The World Bank Group facilitated the Border Risk Management and Digital Information workshop in New Zealand, from 2-6 December 2019, where Pacific Biosecurity and Customs representatives from five Pacific Island countries were provided briefings, demonstrations, and initial training on Risk Compliance and developing a risk management and targeting regime. In 2023, the World Bank Group has undertaken Risk Management workshops with BAF, MoH, and FRCS to assist the integration of BAF risk management process within ASYCUDA for improved targeting. BAF is currently completing an analysis of all current risk commodities to finalise an initial risk regime.The World Bank Group is assisting Fijian border agencies to analyse current capabilities, implement an effective risk management system based on a common methodology, and develop an overall agency risk management framework. This will include promoting a regional approach to managing risk, and initial regional planning was undertaken in Sydney in December 2022. BAF is currently working with FRCS to develop joint risk profiles and reduce the incidence of physical inspections for low-risk consignments. Areas of assistance required: Fiji requires assistance to develop an effective risk-based targeting system and training of officials from all border agencies to enable them to participate in an integrated risk-based approach. This may include the development of a joint targeting centre for all border-related profiling, vessel/packaging, and commodity screening. |
