In partnership with the European Union (EU) in the Pacific and the Pacific Community (SPC) the Programme supported the Mineral Resources Department (MRD) of Fiji to develop and launch its Geodata Digital Library to digitize geological data in Fiji. The Programme further supported the MRD through donation of a high-end scanner to digitize publications which can now be uploaded and accessed through the Geodata Digital Library. This will significantly improve geodata management across the country and will allow external researchers and developers within Fiji to access relevant publications, promoting greater collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Currently, access to the geodata library is limited to users within Fiji.
