| Summary: | 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. |
