Climate adaptation project to benefit 14 coastal communities

Over 2,400 residents in 14 communities are expected to benefit from a grant agreement approved by Cabinet.

The grant agreement is between the Pacific Community (SPC) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Waterways.

In a Fiji Government statement, Cabinet confirmed the grant agreement is for the implementation of the “Strengthening the Adaptive Capacity of Coastal Communities in Fiji to Climate Change through Nature‑based Seawalls” project.

“The project is expected to directly benefit 2,466 residents in 14 communities, including the following villages: Qaranivai, Sogobiau, Visoqo, and Namama in Macuata; Saqani, Sese, Tawake, and Loa in Cakaudrove; Tagaqe and Nabila in Nadroga/Navosa; Nayavuira, Nayavutoka, and Saioko in Ra; and Nabuna Village in Koro, Lomaiviti.”

The project will be overseen by a Project Steering Committee.
