BackThe Pacific Ombudsman Alliance issued its latest Newsletter in June 2013. This edition includes reports on the POA’s activities in Kiribati and the Marshall Islands, as well as visits to Australia by the Cook Islands and Vanuatu Ombudsmen.
The POA newsletter informs about its current project in supporting a short-term placement in the Kiribati Public Service Office, to provide technical advice and training in complaint handling as well as a one-week tour carried out by the Cook Islands Ombudsman and the Vanuatu Ombudsman in Australia in late May, which was hosted by the Commonwealth and New South Wales Ombudsman offices in Australia.
Furthermore the newsletter reports that the Government of Samoa introduced the Ombudsman Bill 2013 in March, to give the Office of the Ombudsman of Samoa the additional role of Human Rights Commission.
