The Fiji Public Trustee Corporation Pte Ltd has announced an important strategic partnership with the Levuka Town Council, aimed at expanding estate planning and administration services for the local community. This collaboration strives to enhance awareness and simplify access to essential future planning services through targeted community outreach and educational initiatives specifically designed for the residents of Levuka.
The partnership was solidified through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) last month. According to Liliana Warid, chairperson of the Fiji Public Trustee board, the MoU demonstrates a steadfast commitment to servicing the Levuka community, intending to make trustee services more understandable and accessible for all families.
Ben Naidu, the council chairperson of special administrators, emphasized that this partnership is a significant advancement in their mission to offer comprehensive support to residents that goes beyond traditional municipal services. It extends to the domains of financial and legacy planning resources.
Moreover, Minister for Housing and Local Government, Maciu Nalumisa, lauded the initiative, praising it for aligning with governmental objectives of inclusive development and community empowerment through cooperative public service provision. Both parties have expressed their determination to implement the objectives of the MoU effectively, aiming to achieve substantial and beneficial outcomes for the Levuka populace.
The initiative mirrors other successful outreach programs in Fiji, such as those by the Ministry of Justice, which have effectively increased the accessibility of vital services, including birth, death, and marriage registrations, across the country’s remote areas. These efforts reflect a broader governmental commitment to ensure equitable service delivery and inclusivity for all Fijians.
Overall, this partnership between the Fiji Public Trustee Corporation and Levuka Town Council represents a promising step forward in community development, reflecting a collaborative effort to ensure that critical services are within reach for all, thereby fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for the residents of Levuka.
