This landmark project is a cornerstone of Fiji’s national development strategy, aiming to modernise urban water and wastewater infrastructure across the Greater Suva Area. The initiative is designed to support rapid population growth and ensure environmental sustainability through three key project outputs: the implementation of a Performance Based Contract along the Suva-Nausori Water Supply System in the Central Region of Viti Levu, the expansion of the Kinoya Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Nasinu area, and the establishment of a state-of-the-art Water Academy in Lautoka to build long-term regional capacity. As part of the Project Implementation Support Consultant (PISC) assignment, we are providing the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) and its Infrastructure Delivery Unit (IDU) with high-level technical and management services. The goal is to ensure that all project outputs, stretching from the Suva-Nausori Water Supply System to the Western Region, are implemented effectively, on schedule, and in strict compliance with Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan and grant covenants. This is a unique opportunity to lead a transformative programme with a significant national impact in the South Pacific.
