The Project scope includes: (i) Detailed design and construction of workboat harbour / small scale maritime facilities in Nukulaelae including new channel dredging, construction of a transit shed, and provision of a truck with crane. (ii) The improvement of boat ramps in Nanumaga and Niutao. (iii) Detailed design of small scale maritime facilities in Nanumaga and Niutao. (iv) Master planning for the transport and fishery sectors including feasibility studies for Nanumaga, Niutao, and Nui maritime facility improvements and other harbour development options. The tasks have ultimately been undertaken in the following packages: > Under the Project Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) the tasks undertaken were: - feasibility studies for the improvement of maritime facilities were undertaken for Nukulaelae, Nanumaga, and Niutao; - concept designs were prepared for the workboat harbour at Nukulaelae; - concept designs were preapred for the improvement of existing ramps at Nanumaga and Niutao. > Under the Project Design Advance (PDA): - detailed design was completed for Nukulaelae, Nanumaga and Niutao workboat harbours; - procurement, including tender documentation and management and assessment of tenders, was undertaken for the construction of the Nukulaelae workboat harbour. > Under the Project Support and Master Planning (PSAMP) Project, Cardno will: - develop a Masterplan for the transport and fishery sectors; - undertake the construction supervision of: ▪ the workboat harbor / small scale maritime facilities in Nukulaelae, and ▪ The re-construction of boat ramps at existing sites in Nanumaga and Niutao. It is noted that the tender for the construction of the Nukulaelae work boat harbor and re-construction of boat ramps at existing sites in Nanumaga and Niutao has not yet been awarded, and it is anticipated to occur in the next month. It is also noted that the construction of the workboat harbors in Nanumaga and Niutao is currently planned to be funded by World Bank. The construction of the 3 workboat harbors in Nanumaga and Niutao fall outside of the scope of these works and this DDR. This document is based on the PPTA DDR, but has been updated to reflect all the activities undertaken under the PDA phase of the project. Indigenous Peoples Safeguard The project does not trigger the indigenous peoples safeguard as the affected inhabitants identify as mainstream Tuvaluans. Involuntary Resettlement Safeguard The project site in Nukulaelae does not trigger the involuntary resettlement policy as all affected lands and assets have been acquired through negotiated settlement. All affected persons voluntarily agreed to enter into leases which did not result in any government expropriation. One family leasing a house in Nukulaelae was transferred to a property with equal amenities and the same monthly rent (to the same owner and lessor, Nukulaelae Kaupule) due to potential impacts to their family from noise and dust during construction. Land Requirement and Status The sea side facilities will be constructed on Crown land1 while the associated structures such as transit shed and access road will require private land acquired through negotiated settlement. These private lands are generally bush area containing a small number of quality productive trees including coconut. The leases between the Kaupule and the landowners for the first year of construction have been calculated, and the Kaupule has paid for the first year (April 2017-April 2018) of the construction leases based on the rate of $3,000AUD per Acre. In line with Tuvalu law, the trees within these lease areas have been surveyed by the Department of Lands, and the appropriately calculated compensation has been paid to each of the landowners for the trees that will need to be cleared in the Nukulaelae work boat harbour lease area. The project sites where existing boat ramps will be rehabilitated in Niutao and Nanumaga do not involve displacement of people and physical structures. The boat ramps are built on the foreshore area which is on Crown land (foreshore area) thus will not require establishment of a government lease2. Impacts on the land and people by the future construction of the workboat harbours at Niutao and Nanumaga (to be developed by World Bank based on detailed designs developed during this current project) will need to be assessed according to funding requirements of the donor agency. Conclusion We confirm that the project complies with all ADB safeguards requirements and that as at the completion of the PDA phase, there are no outstanding safeguards issues for resolution. To the extent possible, the project team has prepared documents, processes and systems including a draft EMP, contractor requirements concerning working in the communities in the TOR, and a grievance resolution mechanism, to support the next (construction) phase of the project to meet ADB safeguards requirements. 1 Crown land, also known as royal domain or demesne, is a territorial area belonging to the monarch, who personifies the Crown. This is considered as government or public land, although the term still exists in Tuvalu which used to be a British Protectorate. 2 Foreshore and Land Reclamation Act (Section 2) defines 'foreshore'' as the shore of the sea or of channels or creeks that are alternately covered and uncovered by the sea at the highest and lowest tides. 4 Summary of Land Requirement and Land Use Current Status of Project Need for Additional Land Component Activities Land ownership or Components and/or Potential Issues Use 1.

