Nemani Tuifagalele has begun drafting a Deed of Trust for the Village of Yacata to provide the framework over the activities to be undertaken by the people of Yacata.
Below is a summary of Nemani's proposal covering process and what is to be included in the Deed document. It is proposed that once drafted, it will be submitted for consideration by members of the Yavusa Yacata, at the Mataqali level, to gain the necessary mandate as stipulated in the various Fiji government laws and or regulations.
- Yavusa Yacata Deed of Trust will be the umbrella Trust overseeing all affairs of the Yavusa.
- The trustees of this Trust should be appointed and/or represented by at least 2 members of each existing Mataqali within the Yavusa.
- Each Mataqali should have the prerogative of appointing their Mataqali representatives to be Trustees.
- The newly appointed Yavusa Yacata Trustees then will have the mandate via the deed of trust to appoint Trust arms or committee/department to look after the various departments.
- The arms or departments can include the following areas of interest:
a. Investment/Development
b. Education/Scholarship
c. Religious
d. Vanua issues
