The International Waters Project (IWP) aims to strengthen the management and conservation of marine, coastal and freshwater resources in the Pacific Islands region. It is financed through the International Waters Programme of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). Implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and executed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), in conjunction with the governments of the 14 participating independent Pacific Island countries.

Highlights of the community workshop included stakeholder engagement (facilitation, stakeholder participation and communicating with stakeholders); identification of resource management problems (stakeholder analysis, participatory problem analysis); learning the social context of resource management problems (participatory impact assessment, socio-economic baseline assessments, methods, analysis of information); and project planning (identifying and selecting solutions, impact assessment, considering options, project mapping).
