Leading Today. Inspiring Tomorrow.
From 19-23 October 2026, the Ministry of Civil Service proudly hosted the Women in Public Service Leadership Program (Senior Cohort) at the Fiji Learning Institute for Public Service (FLIPS), Nasese, bringing together senior women Civil Servants and ChangeMakers from across the Fiji Public Service.
The programme was officially opened by the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Civil Service, Mr. Pita Tagicakirewa, who reaffirmed the important role of women leaders in driving innovation, strengthening institutions, and advancing a high-performing and future-ready Civil Service.
As the first component of the Fiji Public Service Leadership Initiative, the programme focuses on strengthening executive judgement, strategic influence, leadership presence, and public service stewardship, equipping participants with the skills and confidence to lead positive change across government.
Delivered in partnership with Australia Awards Fiji, the Australia-Fiji Governance Partnership, the Fiji Program Support Platform (FPSP), and Griffith University, the initiative supports women leaders at the Emerging, Middle, and Senior Leadership levels, creating pathways for growth, mentorship, and leadership excellence throughout the Fiji Civil Service.
Facilitated by Professor Susan Harris Rimmer and Associate Professor Amie Shaw of Griffith University, the Senior Cohort has provided a valuable platform for learning, reflection, collaboration, and professional exchange.
As participants return to their respective ministries and agencies, they do so better equipped to lead with confidence, purpose, and impact, contributing to a stronger, more inclusive, and future-ready Fiji Civil Service.
