Regional IWRM Training Presentations
The IWRM programme has held training sessions to inform its stakeholders about the programmes, the processes and to provide general information and updates. The training sessions have been conducted also to facilitate the country focal points in moving forward the IWRM process and also providing them the opportunity to meet directly with programme managers one on one. This provides and enabling environment where the IWRM focal points are able to get direct answers and clarify their doubts. One on one interaction also contributes to strengthening of partnerships and building of trust and in the long term will contribute towards the success of the project.
In light of this, the presentations used in the training sessions are available here for use with the requirement you acknowledge any content used for any purpose. These can be downloaded and used using Acrobat Reader.

2) Building the Foundation Program. Leadership Training Seminar; Improving Water Planning and Management (14-24th July, 2009, Hawaii)Micronesia has critical water and sanitation issues that are exacerbated by climate variability. The Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), in partnership with the East West Centre held a meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii to assist countries from the North Pacific develop a roadmap that deals with these issues.
Countries participating in the meeting included the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau. A broad range of key stakeholders involved in the IWRM process were invited to the workshop and included information specialists, NGOs, public utility managers, environment protection officials, national planners and senior civil servants.

After a inception phase of 3 years, in June 2008 the Council of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) approved funding for a programme on Sustainable Integrated Water Resources and Wastewater Management (IWRM) to be implemented from 2008-2013 under the Pacific Alliance for Sustainability.
In addition to this, SOPAC also received funding from the European Union Water Facility in early 2008 to support national IWRM planning in the region for the duration of three years.
In order to mark the inception of these programmes an IWRM Planning Meeting was hosted by Niue 18 to 25 July 2008 at the Mission Hall in Alofi, Niue.
