“…Fiji experienced a lockdown and job losses. Schools were closed to prevent the virus's spread ( Dean, 2020 ), which was contained in 2020 through proactive lockdown measures. However, the re-emergence of the virus community outbreak in Fiji in 2021 has increased anxiety among all educational stakeholders.…”

Academia was no exception to the widespread impact of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). There is only a small amount of research conducted with regard to the consequences of the Pandemic in Fiji. Thus, in order to gather a longitudinal dataset, a cross-sectional survey was conducted from February to August 2020. 300 physical education and sports teachers used Google Forms to complete an online survey. There are questions on the form about age, gender, marital status, and other daily activities. A similar survey was conducted to study the long-term psychological effects (coronavirus fear and fascination with COVID-19). The characteristics of society have been explored. Efforts have been made to use different sets of psychological data, showing the anticipated results. Sex, age, marital status, and family type are significantly affected by stress, anxiety, sexual satisfaction, and social support. There is a substantial difference between marital status, gender, and social support when it comes to the Pandemic. According to research findings, fifty per cent of secondary school physical education and sports teachers in Fiji may have been affected by the Pandemic. Considerations should be taken to keep teachers calm during a pandemic. Because of this, it is necessary to submit some practical recommendations in order to minimize the adverse effects of this problem.

“…The Fijian economy heavily relied on the tourism sector, whereby most micro and small business operators evolved around providing services to tourists in Fiji. Since the pandemic, global transfers have seized operations as many international borders have been shut (Dean, 2020;Dahal & Wagle, 2020). The high risk of the pandemic posed on the informal sector.…”

During the global pandemic, national progress went into silence. The whole economy suffered the raging impact of COVID-19. The government had to force its way into creating new policies and revising the existing budget to encounter COVID-19. The paper aims to evaluate the national budget and its responses given by the Fijian Government concerning economic recovery amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The national state will prepare to encounter an economic crisis through ongoing propaganda and revision of its budget. The paper is intended to constitute and involve the fiscal policy of Fiji as to how it has changed dramatically over time to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The script will also analyse government revenue and expenditure and its national debt situation and check if the nation is not in a dangerous financial disaster zone. Moreover, the paper will also investigate economic stability by analysing government debts, revenue and expenditure. The research will pull meaningful resources and policies used in the past two years of the budget since the stroke of COVID-19. The Government of Fiji takes countermeasures and policy strategies to sustain such a health crisis turning into an economic disaster. Furthermore, the paper highlights mistakes and lessons learnt pre- and post-COVID-19. The research paper will scrutinise the national budget, portray theoretical findings with descriptive analyses, and conclude if the economy is prepared to control the current health outbreak crisis or if there is fiscal overdrive with no hope. The analysis will also highlight if the Fiji Government is ready to face such outbreaks and prepare for any other unforeseen natural crisis. Therefore, the paper will provide transparent, constructive, and concise arguments based on the fiscal overdrive of the national budget of Fiji.

“…Moreover, the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, although an issue of global significance, locally present an additional problem to the already multitude of issues that trouble the sugar industry in Fiji. Generally, the pandemic presents the people of Fiji, particularly the sugarcane farmers, with problems of livelihood security (Dean 2020 ). A recent paper by Sachan and Krishna ( 2021 ) focusing on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Fiji sugar industry has tried to fill some gaps in the literature.…”

This paper examines the problems facing the sugar industry in Fiji. It expands on the difficulties of world trade and the macro- and micro-problems that affects the sugar industry sternly. It also discusses local challenges associated with sugarcane crop production and sugar manufacturing in the country. Additionally, it provides an overview of some of the specific issues directly facing smallholder sugarcane growers. This study is based on a customised mixed-methods research conducted in the year 2015 in the sugarcane-producing areas on the islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu in Fiji. The 33 farmers and members of their households in the study comprised both descendants of the Girmitiya community brought from India under the colonial rule and the native iTaukei sugarcane farmers, who rely primarily on cash incomes derived from the sale of sugarcane and other diversified farm products. This paper demonstrates that the sugar industry in Fiji is currently facing a ‘perfect storm’—wave after wave of major difficulties coming all at once—and the country is beginning to tackle these problems only as they reach crisis point.
