Introduction

Sustainable development is a foreign word for Pacific Islanders yet it is used in the Pacific

context. It is difficult to say who is at fault when resources are depleted. In the context of Pacific

society, however, resources are interconnected with the life of Pacific Islanders because many

Pacific Islands operate at a subsistence level. My essay will identify ways to develop human

resources using existing institutions because establishing new organizations is expensive and

countries like the Fiji Islands have adequate pre-existing institutions. This essay will discuss how

good governance can lead to sustainable human development. Good governance involves

integrating research into policies, turning vision into action, changing the curriculum, formal

mentoring, informing about technological change, and involving the society in decision-making.

Good Governance is Part of Development

Good governance has become an essential component of development for all Pacific

Island Countries (PICs) due to increased corruption and exploitation of human and natural

resources. Practicing good governance can create the potential for an integrated Human

Resource Management framework that will offer insights into what has and has not worked well

for the Fiji Islands.1 Since human resource indicators require improvements in governance, a

system of governance will enable the Fiji Islands to maintain accountability, allow participation,

and establish systems of checks and balances in order to achieve social and economic well-being.

Development practitioners believe that when articulating the concept “human development” in

governance issues, people should be the center of development so that a more integrated citizenfocused

service delivery can occur. Such advocacy will enhance the pro-poor and proenvironment

state policies that can promote balanced economic growth and social development.2

The Fiji Islands could be a pilot country and other PIC governments might follow and adopt

complementary social and environmental policies in order to guard against increasing levels of

poverty and environmental degradation.

Human Resource is the most Important and vital Factor of Economic Development or it can be said that humans are the agents of development. some of the importance of Human Resource or Human Capital are.

1) Country Develops if The Human Resource is Developed:
To enhance economic development the state constructs roads, buildings bridges, dams, power houses, hospitals, etc. to run these units doctors, engineers, scientist, teachers, are required. So if the state invests in a human resource it pays dividend in response.

2) Increase in Productivity:
The batter education, improved skills, and provision of healthy atmosphere will result in proper and most efficient use of resources (non-natural & natural) which will result in increase in economic production.

3) Eradication of Social And Economic Backwardness:
Human Resource development has an ample effect on the backwardness economy and society. The provision of education will increase literacy which will produce skilled Human Resource. Similarly provision of health facilities will result in healthy Human Resource which will contribute to the national economic development.

4) Entrepreneurship Increase:
Education, clean environment, good health, investment on the human resource, will all have its positive effects. Job opportunities would be created in the country. And even business environment will flourish in the state which creates many job opportunities.

5) Social Revolution:
Because of Human Resource development the socio economic life of the peoples of a country changes drastically. Over all look changes thinking phenomena changes, progressive thoughts are endorsed in to the minds of people.

Conclusion

Efforts from different parts of society are needed to understand the changes that take

place in human resource development. These efforts can influence the successful implementation

of sustainable development. The institutions that fail to recognize links between people and

resources fail to understand the structures and processes of development goals. Therefore, the

Government, by adopting good governance at every level, should be a key player in building

effective strategies to develop a nation.

Human are the core of development,

but their lives and the environment needs improvement.
