The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources is undertaking an extensive site visit across Fiji's major divisions - Central, Western, and Northern. This initiative is part of the committee’s ongoing efforts to evaluate the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) operations as they review the Annual Reports for January to July 2018 and 2018-2019.

This visit will provide committee members with first-hand insight into the magnitude of work carried out by WAF to ensure safe and clean drinking water reaches communities across the country.

Opposition Member, Hon. Sachida Nand believes that a collective approach is needed to support WAF’s efforts.

“My perspective of drinking water was to simply turn on the tap and get it, but there is so much more involved than what meets the eye. The scale of work, the infrastructure, and the vital role WAF plays in delivering clean water to the community, which is a basic human right, is immense. While they strive to meet the high demand, with adequate support, maintenance, and budget, they will be able to achieve their targets. All parties, government departments, and divisions must rally behind WAF to ensure they succeed,” said Hon. Nand.

The site visit aims to assess the current state of Fiji’s water infrastructure, evaluate ongoing projects, and understand the challenges faced in delivering a reliable water supply to all Fijians. This engagement underscores Parliament’s commitment to informed decision-making, with the findings set to shape future policies and legislative support for the water sector.

Hon. Nand also commended WAF's dedication to delivering this essential service.

“WAF is doing great work, and we will support wherever we can,” he stated.

Led by Chairperson Hon. Tomasi Tunabuna and supported by both government and opposition members, this bipartisan effort highlights the importance of collaborative action to address the critical challenges in water accessibility.

The Standing Committee recognises the importance of WAF's work and remains committed to supporting the authority in its mission to provide equitable and sustainable water services to the nation.

#WorldToiletDay | In the Western Division, World Toilet Day was celebrated with a meaningful gathering involving 26 District Advisory Councillors & 7 Government Stakeholders of Sigatoka District.

This served as a platform to raise awareness about the importance of this day, which is commemorated annually to highlight the critical issues surrounding sanitation and hygiene worldwide.

This year's theme, "A Place for Peace," resonated deeply with community leaders and Heads of Government Departments as discussions evolved on the need for improved sanitation facilities.

WAF emphasised the alarming reality that inadequate sanitation can lead to the spread of diseases, social stigma, and heightened vulnerability, particularly for women and girls. The conversation reinforced the idea that every individual deserves access to a safe and private space to attend to their basic needs with dignity.

Community leaders were encouraged to take an active role in advocating for better hygiene practices and sanitation infrastructure within their communities.

This is not just a local issue; it’s a global challenge that requires collective action. By raising awareness and promoting education on sanitation, we can help eliminate the stigma associated with poor sanitation practices and foster an environment where every person feels safe and respected.

The commitment to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation for All by 2030 was a key takeaway from the celebration. Together, we can work towards creating a world where everyone has access to a clean and safe place—a true “place for peace.” By standing united in our advocacy efforts, we can make significant strides and creat a ripple effect toward improving sanitation and hygiene for all, ensuring a healthier and more equitable future for our communities.
