The Wildlife & Conservation Unit in partnership with the Solid Waste Management Project Office in Kiritimati conducted a meeting to discuss solid waste management challenges in Kiritimati on Tuesday 13th of August 2019 at the Solid Waste Management Coordinator office

The Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK) and Kiritimati Urban Council (KUC) are the two key waste management players that were invited to this special meeting to discuss the possibility to establish a subcommittee with the aim to provide advice to the mother committee ways to address illegal waste dumping or waste disposal on the island.

Since Tourism is a prioritized sector under KV20 and Kiritimati island is a world-class fly-fishing destination, TAK was also invited to assist in formulating activities related to sustainable tourism on the island. These include tourism awareness programs such as roadshows, awareness signboards and community consultations.

The objective of the retreat is to gather the key technical staffs from concerned Ministries to assist in translating contents of the ISP from Kiribati to English which are relevant to their areas of work so the ISP can be published into both languages that is in English and in vernacular for Kiribati people. It also to attract more external donors to assist on the issues that had been identified to threaten food security on Maiana, Abemama and Nonouti.

A small closing was done on Saturday afternoon to earmark the completion of the ISP translation with the indoor and outdoor games among the participants and then followed by a dinner. The team returned on a Sunday morning on 11th August 2019. The LGD-MIA is now in the plan to finalize and publish the ISP into the English and the vernacular language and it is expected to be published before end of this year and then launch to the island councils of Maiana, Abemama and Nonouti for implementation.

The retreat was supported by the Kiribati LDCF I Project, funded by the Global Environment Facility and implemented under the Environment and Conservation Division with the support of the United Nations Development Programme.
