Performance Stories

Communities on Tanna and Gilbert Islands benefit from improved water and sanitation TARGETS 6.1, 6.2

Sustained results for communities. For more information, see article on improved water and sanitation infrastructure for Kiribati communities.1 Strong community engagement and participation, and our understanding of atoll contexts, were key enablers in SPC’s delivery of access to safe drinking water for 6000 people on the Vanuatu island of Tanna, and improved water and sanitation facilities (and maintenance capacity) for 9000 people in 35 villages across the Gilbert Islands in Kiribati. Context Results and impact

Access to reliable and safe water is always a challenge By 2019, both projects showed substantial results. for remote islands. Two stories from Vanuatu and Kiribati demonstrate how combining science and technical work with The Middlebush area has five water boreholes with government and community engagement and participation the potential to supply 100% of the population (6000 can strengthen water security for the residents of these islands. people) with 25 litres/person/day – well above the Sphere humanitarian minimum standards for water supply of at The first project, on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu, focused on least 15 litres/person/day. Once the boreholes are equipped, the Middlebush communities, which are regularly affected by community members will no longer have to hike up and drought. The people normally get their water from local rivers down hills to access water from open sources. Groundwater is and streams, which are often contaminated. Obtaining water also less affected by droughts and other disasters, providing is also time consuming as people have to climb down steep more secure access to water for these communities in future. ravines to get to it. The project increased scientific understanding of the geology The second project was on the outer islands of Kiribati. SPC and hydrogeology of Tanna. It also facilitated peer-to-peer worked with 35 communities on 16 islands in the Gilbert sharing and expert training opportunities and, as a result, group to assess water resources and sanitation needs and find has improved the capacity of drillers across the region (in ways to improve access to drinking water and sanitation. Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa and Solomon Islands).

Shared Both projects involved working closely with communities taps are now located centrally in the villages, providing access and the respective governments on ownership of and shared to clean drinking water. In many cases, there is also access to responsibility for the installed infrastructure. improved sanitation services.

SPC is able to leverage knowledge gained from different Working on remote islands has special challenges for project projects to achieve sustainable results, and to use integrated teams. Careful preparation and planning, and allowing extra programming to develop flexible and innovative approaches. time, are all important for success.

Engaging women in such projects is vital for improved sustainability. However, finding the right entry points for their Division: GEM participation can only be achieved through an understanding Donors: European Union, Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) of context and culture. Perseverance and commitment on the part of the project team may be necessary to encourage and maintain good levels of participation by women.

Tradition and technology meet in digital storytelling

TARGET 5

Emerging results for individuals and civil society organisations. SPC facilitated a workshop on digital storytelling, where participants learned to plan, develop and produce their personal stories using video. This creative approach offers a new tool for communication for development and social change. Context In a workshop in May 2019 for the Progressing Gender Equality in the Pacific (PGEP) II project, participants requested Pacific people are natural storytellers with oral histories support to strengthen their communication for development dating back thousands of years. The way that we understand and social change. Representatives from Kiribati were issues, share our histories and document our traditions is particularly keen to trial digital storytelling. through storytelling. These stories are often captured in songs, chants and art or painting and have been instrumental Change process in sharing knowledge and lessons learned through centuries. Storytelling has therefore traditionally been a key element in A five-day workshop on digital storytelling held in Kiribati 2 ‘pathways of change’. in October 2019 attracted considerable interest. Originally planned for eight people, 19 eventually took part – 12 women SPC is continually seeking creative and innovative ways to and seven men. The group, who ranged in age from 18 to improve communication for development and social change 70, learned to plan, develop and produce their personal in ways that are appropriate for Pacific people. Combining stories using digital video. They were guided through the digital technologies with Pacific storytelling traditions development of story boards and use of basic video editing presents an exciting opportunity. The process of developing tools to tell their stories. In planning sessions, the group a digital story is engaging, creative, user friendly and talked about issues they faced and the stories they might tell. appropriate for all ages.

“This workshop shouldn’t be stopped here and should be transferred to the communities. It will give them a chance to tell their stories, especially if we are talking about issues such as climate change…we need to preserve our knowledge, skills and have to preserve them somewhere so that they can be used for the future of our children and grandchildren and make sure that nothing is lost…” – Workshop participant.

Lessons learned

We need to think differently and be more creative about how we communicate to inform behaviour change or policy- making. Storytelling is a powerful form of communication and digital technology is an accessible tool. Practising digital storytelling Digital stories add value to the MEL process by sourcing, Results and impact documenting and sharing information in a way that is engaging for both individuals and groups. Participants learned to tell stories using cameras, their phones or laptops. The process was empowering for the group as Setting ground rules is important at the start of a storytelling they saw their stories ‘come to life’. They were able to tell their workshop. Participants in the Kiribati workshop decided the stories from their individual perspectives – to ‘own’ them. rules, which included transparency, responsibility and respect, The final stories covered subjects including gender equality, and a ‘do no harm’ principle. climate change impacts (disappearing islands), the cost of living, and violence against women. After post-production Telling a personal story may be cathartic, but it may also work, the stories will be packaged and shared in 2020 as part be traumatic, for example, if it is about violence. Support of the project’s communication strategy to support gender mechanisms should be available, if needed, during and after policy implementation. a workshop. SPC is keen to build experience in using this communication method. The team is developing a digital storytelling toolkit, based on materials developed for the workshop. The materials Division: SDP were also shared with workshop participants and several said Donor: Government of Australia they would be using them to teach others in their community groups to make digital stories.
