APTC Nauru

 Amongst these graduates are nine women and Anais Namaduk, the only graduate with a Certificate III in Education Support, which she completed in Vanuatu in 2019 but was unable to graduate in a ceremony due to pandemic restrictions.

The students received their certificates at a graduation ceremony at the USP Campus in Yaren Friday.

The Australian High Commissioner to Nauru, Angela Tierney, commended the graduates on their achievement.

Ms Naupa, who took up her new role in December 2018, joins APTC from the UNESCAP – Pacific Office in Fiji. She has a wealth of experience in development policy, programming and political economic analysis and has also served as a senior regional adviser at the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat.

As APTC’s first ni-Vanuatu Country Director, Ms Naupa will be using her extensive experience in engaging with Pacific Island governments, civil society organisations and development partners across the region.
