Transport
Efforts are underway to make the transport sector—covering roads, maritime, and aviation—more resilient and better able to respond quickly during crises or emergencies.
In education, 8,000 students will benefit from schools being made safer and more resilient, while data-driven management, curricula, and assessments are being improved to ensure quality learning and effective emergency response.
MEIDECC
Tonga is strengthening early warning systems, encouraging resilient investments, and introducing disaster risk financing to better protect communities and resources. As part of these efforts, a new facility for the Tonga Meteorological Services and the National Emergency Management Office is being built to be commissioned next year.
Health
Health efforts in Tonga are focused on better managing non-communicable diseases and expanding climate-resilient services in the Northern Islands, with emergency response systems in place. These initiatives also include building a new hospital in Vava’u to serve the local community.
Statistics
Additionally, Tonga is addressing data gaps by strengthening welfare data collection and building capacity within the Statistics Department to support more informed decision-making.
