned with the needs of environmental officers.
