Two New Regional Projects Launched by the Kiwa Initiative to Strengthen Climate Resilience in the Pacific

The Kiwa Initiative is proudly announcing two new partnerships worth over 6.6M€ (approximately 15.8 million FJD), which will assist over 70 communities in five Pacific Island countries.

• The Kiwa EMPOWER Project: Engaging Mobilisation for Positive Outcome in Water, Ecosystem, and Resilience, overseen by Live & Learn Environmental Education Fiji, and
  
  
• The Kiwa RESTORE Project: Restoring Ecosystems for Sustainable, Transformative, and Resilient Communities, which is delivered by Conservation International.

These projects, announced during the Kiwa Initiative’s Steering Committee meeting held today in Suva, bring the total number of regional projects from five to seven.

They embody the Kiwa Initiative’s mission to address climate change through Nature-based Solutions (NbS) that prioritize community participation, equity, and sustainability. By integrating traditional knowledge with innovative approaches, both RESTORE and EMPOWER are designed to empower Pacific communities to thrive in the face of climate challenges.
