The Community Building Forum is one of the pillars of PECC's work program targeting wider issues for economic development and some of the key sectors.  It addresses some the important linkages and takes a particular focus on developing public-private partnerships.  The Forum takes a building block approach to this objective from three main interrelated foundations: infrastructure; technology and knowledge based human capacity; and, an effective institutional and regulatory environment. These building blocks are a pre-requisite to encouraging the development of a viable business environment. 

The Coordinator for the Community Building Forum is Professor Christopher Findlay.

 

 

 
Work Program for 2004 - 2005

At the PECC Standing Committee Meeting held in Beijing, China, in April 2004, the coordinator for the Community Building Forum, Professor Christopher Findlay, announced the work program of the forum for the 2004-2005 cycle.

Adopting an integrated approach to economic development, the work program will focus on the understanding of the function, design and impact of partnerships between government and the business sector. Core activities of the Forum will identify and promote opportunities for partnerships and may also facilitate their implementation. 

The Forum current activities include projects and networks on community integration in mining, eco-tourism and air transport in the Pacific, energy, SMEs and PECC’s review of the e-APEC Strategies . As the forum develops it will continue themes on infrastructure, knowledge and human resources and institutional and regulatory issues.

The current work program is designed to report to the PECC General Meeting to be held in Korea in November 2005.  A mid-term milestone for the Forum is a meeting to be held in Sydney in December 2004, which will examine a general framework, as well as applications, on issues in partnership design and evaluation.
