Humanitarian & Disaster Management:Strengthening Water Security in Selected Pacific Island Countries The goal of this $5m project is to build resilience by helping vulnerable Pacific Island Countries to access safe and reliable drinking water supplies, and reduce their risk of water shortage. Starting in 2015, this Activity focuses on 5 drought prone Pacific atolls (Tuvalu, Tokelau, Kiribati, Cook Islands and the Republic of Marshall Islands). It has developed practical tools and procedures to improve awareness, build capacity, reduce vulnerability and maximise use of available water resources.
