The intended purpose of the National Seminar is a event at which the key findings of the PSDA are presented in the form of a "Roadmap to peace, stability and development in Fiji". This Roadmap will be deliberated on by participants and responses and commitments will be elicited from national-level decision makers and planners.

the overall goal is to encourage commitment and action of government and other bodies to the challanges of "Peace, stability and development in Fiji"

From the above, three objectives of the National Seminar are proposed:

To present the "roadmap to peace, stability and development" in Fiji to a national and international audience of leaders and decisionmakers
To deliver pro-unity, pro-stability and pro-stability messages at a national level.
To seek commitment to action and identify ways in which the roadmap of PSDA findings can be included into development plans into development plans of government, other appropriate bodies and the international community.
