After commissioning the upgraded roads on Matuku Island, Fiji’s Minister for Public Works launched a community-led vegetation control initiative, awarded to a group from Lomati Village.
The work is part of the Fiji Roads Authority’s Small Works Contracts programme, which hands routine maintenance of rural roads, such as vegetation control and minor repairs, to the people who use them every day.
This keeps roads safe and visible, while local groups earn income and contribute to the wellbeing of their communities.
