The following week, Fiji experienced its first case and the nation went into lockdown.

Immediate response The immediate consequences included asking our staff to work from home; the cancellation of sports development programs for the well-being of staff and communities; the reduction of funding for hosting of international events, which were cancelled or postponed indefinitely; the closing of gyms, and training programs on hold, with athletes following their individual training programs.
I am pleased to report that as we faced the uncertainties of the changing sporting landscape unfolding before us, we were able to meet these challenges by being adaptive, proactive, and by working collaboratively with stakeholders across all relevant sectors.

Staff worked from home and developed reports that addressed gaps identified during training.
This produced excellent material on topics such as the Effect of Internal Politics on Sports, and Community Challenges faced by Women Participating in Sports.

These reports are being incorporated into the development of our new programs.
Safe Sports Fiji Guidelines The Sports Commission advised all National Sporting Organizations of the necessity to have their sport certified under the Safe Sports Fiji Guidelines, developed by the Commission and accepted globally, to show that Fiji’s sports people were working within the guidelines of their own sport and adhering to the necessary restrictions.
The guidelines were formulated by a committee established for this purpose, with professional representation from the medical and physiotherapy, legal, athletic and sporting sectors.

The guidelines include 50 per cent attendance in stadiums, social distancing, contact tracing, hygiene practices such as hand washing and the use of hand sanitizers.

These guidelines are still in place.


The first response to the certification requirement was substantial, with 11 sporting associations out of 45 being certified within the first three weeks, with rugby, football and rugby league amongst the first to start playing again.

This was one of our most important achievements towards the second half of the fiscal year; working within the required restrictions but still finding a way to safely facilitate sports.
Positive outcomes In challenging times, there are always the positive and unexpected outcomes.

We have initiated new and more economically efficient practices, such as using Zoom for in-house training, so training can be conducted weekly or monthly, rather than every two or three months.

Many sporting organizations have followed this example and are also running their training programs on-line.
I am pleased to present the Fiji National Sports Commission Annual Report for the August 2019 – July 2020 Financial Year, which has been possibly one of the most difficult years we have faced; the year of the pandemic, the year of COVID–19.

While the first quarter of the period under review began with the usual focus on our core activities of developing sports programs for the upcoming year, we had to rethink some of our strategies with the measles outbreak that began in the first week of November 2019.
This directly impacted the facilitation of programs, especially activities for children, planned to take place in the vicinity of affected villages and communities.

With two sports teams being diagnosed with measles, regrettably our National Football Team was quarantined in New Caledonia and the Tongan Women’s team attending the Oceania Rugby event was quarantined in Nadi.

We very quickly learnt the cost and logistics involved in athletes being quarantined and this was pre-Covid.
Strengthened relationship The close cross-sectoral professional relationship that we have always enjoyed with the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MoH&MS) was strengthened during this time.

As the Ministry worked tirelessly to contain and halt the measles outbreak, the Commission ensured that proper protocols were in place and being adhered to, in order to protect the health and well-being of our staff, the National Sporting Organizations (NSOs) and, most importantly, the people of Fiji.
As we entered the 2020 calendar year, we became aware of reports that a new strain of coronavirus, COVID–19 had broken out in Wuhan, China.

The Sports Commission responded by quickly formulating and initiating risk management policies, as well as establishing plans for recovery into the future.
The information about the deadly and fast–spreading virus coincided with our annual conference, held on 7th March, 2020, to which we 1 FIJI NATIONAL SPORTS COMMISSIONAUGUST 2019 - JULY 2020 ANNUAL REPORT The adverse circumstances have made us closer with our international neighbors.

As one of the first countries in the region to have Safe Sport Guidelines in place, we have been able to provide a leading example of what was required.
The sporting community has become closer as a common threat has united us all.

COVID–19 has meant that what we may have lost at the elite level of sport, we are making gains at the developmental level.

Our increased focus on more communal sporting events is expected to lead to a new group of talented athletes being identified.

Of course, as we have restarted community programs, there are new protocols in place that must be observed.
At all of our programs, we provide hand sanitizers, water, and temperature gauges, as all attendees must have their temperature taken.

Social distancing and contact tracing are prerequisites for attending all programs.

Strategic Plan 2019-2023 We also responded to the changes imposed by the pandemic by reviewing the FNSC 2019-2023 Strategic Plan, with the Commission’s Four Pillars remaining unchanged.
The Four Pillars - Health & Active Nation, Sporting Nation, Enabling Environment, and Enriching Nation - are aligned with the goals of the Government’s National Development Plan and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Acknowledgements I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Minister of Youth & Sports, and our line Ministry, as well as the Ministry of Economy for their continued support.
It is customary to congratulate Government for their funding allocations in support of our work with developing sports and athletes across all abilities and age groups.

This financial year, we are thanking Government and supporting the country during this pandemic by returning funding, as we are not able to use it for the allocated purposes.
I would like to acknowledge the ongoing support of my Board of Directors, whose contribution has been invaluable, particularly through these most challenging of times.

We look forward to continuing to work with our stakeholders as we strive to build a healthy, dynamic sporting nation that promotes physical activity for all age groups, for all abilities, from the elite athlete to the novice.

I wish to thank the staff of the Sports Commission.
Your commitment and hard work has been exemplary, despite the unusual and testing circumstances we have faced.
