Pacific IWRW: New Film Highlights Achievements of Efforts to Develop Integrated Management for the Sustainable Development of Pacific SIDS

Launched in 2009, the Global Environment Facility supported project entitled 'Implementing Sustainable Water Resources and Wastewater Management in Pacific Islands Countries' (or the GEF Pacific IWRM Project) has worked with 14 Pacific Island Small Island Developing States to pilot innovative IWRM solutions to the regions most pressing water and sanitation issues. This short film entitled 'Integration for Sustainable Development' highlights the results of the GEF Pacific IWRM Project in reducing stress on vulnerable freshwater and coastal lagoon resources, strengthening national coordination for IWRM, and in reforming national policy for water and sanitation management.
