The provision of selected water, sanitation, and solid waste services and infrastructure will be designed and implemented, however, the underlying purpose and intended outcome of the program is to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that island residents will need to become stewards of their island environment and to make rational and informed decisions on key climate change adaptation issues, and thus reduce risk and vulnerability over the long-term.
