During the inception of the project in year 2009 it was realized that under the principle of subsidiarity, there was an urgent need in Fiji to decentralize approaches to the lowest decision making bodies and establishment of a catchment committee would be an ideal solution. Prior to the formation of the Nadi Basin Catchment Committee, decisions within Nadi basin were made sectorally with little consultation or long-term strategic planning between the different sectors. Hence one of national targets was demonstrate a governance model for catchment management through the Nadi Basin Catchment
Committee (NBCC) for future national upscaling and integration into Government policy. In year 2009 a Nadi Basin Catchment committee was formed within an independent chair appointed in year 2010. The committee was later endorsed by the cabinet in 2011. Mid 2012 involved an independent review of the Committee governance arrangements.

2(b) INDICATOR #2 Project Design and PM&E Plan endorsed by the Project Steering Committee
The design of this project dictated that proposed activities would be refined during the first six months of the project in close consultation with stakeholders. A participatory approach was to be utilized to ensure that the project includes communities and wider stakeholders as part of a participatory monitoring and evaluation plan. It was targeted that the PM&E will be implemented by August, 2011. The project activities were refined by early 2010 whilst by end of 2010 the PM&E was implemented and endorsed by the Nadi Basin Catchment Committee. This was further reflected in the mid-term review of the project as well.

2(c) INDICATOR#3: Nadi Basin Integrated Flood Management Plan
Inline with the objective of the project an Integrated Flood Risk Management Plan was to be developed. In order to have this plan in place a number of processes had to be initiated. Part of the process was the establishment of an early warning system and setting up of community based disaster management committee (CDMC) by 2011. By mid of 2012, an integrated flood warning system and 14 CMDC’s were established. "
