Key Information

The Pacific Resilience Program is a ‘Series of Projects’. The regional approach of the Program is helping Pacific Island Countries (PIC) to: (i) strengthen early warning and preparedness; (ii) create a framework for stronger and prioritized investments in resilience and retrofitting of key‐public assets to meet internationally recognized resilience standards; and (iii) improve the post‐disaster response capacity of the countries through strengthened financial resilience to disaster events. Additional Financing will be used to support climate and disaster resilient recovery of schools and selected public assets in Tonga that were impacted by Tropical Cyclone Gita and strengthen the climate and disaster resilience of public facilities (such as schools and health facilities) to better withstand future disaster events. Recovery activities will give consideration of specific gender equality and universal access requirements for people with disabilities (i.e., for WASH facilities). Consideration will be given to the access needs of beneficiaries with disabilities, and the gender specific needs of school children.
