The document provides a summary of the Ministry’s performance and highlights various achievements of the past year ending December 31, 2015.

We also report on our progress on commitments made towards the holistic development of Fijian youths.

Youth and sports development remain the Ministry’s priorities to provide tangible results that will enhance strategic nation building.
The Ministry also in the past year has strengthened its implementation of the Integrated Rural Development Framework [IRDF] to maximise youth development; fully utilising available Government resources through cooperative partnership with other Government agencies and other stakeholders.

We also acknowledge the contribution of our foreign partners and their continuing support specifically UNDP, UNFPA and Peace Corps.
We continuously seek ways to strengthen our regional and international relations to exchange ideas and skills in order to harness youth and sports development in Fiji.

It is therefore my pleasure to submit to you the 2015 Annual Report of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
Yours sincerely ALISON BURCHELL Permanent Secretary ANNUAL REPORT 5 Table of Contents PERMANENT SECRETARY’S STATEMENT SECTION 1 ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE SECTION 2 HIGHLIGHTS OF 2015 OUTCOME 6: PUBLIC SECTOR REFORM OUTCOME 31: GENDER EQUALITY AND WOMEN IN DEVELOPMENT OUTCOME 32: CHILDREN AND YOUTH OUTCOME 36: SPORTS DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS AND REFURBISHMENT AT YOUTH TRAINING CENTERS [CAPITAL PROJECTS 2015] SECTION 3: HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ANNEX 1 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURE APPROPRIATION STATEMENT STATEMENT OF LOSSES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNEX 2 STAFF OVERSEAS AND LOCAL TRAINING - 2015 6 7 15 16 17 18 25 26 27 35 35 37 39 40 41 42 45 45 6 MINISTRY OF YOUTH & SPORTS PERMANENT SECRETARY’S STATEMENT I acknowledge the leadership of the former Permanent Secretary, Mr Josefa Sania for setting a high benchmark and record achievement for the Ministry in 2015.
The Ministry hit a 98.6 per cent implementation rate at 4th quarter of 2015; as confirmed by the Implementation and Coordinating Office of the Office of the Prime Minister.

This achievement speaks volumes about the commitment of the Ministry and our staff to fulfil our role as the leading agent for providing targeted youth and sports development programs and activities.

The year’s major highlight was the strengthening of our institutions – the five training centres in Kadavu, Vanua Levu and Sigatoka.
These youth training centres have received major extensions and renovations to provide a conducive and up-to-date learning environment that meets 21st century standards.

The Ministry remains committed to ensure our youth is provided with the best learning environment that prepares them well for the future.

The Ministry fulfilled its multi-skills and empowerment training targets as planned for rural and maritime areas meeting Government’s commitment to rural development.
The Ministry, through its sports development program in 2015, handed over several playing fields and supported national teams’ participation at most international events – in addition to ongoing rural sports awareness and training by the Fiji National Sports Commission.

Again this shows our commitment to the national agenda.

The Ministry continues to establish and strengthen longstanding foreign relations.
With several Memoranda of Understanding being pursued; Fijian youth, sportsmen and women will continue to be direct beneficiaries of further international partnerships, assistance and diplomacy.

The 2015 Annual Report attempts comprehensively to provide Government and all our stakeholders an overview of the Ministry’s achievement against our annual targets.
The Ministry acknowledges the support provided by donors and all its stakeholders, staff, youth workers and co-ordinators and youth practitioners towards the successful implementation of the 2015 financial year.

The Ministry will continue to strengthen our partnership to ensure effective youth and sports development for all Fijians.

We will continue to meet the priorities set by Government to serve the needs of the country.
