About Us

Established in March 2018 by the Pacific Games Office Act, the Office of the Pacific Games is a Government entity with the responsibility of coordinating the XVI Pacific Games. 

The Pacific Games Act 2018 also establishes two committees - the Executive and Organising Committees, consisting of Government Ministers and Chief Executive Officers.

The coordination and therefore success of the XVI Pacific Games lies in the support and backing of the Government of Samoa.

One in Spirit.
Samoa We On.

We love success.
We achieve results and celebrate when we do. We work with others as a team to accomplish results and win. We have a positive “can do” attitude and drive to get the job done. We make people feel valued and appreciated.

Humility

We have the humility and hunger to learn.
We value openness and curiosity to learn from anyone, anywhere. We are open to personal change and continuous improvement. We learn from our mistakes and successes in equal measure.

We promote a positive, energizing, optimistic and fun environment. We promote and implement creative and innovative ideas and solutions. We value and fiercely protect our reputation.

Pacific Games

We follow the Pacific Games Council charter established in 1962 before the first Games in Fiji in 1963.

The modern version of the Pacific Games Council Charter was the culmination of a large amount of work conducted by the Council's Charter Review Committee.  It spent three years from the conclusion of the 2003 South Pacific Games in Suva through until the Council's General Assembly of 14 May 2006, reviewing, modernising and updating the Charter from its original 1962 format.

The current Charter, which was adopted at the Council's 2006 General Assembly in Apia, is also commonly referred to as the Apia Charter.
