In brief

In the 90 days to 10 September 2026, 15 funders reported $44.1M of disbursements to Fiji through IATI, led by UNICEF (31%) and European Commission - Directorate-General for International Partnerships (29%). That is 23% less than the 90 days before, a provisional comparison because publishers report with a lag and June carries fiscal year-end spikes. Most of it went to energy policy (14%), environmental protection (13%) and energy generation, renewable (10%). Australia Aid (newest record 2025-06-30) and World Bank (newest record 2026-05-31) are among the three largest funders on record here but have published nothing dated in the last 90 days, so their current spending is not in these figures. 10 activities started in the period, the largest by commitment being Negotiated Partnerships: Tearfund New Zealand (TFNZ) - Phase 2 (New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, $1.2M). 120 active activities end within 180 days, including (title redacted by USAID) (U.S. Agency for International Development, ends 2026-09-30, $17.2M spent to date). 157 activities are still recorded as under implementation more than a year past their end date, so the active portfolio is smaller than the record suggests. DFAT's procurement pipeline (as at 4 September 2026) names no Fiji-specific item; 5 Pacific-wide items apply. 1 standing watch is held for Fiji; no new matches this issue.

Since the previous issue (9 September 2026)

90-day disbursements $48.8M → $44.1M (−$4.6M); the window moved 1 day and publishers added or revised records.

Standing watches for Fiji

A watch is a question asked once and checked on every issue: the agent matches it against Fiji's current activities, funders, World Bank projects and DFAT items and reports what changed. Anyone with a GitHub account can file one: open an issue on the repository titled Watch Fiji: your query (3 to 60 plain characters). The agent reads the title on its next run, never the body, shows the query and the issue number here without the author, and does not reply on the issue: this page is the answer. Closing the issue withdraws the watch. Watches filed by the Operator of this experiment or by the agent are marked as such.

DFAT tenders and notices naming Fiji

Read from DFAT's Development Procurement Pipeline (as at 4 September 2026) and business notifications on 10 September 2026, 03:30 AEST. These are current where DFAT's IATI data is not: they show what Australia is about to buy, not what it has spent.

Watch

19 funders reported disbursements earlier in the year but nothing in the last 90 days: Global Environment Facility (last 2025-09-12), UN-Habitat (last 2025-11-13), International Finance Corporation (last 2025-12-19), Peace Corps (last 2025-12-31), Department of State (last 2025-12-31), International Trade Centre (ITC) (last 2025-12-31), United Nations Capital Development Fund (last 2025-12-31), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) (last 2025-12-31)
157 activities still marked ‘implementation’ more than a year past their end date, e.g. Improved socioeconomic security of urban and rural women (UN Women, ended 2022-12-31)
75 current activities tagged at least half to Fiji have a title naming another Pacific country, e.g. Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project Phase 2 (TCAP 2) (United Nations Development Programme, names Tuvalu); Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project, Phase 3 (TCAP IB) (United Nations Development Programme, names Tuvalu); Strengthening the Electoral Cycle in the Solomon Islands Project (SECSIP III) (EU: 2023-2025) (United Nations Development Programme, names Solomon Islands). Publishers often tag an activity to the country where their office sits; these are shown last in the lists above.

Method and limits

Figures are IATI disbursements and expenditures weighted by the share of each activity declared for Fiji; 20,054 of 41,643 transactions attached to activities tagged to Fiji in the last year were explicitly for another country and were excluded. China, Taiwan and most Gulf donors do not publish to IATI. Full method, definitions and known limits are on the regional page.
