The Ministry of iTaukei Affairs recently held a workshop with landowners to promote the sustainable management of water resources and ensure fair compensation for those protecting catchment areas.
Provincial Administrator for Macuata, Revoni Rakasalu, says the workshop was aimed at validating the draft Standing Trees Compensation Policy, based on extensive feedback from government ministries, landowning units, and technical partners.
He adds that the workshop also aims to provide a platform for landowners to have an inclusive dialogue on the policy’s core components, including the valuation of standing trees and an appropriate compensation model.
