Data analysis and informed decision-making
Build capacity of Kiribati locals to analyze data. Facilitate an MoU between an organization, consultant, expert, firm, institution, or regional CROP agency to provide capacity building to all civil servants in Kiribati through an annual visit or an analyzing training program relevant to their sectors. This effort must be integrated into the capacity building tracking assessment of the workforce of the Government, NGOs, SOEs, private sectors, and companies. Provide the methodology of analysis to use the same tools or approaches that can communicate with each other / supplement each other, rather than using different methods (e.g., Data collected from another sector cannot be analyzed if that sector used a different incompatible method)
Funding assistance
Provide funding assistance to increase the current operational budget for mobilizing community needs; To establish a stand-alone funding mechanism specifically for addressing the impacts of rapid and slow onset events; To strengthen and improve the financial mechanisms in place to tap funds efficiently, especially with the Climate Finance Division (CFD) and Kiribati Fiduciary Services Unit (KFSU) under the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MFED).
Knowledge needs
Support research and capacity needs on the impacts post assessment surveys. Boost current knowledge on the science of climate change and IPCC topics that could aid in both short- and long-term planning.
Databases, monitors, assessments, and scattered data
Develop database to record, archive, and monitor impacts specific to climate change and disaster risk management. Build capacity of data collection in terms of tablets, using simple, noncomplicated methods of data collection (Additional Context: Considering the scatteredness of Kiribati islands, there is a plan to station the climate change and DRM staff/local counterpart on every island of Kiribati to overcome difficulties with regular monitoring). Assist with post-drought needs assessment from economic, social, and environmental perspective, using baseline data to identify damage and losses. Provide training and updates on conducting vulnerability and risk assessments with communities. Assist with developing reports and recommendations from findings of economical, social, and environmental impacts of droughts and determine pathways to integrate into appropriate where possible. Improve the existing institutional arrangement at the national level for coordinating climate change and DRM, to find pathways that would strengthen this existing body to address loss and damage issues efficiently and sufficiently. Support with the management and coordination of data to allow different sectors to access data of critical importance for any loss and damage related impacts, responses, and actions, and to ensure data is accessible, updated for briefs to higher authorities.
Long-term planning for preparation, implementation, and recovery
Support with reviewing legislation gap specifically concerning loss and damage and consider how to integrate loss and damage into existing legislations/policies/plans. Assist with documentation of hazards and with differentiating between the impacts of hazards and the losses and damages caused by them to inform the development of new legislation, policies, and plans.
Long term projections research
Aid with developing particular and specific models for small islands like Kiribati, Tuvalu, FSM, etc. for concrete science data and to enhance certainty where possible for higher authority decision-making and building political will for action.
