The Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations Plus (PACER Plus) is a trade and development agreement focused on improving economic prosperity and resilience in the Pacific region. PACER Plus intends to create the conditions to remove some of the unique challenges faced by Pacific Island Countries, such as limited employment opportunities, isolation and small, narrow markets.
International Economics, with funding from the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFTAT) and in consortium with Oxford Policy Management, designed an overarching monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for PACER Plus and associated initiatives.
