Community awareness, engagement and participatory workshop report / compiled by Sione Fakaosi and Pelenatita Kara.

Abstract

Tonga International Waters Programme (IWP) has commenced the strategic planning and designing of a pilot project following the selection of Nukuhetulu village in early 2003 to host the pilot project until 2006. In order for the community to actively engage and participate in the design process, it was imperative that they are familiar with IWP and its different phases that would require their involvement. The event was also seen as a good opportunity to introduce some of the participatory tools that will be used during planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the IWP pilot project
