Fauoa Maani MBE is a Tuvaluan politician.
He worked as a journalist and served as clerk to the national Parliament,[1] and was named Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2009, a title awarded to him in recognition of his "public service and service to the community".[2]
The following year, he went into politics, standing for Parliament in the 2010 general election and was elected as MP for the constituency of Niutao.[3] [4][5] Following the election, he was appointed as Minister for Health in Prime Minister Maatia Toafa's Cabinet.[1][6] He lost office just three months later, when Toafa's government was brought down by a motion of no confidence.[7]
On 5 August 2013 Maani became the Minister of Education, Youth, Sports and Health following Enele Sopoaga becoming prime minister.[8]
