After a competitive tender process, Galexia was chosen to assist DBCDE in the development of a spam legislation, enforcement and co-operation regime. This project, funded in part by AusAID’s Pacific Governance Support Program (PGSP), will be applied across the island states of Niue, Samoa and Vanuatu.

As part of the project, Galexia had a central role in developing a package of anti-spam policy and legislation, specifically tailored for the participating Pacific Island countries, modelled on Australia’s Spam Act 2003. Galexia’s role continued through to developing a local enforcement capability, as well as participating in an international network of enforcing agencies.
