The Tetepare Descendant Association (TDA) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening governance and conservation of Tetepare Island following its General Annual Meeting (GAM) held at Kekehe Village, Munda late last year. The meeting brought together representatives from member tribes, TDA executives, and key partners to review progress, challenges, and future priorities for the protection and sustainable management of Tetepare Island.
Speaking to the Solomon Star, a senior TDA official said the GAM demonstrated the Association’s continued dedication to its mandate despite operational and financial challenges. “The annual meeting was important for us to reflect on our achievements and also to address areas where we need to improve, particularly in governance and unity among member tribes,” the TDA representative said.
