AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Climate & Resilience: Fiji is losing about $500m a year to climate-related disasters, with floods and cyclones driving roughly 80% of damage, and officials say the challenge is turning climate finance into practical on-the-ground projects. Water & Infrastructure: A temporary sewer rising main for Denarau Road is on track to finish by end of September, aiming to cut recurring sewer bursts and protect public health in a key tourism hub. El Niño Watch: Disaster planners are preparing for a possible severe El Niño, with contingency steps already underway for water shortages in rainfall-dependent islands and areas like Taveuni. Agriculture Under Pressure: The Agriculture Ministry warns El Niño-linked dry weather could push food prices higher, while livestock farmers are urged to manage stress through water, feed and possible culling of vulnerable animals. HIV Response: Fiji has declared a national HIV crisis after diagnoses rose 27% in 2025, with young men (20–24) leading male-to-male cases and authorities expanding testing and harm-reduction services. Local Business & Jobs: Fiji is seeking deeper UK support for economic diversification, digital transformation and MSME growth, including potential UK-backed financing for WAF infrastructure. Transport & Trade: Government says some dry-docking needs must be booked overseas due to local limits, and maritime planning is critical to avoid service disruptions. Tourism Industry: Tourism Fiji’s Industry Day 2026 shifts focus from visitor numbers to greater economic value and wider community participation. Security & Enforcement: Taxi operators complain about illegal “pari” drivers undercutting licensed operators, calling for stronger enforcement. Rural Livelihoods: Yaqona theft in Taveuni is threatening farmers’ income, with calls for tougher action against crop theft.
