The Regional Director, Azusa Sato, and the Minister for Public Works, Meteorological Services and Transport, Ro Filipe Tuisawau, jointly launched the Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS). This marks a milestone for Fiji, with Water Authority of Fiji being the first agency to institutionalize ESMS, which strengthens their governance and supports sustainable infrastructure delivery. The system embeds proactive environmental and social risk management across the project lifecycle—enhancing accountability, reducing delays and costs, and improving outcomes for communities. Supported by ADB, it aligns with international standards, builds investor confidence, and sets a benchmark for resilient, inclusive development in the Pacific.

NATIONAL WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND SANITATION POLICY

Cabinet has approved the National Water Resources Management and Sanitation Policy, a major step towards strengthening the sustainable management of Fiji’s water resources and improving water and sanitation services for communities across the country.

The new Policy provides a clear framework to improve water security, strengthen sanitation services, build climate resilience and better protect Fiji’s rivers, watersheds and other vital water resources. It also promotes better planning, stronger monitoring systems, watershed protection, and improved preparedness for floods and droughts.

Importantly, the Policy aims to ensure all communities have fair and reliable access to safe water and sanitation services while supporting public health, environmental sustainability and national development.

Aligned with Fiji’s National Development Plan, National Adaptation Plan and broader climate resilience goals, the Policy will help guide long-term improvements in water service delivery and strengthen Fiji’s ability to respond to climate-related challenges now and into the future.

Suva, Fiji – The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF), in partnership with the Fiji Government and supported by key development partners including the Asian Development Bank (ADB), has officially launched its Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS)—a major milestone in advancing sustainable and climate-resilient water and wastewater infrastructure across the country.

The launch, officiated by the Honourable Minister for Fiji Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services, and Transport, Hon. Ro Filipe Tuisawau, coincides with World Environment Day, reinforcing Fiji’s commitment to environmental stewardship, climate resilience, and responsible infrastructure development.

The ESMS introduces a structured, systematic framework for managing environmental and social risks throughout the project lifecycle—from planning and design to construction, operations, and decommissioning. It strengthens governance, enhances accountability, and aligns WAF’s operations with both international best practices, including Multilateral Development Bank standards, and Fiji’s national regulatory requirements.

In his keynote address, Minister Tuisawau highlighted that the ESMS represents a significant advancement in institutional governance and positions WAF as a leading organisation in Fiji to adopt a comprehensive environmental and social safeguard framework formally.

“The ESMS institutionalises a structured approach to environmental and social risk management and reinforces the Government’s commitment to climate-resilient and inclusive infrastructure development,” Minister Tuisawau said.

The framework is closely aligned with Fiji’s Water Sector Strategy 2050, supporting the delivery of sustainable, inclusive, and resilient water and sanitation services nationwide. It also serves as a critical tool for addressing climate vulnerabilities affecting water infrastructure, including flood risks and ageing systems.

ADB’s Regional Director, Ms Azusa Sato, highlighted that WAF is the first Government Agency to implement its Environmental and Social Management System.

“The Water Authority of Fiji is the first government agency in the country to establish a comprehensive Environmental and Social Management System, demonstrating leadership in strengthening governance and sustainability in infrastructure delivery.”

“ADB is proud to have supported WAF in developing this system. The ESMS aligns Fiji’s infrastructure sector with international good practice, including ADB’s Environmental and Social Framework and other global standards. Strong safeguard systems are essential for building investor confidence, improving financing readiness, and ensuring that infrastructure investments deliver long-term benefits,” Ms Sato said.

WAF Chief Executive Officer, Seru Soderberg in his opening remarks, emphasised that the ESMS goes beyond compliance and serves as a strategic governance tool to strengthen decision-making, risk management, and long-term infrastructure sustainability.

“This system demonstrates our commitment to integrating environmental stewardship and social responsibility into every stage of our operations, ensuring that our investments deliver lasting benefits for communities while safeguarding the environment,” Mr Soderberg said.

The successful development of the ESMS reflects the strong collaboration between WAF, Government agencies, development partners such as the Asian Development Bank, private sector stakeholders, and communities.

The Water Authority of Fiji reaffirmed that the continued implementation of the ESMS will play a key role in building a more resilient, accountable, and environmentally responsible water sector for Fiji, supporting national development goals and safeguarding resources for future generations.
