The Samoa Public Service Commission will lead the first ‘Share Learn Connect’ session for 2026 by sharing the background, analysis and development process that informed its Gift Giving Policy.
Gift giving is a deeply rooted cultural practice across the Pacific – one that can strengthen relationships, respect and connection. At Fono 2025, Pacific leaders raised the importance of clear gift giving policies to maintain the balance between this important cultural practice while demonstrating integrity and ethical conduct within their public services.
This Public Service Fale session is open to all Pacific public servants, especially policy leaders and those in Human Resources. This session supports the Fale’s shared goal of strengthening ethical leadership and promoting consistent standards within public services across the region.
Share Learn Connect events provide the opportunity for Pacific public service colleagues to deepen understanding, strengthen capability and connect through shared learning.
