Environmental Impact Assessment for Proposed Replacement Causeway for Foa Island, Kingdom of Tonga

Kitekei'aho, Talanoa Fuka

Ngaluafe, Poasi

The purpose of the action is to improve transportation and reduce maintenance cost by upgrading causeway between Foa and Lifuka Islands, to become more resilient and less vulnerable to impacts of high energy waves. Built in the period 1978-1979, the raised coral structure has served the people of Foa and Lifuka well despite increasing maintenance cost. The replacement structure is similar to the existing one but with rock armoring to reduce the energy of waves impacting on the structure and culverts in the middle to encourage water flows to the western side of the Causeway. The estimated cost of construction is about TOP4.67 million. Environmental effects requiring specific analysis are limited to the followings; · possible effect of the structure on coastal erosion · dispersion of fine sediment from the construction site and its possible effects on fauna and flora in the nearby areas. Other effects considered in the analysis include social issues on fisheries and tourism, health issues on fish poisoning and on biological communities of the areas.

Pacific Region Infrastructure Facility (PRIF)

Tupou, Kisione

This is the second NIIP. It updates and builds on the successes of the first NIIP that was prepared in 2010. It continues the focus on responsible investment and improved asset management, and includes a stronger spotlight on climate change adaptation and disaster risk management. The Plan is country owned and led, and was developed with the full participation of and in consultation with internal stakeholders, and private sector and community representatives. The process involved the following key steps: 1. Analysing the key drivers for investments in economic infrastructure that will improve the everyday lives of the people of Tonga and reduce the costs of doing business. 2. Assembling a comprehensive list of economic infrastructure projects in the pipeline based on information from Government, Public Enterprises, and development partners to identify those investment projects that are already underway or have committed funding. 3. Developing and applying a robust prioritisation methodology that reflects national objectives as outlined in the Tonga Strategic Development Framework 2011-2014 (TSDF) to identify a set of infrastructure projects investments that are high priority for implementation in the next five years. 4. Considering the whole-of-sector planning implications of high priority projects, and identifying linkages and complementary (non-infrastructure) measures required to obtain best long-term value from investments. 5. Assessing the financial sustainability and level of cost recovery of existing infrastructure, and the proposed investments and linkages with public sector financial management framework. 6. Assessing the current infrastructure funding position of Government and Public Enterprises, and developing a funding strategy that can form the basis for discussion between Government, national stakeholders, and development partners.

Water Safety Plan Programme

Access to safe drinking water is a basic need and is one of the most important contributors to public health and to the economic health of communities. Pacific island countries have yet to overcome the challenge of providing a safe and adequate supply of drinking water to its populations. Infectious, waterborne diseases, such as Typhoid and Cholera and newly emerging pathogens are a major cause of morbidity and mortality within the Pacific region. The World Health Organization (WHO) report that about 2 million people in the world die each year due to diarrhoeal diseases, most of them are children less that 5 years of age. The worst affected are the populations in developing countries. Lack of access to safe drinking water is one of the main contributors to this situation. Traditional approaches that rely on sampling and testing water have failed to achieve extensive improvement in access to safe drinking water. Pacific island countries are committed to achieving targets specified in the Millennium Development Goals (2000), including halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 2015. A new strategy is now being promoted globally that is based on risk management principles drinking water safety planning.
