Fiji Ecovillage Transition Project To support traditional villages in Fiji to transition to ecovillage in the face of climate emergency

The Fiji Ecovillage Transition Project is an initiative by GENOA and GEN Australia, to engage the sustainability network of Fiji and to assist a pilot traditional village in the transition towards ecovillage. There are four key dimensions in ‘ecovillage’ – social, ecology, worldview (culture) and economy, integrating into a whole systems design.

We acknowledge and respect that many Pacific Island communities are already strong in social and culture, and our role is to guide them to see and appreciate this, value their strengths, and understand what areas they need support in. GENOA will guide the process and support local communities to upskill and transition to sustainable settlements. Follow up after this pilot program will be in the capacity of mentorship, troubleshooting and providing trainings on request.
