5 Moglia, M.; Perez, P.; Burn, S. 2008. Urbanization and water development in the Pacific Islands. Development, 51(1): 49-55.
(Location: IWMI HQ Call no: e-copy only Record No: H041366)
Many urban centres in the Pacific islands have witnessed rapid growth and considerable cultural transition. Despite well meaning and considerable efforts to improve water service delivery, there usually remain very real concerns relating to the limited supply of freshwater and notoriously poor water quality. Many water developments fail due to lack of ownership and ultimately from na?¨ve assumptions about the socio-cultural contexts in which solutions are applied. Owing to a range of inter-relations and socio-cultural considerations, water development under these circumstances is a complex task that typically cannot be approached in a simplistic manner. Magnus Moglia, Pascal Perez and Stewart Burn describe three archetypes for water development (techno-centric, micro-credit and companion modelling), but in the end identify the companion modelling approach as being more suitable for developing context-specific institutions. While this methodology is part of the preferred participatory approaches, applying it to a realworld context is not easy, and a number of lessons are described based on previous experiences in the atoll town of Tarawa.

The issue of ensuring that growing communities in small island countries have access to safe water and adequate sanitation is examined in Kiribati, whose islands are spread over three million square kilometres in the central Pacific. Its coral island communities have water supply and sanitation problems among the most difficult in the world. Formulaic developed-world approaches, models, techniques and toolboxes that do not consider the social and cultural context have had little success. Changes in approach at the international, national and local levels are called for, and the resourcing of village-level water and sanitation committees would return ownership and control in rural communities to its traditional base.

Transdisciplinary research focussing on improving smallholder farmers' uptake of technological innovations enables the integration of knowledge systems and the co-design and delivery of creative solutions. In this paper, we illustrate how scientific research can be mobilized within professionally facilitated change management workshops to engage a broad range of stakeholders and co-create knowledge in a rural development context. Multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary and multi-national stakeholders have contributed to finding innovative solutions to challenges experienced by smallholder farmers. By combining different worldviews we were able to assess research priorities, define problems and determine research options based on new hybrid knowledge systems. The outcome of this transdisciplinary process was the co-creation of a Research Discussion Tool and identification of 9 thematic areas which, in combination, enabled obstacles to technology uptake to be overcome and for smallholder farmers to benefit from research-based innovations. The process involved assisting Lao national researchers and extension agents to co-develop solutions, strategies and methods to improve technology uptake by farmers in the lowlands of southern Lao PDR using a series of change management interventions. A complex ecology of factors involving farmers' decision drivers/motivations and farmers' decision enablers within farmers' production systems influence technology uptake. The relative importance of each factor is dependent on the specific technology that is being introduced. Hence, projects that introduce new technologies struggle to address all relevant factors and often do not have the ability to deal with the complex array of factors that are at play. The process of co-construction embeds local knowledge that becomes accessible to projects. The approach we document in this paper also has the potential to harness collaborative exchanges with other projects in similar geographical regions.
