XM-DAC-46004-57294-001-LN4630 Asian Development Bank The project will support improved health of marine ecosystems in Laucala Bay by reducing wastewater pollution. This will strengthen the adaptive capacity of mangrove forests, coral reefs, and communities relying on fisheries for subsistence and livelihood. The project will also strengthen the reliability and efficiency of water supply services in the Greater Suva Area (GSA) by using performance-based and private sector-led nonrevenue water (NRW) management practices. Finally, to build the skills of the Pacific's water industry workforce, the project will set up a regional training program for water and wastewater utility operators with a training hub established in Fiji.