  • Basic Design Study Report on the Project for Construction of the Inter-Island Vessel for Outer Island Fisheries Development
    BASIC DESIGN STUDY REPORT ON THE PROJECT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE INTER-ISLAND VESSEL FOR OUTER ISLAND FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT IN TUVALU January, 2001 Japan International Cooperation Agency Fisheries Engineering Co., Ltd. PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of Tuvalu, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a basic design study on the Project for Construction of the Inter-Island Vessel for Outer Island Fisheries Development in Tuvalu and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA sent to Tuvalu a study team from August 1 to August 28, 2000. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Tuvalu, and conducted a field study at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. Then, a mission was sent to Tuvalu in order to discuss a draft basic design, and as this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Tuvalu for their close cooperation extended to the teams.

  • Sector Assessment (Summary): Transport (Water Transport [Nonurban])
    Outer Island Maritime Infrastructure Project (RRP TUV 48484) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): TRANSPORT (WATER TRANSPORT [NONURBAN]) Sector Road Map 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Tuvalu is an independent constitutional monarchy in the southwest Pacific Ocean. Formerly known as the Ellice Islands, they separated from the Gilbert Islands after a referendum in 1975, and achieved independence from the United Kingdom on 1 October 1978. The population of 10,100 live on Tuvalu’s nine atolls, which have a total land area of 27 square kilometers. 1 The nine islands, from north to south, are Nanumea, Niutao, Nanumaga, Nui, Vaitupu, Nukufetau, Funafuti, Nukulaelae, and Niulakita. 2. About 43% of the population lives on the outer islands. The small land mass, combined with infertile soil, create a heavy reliance on the sea. The primary economic activities are fishing and subsistence farming, with copra being the main export. 3. The effectiveness and efficiency of maritime transport is highly correlated and integral to the economic development of Tuvalu. Government-owned ships are the only means of transport among the islands. The government fleet includes three passenger and cargo ships operated by the Ministry of Communication and Transport (MCT), a research boat under the Fishery Department, and a patrol boat. 2 The passenger and cargo ships travel from Funafuti to the outer islands and Fiji, so each island only has access to these ships once every 2–3 weeks. Table 1 shows the passengers and cargo carried by the ships in recent years. In addition to the regular services, these ships are used for medical evacuations.

The team mission includes several fisheries officers from both the coastal and the Operational and Development division, two NAPA II officers and three other staffs from other government departments. The full list of the team is provided on the appendix. Although, there were many target activities conducted during this mission, however, the focus of this report is to highlight specific activities that were undertaken specifically by the coastal division staffs during this trip. The overall objective of the mission is to implement fisheries related activities under component 1 of the NAPA II project. These are; I. House hold surveys on socio-economic data II. Collection of Ciguatera data III. Run creel survey trials IV. Canoe and boat survey V. LMMA work VI. Collection of fishery information and data The mission departed Funafuti on 18th June, and return on 4th July. The first island to visit was Niutao, where we stayed for 9 days. The visit to Niutao was the longest out of the three islands due to the unexpected problem we encounter during our stay on the island which will be mention later on this report.

    Global Economic Crisis Sentinel Site Monitoring Final Outcome Document (TUVALU) UNDP & UNICEF PROJECT Millennium Development Goals Project in Economic Planning and Budgeting Department Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning Government of Tuvalu 23rd November – 18th December, 2009 Author: Ms. Grace Alapati Statistics Officer for Tuvalu & GEC National Consultant EXECUTIVE SUMMERY Contextual study identifying the impacts of the global economic crisis across the Pacific is a work in progress. The UNICEF organization has recently proposed and implemented programs throughout the Pacific that study the current and likely potential social impact of the crisis. The emerging challenges towards the poor arises from the crisis should be now fundamentally considered, thus addressed with strategic key solutions. The poor population are the most vulnerable beings in related to the crisis. Households with many children, inactive youths to earn income and related means to sustain living standards, more women and those with large households sizes have obviously unhappy in obtaining households compulsories. The cost of essential consumer goods and services is noticeably increasing over the pass years. Households with inactive seafarers are desperate for paid employment. This version reports important crisis matters focusing on the impacts at national and community levels. The impacts of the crisis were investigated and categorized into certain identified modules. They are the Health, Nutrition, Education and finally the Economy module. A country real‐time vulnerability data is targeted to produce within a period of 2years to inform and guide assessment of policy decisions that may be established. The document however may assist planners to better understand the situations of the poor particularly how they cope with the crisis.

