The recent 26th Fiji Business Excellence Awards celebrated a significant achievement for the Ministry of Youth and Sports, which was honored with the Achievement in Business Excellence Award at the Sheraton Fiji Resort. This accolade recognizes the Ministry’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality services and striving for organizational excellence within the realms of youth development and sports.
Assistant Minister for Youth and Sports Aliki Bia expressed heartfelt appreciation for the efforts of the Ministry’s staff, whose collective dedication contributed to this prestigious recognition. He stated, “The awards not only recognize hard work but also increase the capacity of all ministries, civil organizations, businesses, and companies in terms of productivity.”
This award represents a substantial boost for the Ministry as it continues its mission of promoting empowerment and excellence among youth throughout Fiji. It also builds on earlier successes highlighted by Minister Jese Saukuru, who noted the Ministry’s productive year during his statewide tour, emphasizing the government’s unwavering focus on youth welfare and an inclusive approach that benefits all Fijians, regardless of background.
The intersection of recognition in the business and sports sectors highlights a collective aspiration within Fiji to foster growth and development through strategic initiatives that empower the youth. Both the Ministry of Youth and Sports and organizations like the Fiji Football Association exemplify the spirit of excellence and community engagement that motivates change and inspires the next generation.
These achievements set the stage for a hopeful and prosperous future in sports and youth development in Fiji, strengthening the framework for inclusivity and shared success among the nation’s diverse communities.
