Expression of Interest in Community-level Capacity Building for IWRM (Integrated Water Resources Management) in Pacific Island Countries: First Stage
Insufficient education, training and capacity in the broad field of integrated water resources management (IWRM) and water use efficiency (at various levels including government, private sector and community), including difficulty of retaining qualified and experienced staff, has been nominated by Pacific Island Countries (PICs) as a primary barrier to the implementation of IWRM. 
 
SOPAC (Pacific Islands Applied Geo-science Commission) is implementing two IWRM projects through its Water and Sanitation (WSP) Programme. The Pacific Integrated Water Resources Management Planning Programme is funded by the European Union and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Pacific IWRM Project.
In order to develop a more systematic professional competency and knowledge network around IWRM in each PIC, the SOPAC EU and GEF Pacific IWRM Projects have funded the development and delivery of a tailor-made accredited distance learning Post Graduate Certificate in Integrated Water Resources Management. A complementary investment in capacity building for IWRM at community level is proposed.
 
The objective of the community level capacity building is to enable capacity strengthening of community-capacity-building (CCB) practitioners/facilitators in the Pacific to use a participatory learning and action (PLA) approach for sustainable IWRM in communities. It is also to further  provide CCB practitioners/facilitators with the resources to enhance their skills and to facilitate participatory action learning for community capacity building for IWRM in the Pacific.
