    Summary:

    The scheme responds to community needs, especially in rural areas. A committee of government, community and donor representatives consider proposals. Since it began, the scheme has supported projects in education, water and sanitation, transport and communications, power generation, fisheries and agriculture. Small-scale infrastructure projects include teachers' housing, jetties, water tanks and health centre upgrades. In recent years assistance has included building a produce market in Ha'apai and repairing Ha'apai air terminal. Support for climate change adaptation has also helped communities suffering from saltwater infusion of the water table into their drinking water, erosion, and tidal encroachment on marginal lands in Tongatapu, Ha'apai and Vava'u.