AND PAFMFIC FOREWORD In New Zealand the native-born ethnographers of the older generation are represented by Percy Smith, Elsdon Best, and Herbert Williams. A perusal of the following memoir will show the author to be a worthy successor to these. His work needs no further commendation. D. G. Kennedy was an undergraduate of Otago who went into camp at Trentham in the closing phase of the war. The armistice came before training was completed, but he did not return to the University. After some years of teaching, part of which was spent at the Maori Boys’ School at Otaki, he joined the Colonial Service in Fiji, where his interest in ethnography took more definite shape. Thence he was transferred to the Western Pacific High Commission, his duties leading him first to the Gilbert and later to the Ellice Islands. How much Polynesian ethnology has been the gainer by this experience is demonstrated by his Field Notes from Vaitupu. — H. D.

    THE PACIFIC ISLANDS POLITICS, ECONOMICS, AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TE'O I.J. FAIRBAIRN CHARLES E. MORRISON RICHARD W. BAKER SHEREE A. GROVES THE PACIFIC ISLANDS THE EAST-WEST CENTER was established in Hawaii in 1960 by the United States Congress "to promote better relations and understand­ ing between the United States and the nations of Asia and the Pacific through cooperative study, training, and research:' Some 2,000 research fellows, graduate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's interna­ tional staff on major Asia-Pacific issues relating to population, economic and trade policies, resources and the environment, culture and com­ munication, and international relations. Since 1960, more than 27,000 men and women from the region have participated in the Center's cooperative programs. Officially known as the Center for Cultural and Technical Inter­ change Between East and West, Inc., the Center is a public, non-profit institution with an international board of governors. Principal funding comes from the United States Congress. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agen­ cies and corporations. THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS PROGRAM (JRP) became an autonomous program within the East-West Center in 1989. The Program advances the Center's overall objectives through work on foreign poli­ cy and related political, economic, and security issues. Program pri­ orities are to 1) promote research and dialogue directed toward creating a stable, peaceful Asia/Pacific community; 2) identify issues in U.S. re­ lations with the Asia/Pacific region and recommend means of strength­ ening these relations; 3) improve understanding of individual societies of the region through cooperative research; and 4) promote contact and dialogue among the region's future leaders.

  • Transformations of the Meeting-House in Tuvalu
    Transformations of the meeting-house in Tuvalu Michael Goldsmith My problem is this: the Tuvaluan meeting-house is displayed as a symbol of indigenous culture in many different contexts. It is therefore often assumed, by both outside commentators and Tuvaluans themselves, to be of long standing in the history of that culture. Yet the word maneapa, by which the meeting-house is generically known, is of Gilbertese origin.1 Moreover, the weight of evidence suggests that not only the word but probably even the type of building itself is a post-colonial borrowing or implantation. If, indeed, there were no maneapa as such in Tuvalu before British hegemony was es­ tablished, then questions arise as to what, if anything, existed in its place; why the maneapa was introduced or borrowed; why it has achieved its current importance and, further, why it has become a symbol of national identity. In this connection, the concept of “transformation” calls out for a strong measure of historical attention. Yet the meaning of history is not as self-evident as the traditional definitions imply, with their references to narrative, sequences of events and so on (Braudel 1980:27). Another avenue, almost a new orthodoxy, has been explored under the influence of structuralism. Bather than using sequences of events to explain structure, some anthropologists use the delineation of structure to explain events. While Lêvi-Strauss’ name is the most closely linked to this programme (1966-.passim), even historical materialists find it beguiling. Godelier, for example, reverses the con­ ventional Marxist understanding of history with his contention that it explains nothing but is the category which itself needs to be explained, once structure has been revealed (Godelier 1977:49).
