The Peoples Community Network coordinates most of the Mataisau work in Fiji. With the PCN main propaganda to empowering the people of Fiji, the Mataisau collaborates its operation with the PCN objectives of encouraging people’s participation in gaining secure land tenure and building better housing, and to involve people on all major decisions and projects, by consulting them and inviting their active participation.
Mataisau involves itself through conducting the mapping workshops in communities. The purpose of such workshop is to let community members identify the layout of their community by drawing a map of their community and noting some problems and difficulties that the community face. After such process the community members find such ways in trying to solve such problems. However the Mataisau offer technical support and advice.
Moreover, Mataisau assists PCN in squatter projects such as planning of low cost homes and planning of new settlements and communities where some squatter settlers are to relocate to.
