The Governance for Resilience Project is an initiative supporting Pacific Island countries, including Fiji, to adapt decision-making and governance systems to be risk-informed and climate-resilient.

The over all focus of Phase 1 of the GOV4RES project was on water security projects that aimed to improve hygienic living conditions through access to clean and safe drinking water. The Project ensured it integrated risks in all its planning and budgeting systems, gender & social inclusion needs as well as strengthening community resilience.

In 2022 – 2024, four sites were chosen and select small projects undertaken, namely:

  • Central Division Security Project (3 communities)
  • Vunimaqo (Ra, Western Division) Water Security Project
  • Ekubu (Vatulele Island, Western Division) Water Security Project
  • Northern Division Water Security Project – 4 communities

The Project has entered into its second Phase and more information will be released soon.
