The PACER Plus SPS and TBT Workshop aims to raise awareness among government officials, private sector stakeholders, and non-government organisations in Honiara, Solomon Islands about the obligations and requirements related to PACER Plus SPS and TBT.

The workshop intends to ensure that individuals such as importers, exporters, farmers, women's groups, youth, community groups, and others involved are well-informed and updated on SPS and TBT measures. The goal is to equip them with the knowledge of how to implement these measures when engaging in trade with other parties of PACER Plus.
