United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

The Sepik River is the longest river on the island of New Guinea. The majority of the river flows through the Papua New Guinea provinces of Sandaun and East Sepik, with a small section flowing through the Indonesian province of Papua. Sepik was identified in Papua New Guinea's 1993 Conservation Needs Assessment as "Very High Priority", the category of highest priority, due to its range of distinctive landforms, associated biota - in particular its extensive herbaceous wetlands - cultural diversity, and economic value.

Tonga International Waters Programme (IWP) has commenced the strategic planning and designing of a pilot project following the selection of Nukuhetulu village in early 2003 to host the pilot project until 2006. In order for the community to actively engage and participate in the design process, it was imperative that they are familiar with IWP and its different phases that would require their involvement. The event was also seen as a good opportunity to introduce some of the participatory tools that will be used during planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the IWP pilot project
