Abstract
Community Water Management (CWM): Most of the water management findings reflect the experiences captured in our PaCWaM + research in Solomon Islands and Fiji. Of key relevance to DWSSP are:
1. Communities need ongoing support to build and sustain good water management, which is necessary to ensure safe, resilient and inclusive WASH outcomes
2. Water Committees (WC) are struggling to meet the prescribed gender quota of 40%, however many community members and all implementors interviewed recognise that women must be engaged in water management
3. Zones were not used for water management purposes. However, they exist, are
frequently used for fundraising for non-WASH objectives and were reportedly used in other provinces
4. The three most active WCs were all strongly connected with the village council and, in some cases, Area Council of Chiefs (Lelepa, Taloa, Mangaliliu)
5. Water management was a low community and individual priority
