Current interventions that aim to improve the Marshall Islands Resource Assessment; Development and Management of these three essential inputs (energy, water and information and communication technologies); the management of these assets as well as it’s advocacy and governance through the provision of technical assistance, information, development and implementation of the appropriate policy and regulatory frameworks; are underway in the Marshall Islands. In general the Community Lifelines will support the Marshall Islands as the need arises through:

• The continual assessment of wind development and energy resources, the provision of technical assistance and training of staff in this area, and the provision and maintenance of a database which will assist the decision making and capacity building of concerned and relevant human resources;
• The development of energy resources that incorporate new and related technologies, the improvement of community access to and awareness of these energy resources, in order to ensure sustainable management;
• The development of cost effective and suitable technology such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing on spatial data for the region that is accessible for relevant stakeholders, regionally and internationally; the development of intranet and internet technologies; relevant support to the government departments concerned, and ensuring the accuracy of available data;
• The provision of technical advice on water and sanitation in the region, its proper management and awareness of waste management; the development of strategies that will reduce member islands’ vulnerability to drought;
• The review of existing policy and legislation in water, energy and relevant information and communication technologies that relate to SOPAC work programmes; representation of Pacific concerns at global forums, and the coordination of regional action plans in these areas.
