This is the independent final evaluation of the Building Resilient Communities in Fiji (BRCF) project (2016–2019), implemented by the Fiji Red Cross Society and funded by USAID/OFDA, with IFRC managing the contract. Community action plans prioritised water, hygiene and health.
The project provided water tanks, including rainwater harvesting, and supported training on health, hygiene and waste management. The report includes a case study on Vio Island, where a new permanent water supply cut household water costs by 82 per cent.
It assesses results against three outcomes and against relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coverage, impact and sustainability, and sets out lessons learned and recommendations on branch capacity, community-based disaster management, gender and inclusion, and partnerships.
