Working with our key partners, Wildlife Conservation Society, Fiji National University’s Fiji Institute of Pacific Health Research and Edith Cowan University’s Centre for People, Place and Planet, our project the Watershed Interventions for Systems Health in Fiji (WISH Fiji) is a collaborative, research-to-action approach that is working within watershed units to reduce risk of water-related disease and improve downstream ecosystem health.

WISH Fiji is designed to reduce risks to people from Fiji’s three plagues (leptospirosis, typhoid, and dengue), as well as other diarrheal disease (collectively ‘LTDDs’), by improving overall systems health, which provides co-benefits for downstream ecosystems. 

Our WISH program approach is expanding into Papua New Guinea and the Solomons with the support of the Kiwa Initiative and the Australian Government’s Indo-Pacific Centre for Health Security.
