Kumntwana wesikole waseSamoa ohlezi ekilasini elishisayo, noma owesifazane ongumdobi waseFiji ohamba olwandle olukhuphukayo, ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu akuyona ingozi engaqondakali; kushesha futhi kuyimfihlo kakhulu. Kodwa-ke kaningi, isayensi eyenzelwe ukuphendula kulezi zimo iye yazishaya indiva okuhlangenwe nakho okuphilayo kwale miphakathi yasePacific. Lokhu sekuqala ukushintsha.
Njengoba kumenyezelwe namuhla, abamukeli bokuqala beTupu Pacific Research Grant bahlanganisa ubudlelwano obusha obuyisithupha bocwaningo obubeka ubuholi, ulwazi, kanye nezinto eziza kuqala ePacific enhliziyweni yesenzo sokushintsha kwesimo sezulu esifundeni.
Ixhaswe yi-International Science Council Regional Focal Point for Asia and the Pacific (ISC RFP-AP) ngokusekelwa yi-Australian Government of Industry, Science and Resources, lezi zibonelelo zihlanganisa ukuqapha ama-coral reef, amabhizinisi abesifazane, impilo yokushisa kwezingane, amandla ahlanzekile, umnotho ojikelezayo, kanye nokuphepha kwamanzi. I-Pacific Islands Universities Regional Network (PIURN) yayibambisene kakhulu kulesi sinyathelo.
"IPacific isesigabeni sokuqala sokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, futhi lolu hlelo luqinisekisa ukuthi isayensi ephendula kuleyo nkinga iholwa abacwaningi basePacific kanye nokuqonda kwabo okujulile ngezinselelo esibhekene nazo,"
kusho uRonit Prawer, uMqondisi we-ISC Regional Focal Point for Asia and the Pacific.
"Kuphinde kubonise amandla okubambisana kwesifunda. Ngokusebenza ndawonye emazweni, ezikhungweni nasezifundweni, singasekela ucwaningo oluqhutshwa endaweni kanye nolubalulekile emhlabeni jikelele. Laba bantu bokuqala abathole izibonelelo zeTupu bamele umsebenzi omusha, oqhutshwa ngumphakathi ohlose ukubhekana nalezi zinselele kusukela phansi. Asikwazi ukuziqhenya ngokusekela la maqembu."
UCatherine Ris, uMongameli weNyuvesi yaseNew Caledonia kanye noSihlalo weKomidi Lokukhetha, uthe iKomidi libhekene nomsebenzi onzima kodwa amaphrojekthi akhethwe ekugcineni aqukethe ubudlelwano obuqinile obubhekana nezinto eziza kuqala esifundeni.
“Ngenxa ye-ISC, uhlelo lwe-Tupu Pacific Research Grants luvumele ukuvela kwenani elikhulu lamaphrojekthi amaningi avela ekubambisaneni okucebile okuhlanganisa ulwazi oluhlukahlukene lwamalungu e-PIURN,” kusho yena.

Naphezu kokuba abesifazane beyimbangela yokuphila ogwini lwasePacific, amazinga osomabhizinisi besifazane ahlala ephansi. UDkt. Shalini Singh waseFiji National University uhola ithimba elisebenzisa izindlela ezisekelwe kumasiko, okuhlanganisa nenqubo yendabuko yokuxoxisana yaseTalanoa, ukwakha uhlaka losomabhizinisi oluhlanganisa wonke umuntu ezimbonini ezisekelwe olwandle.
“Ukuthola iTupu Grant yokuqala kuyilungelo elikhulu futhi kuyimbangela enamandla,” kusho uDkt Singh. “Lesi sibonelelo sisihlomisa ukwandisa izinhlelo zethu, siphakamise ubuholi besifazane, futhi siqhube ukukhula okusimeme okuqinisa imiphakathi yethu kanye nezimboni ezisolwandle.”
Umphenyi ohlangene uDkt. Jane Menzies wase-University of the Sunshine Coast wanezela: “Ukwakha ubudlelwano obuseduze phakathi kwethimba labacwaningi mayelana neFiji, iTonga, i-Australia, neNew Zealand kuyisibonelo sendlela esingakha ngayo ubudlelwano ukuze sifinyelele i-SDG yesihlanu ye-UN yoLingano Lobulili.”
E-Wagina Island, amanzi angaphansi komhlaba asengozini ngenxa yokungena kwamanzi anosawoti kanye nokungcola kwe-bauxite. UDkt. Timothy Girry Kale waseSolomon Islands National University uzama ikhambi elishibhile, elisekelwe emvelweni lokubuyisela ukuphepha kwamanzi emiphakathini ethintekile.
“Lolu xhaso luzosisiza kakhulu ekuthuthukiseni ukuqoqwa kwedatha, ukubandakanya imiphakathi yasendaweni kanye nokuthuthukisa amasu asebenzayo afaka isandla ekunciphiseni izingozi zezinhlekelele kanye nentuthuko esimeme esifundeni sethu,” kusho uDkt Kale.
The Isibonelelo Socwaningo saseTupu Pacific iphethwe yi-ISC Regional Focal Point for Asia and the Pacific futhi ixhaswe nguMnyango Wezimboni, Isayensi Nezinsizakusebenza Zikahulumeni wase-Australia, ngokubambisana nePacific Islands Universities Regional Network. Lolu hlelo lusekela amaqembu ocwaningo oluqhutshwa yizifunda eziningi ngokubambisana, oluholwa yiPacific akhiwe okungenani amanyuvesi amabili asePacific Island kanye neyunivesithi eyodwa yase-Australia ebambisana kumaphrojekthi ahambisana ne-Blue Pacific Strategy 2050.
