The Public Service Commission will work closely with the Ministry of Industry and Trade in promoting the ‘Fijian Made and Buy Fijian’ Campaign.
Public service permanent secretary, Parmesh Chand said they have had discussions with the ministry of Industry and Trade regarding the placement of promotional billboards and materials at various Government premises including the Government Service Centre (GSC) in down town Suva.
“The GSC is located at a central area where people enter and leave Suva City so having the Campaign billboard placed at the site will promote the Campaign messages,” he said.
Mr Chand added that PSC in 2011 had invested in purchasing locally produced mahogany timber for the building of the Lounge for staff use.
He said that all Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies are required to serve locally made products and grown fruit at morning teas and lunches hosted respectively by them and show support to this Campaign.
The ‘Fijian Made and Buy Fijian’ Campaign was launched by the Fijian Government in 2011 to create a Fijian brand and to promote Fijian made products and produce, both domestically and abroad, through a national branding strategy.
