PASAI’s vision that "Pacific SAIs’ work contributes to improved management and use of public sector resources leading to increased transparency and accountability to the people of the Pacific” is in line with the principal objectives of regionalism:
Sustainable development that combines economic, social and cultural development in ways that improve livelihoods and well-being, and uses the environment sustainably
Economic growth that is inclusive and equitable
Strengthened governance, legal, financial and administrative systems
Security that ensures stable and safe human, environmental and political conditions for all
The PFM Roadmap for Forum Island Countries (FICs), endorsed by the Forum Leaders at its 2010 meeting, also aims to strengthen the PFM systems of FICs through better management and use of public resources and as a result enhanced transparency and accountability to the people of the Pacific.
PASAI plays an important role in strengthening the PFM systems of FICs through the work of individual Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) as well as its regional programmes under its five strategic priorities.
PASAI’s relationships with development partners (DPs) and donors are crucial to its ongoing success. Maintaining and strengthening relationships with existing primary DPs and other critical DPs (listed below) is essential, as is the need to develop new relationships with others.
