Te Kete comes at a time when Tuvalu is living through a shift of paradigm to the ne normal resulting from the Covid19 pandemic. We are looking more inwards into our own potential, optimizing the returns from our atoll endowments and most of all our human resources to provide sustainable livelihoods.
Tuvalu faces real challenges in relation to the management of its human wastes (fekau o tino). This is despite decades of promotion of the use of water sealed flush toilets and septic tank systems as the most hygienic and safe way to dispose of human wastes. These systems were promoted as an alternative to the use of the beach for human waste disposal.
