What does building climate #resilience look like when communities are involved in the planning, implementing & monitoring of activities as well as working to spread awareness? A project in #Fiji shares solutions to learn from.

We are celebrating #WorldWaterDay2021 by carrying out awareness on climate change and health with a focus on how access to safely managed water and sanitation can reduce the spread of disease. Participants of recent workshops brainstormed how poor health can impact daily life.

Capacity building within communities is essential for #Resilience so we’re supporting informal settlements in establishing training committees that can help us deliver trainings and spread awareness on issues such as #Governance #ClimateChange and #DisasterPreparedness
