It consolidates information gathered in: (i) August 2014 during an early warning system (EWS) needs assessment to inform the development of the World Bank’s Pacific resilience program (PREP); and (ii) August 2016 from discussions with key stakeholders (government bodies and development partners) about EWS activities currently underway or recently completed. Using this information this document identifies the needs for future EWS activities which remain unfunded. A number of activities supporting EWS have been undertaken in Tonga in recent years. This report provides a matrix of activities against the key areas of EWS. By providing a clear outline of the current state of play for EWS in Tonga and identified outstanding needs it is hoped this document will support discussions about future investments in this sector. 2020-03-24T18:15:20Z 2020-03-24T18:15:20Z 2017-04 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/669611584940298603/Tonga-Early-Warning-Systems-Needs-Assessment http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33468 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Risk and Vulnerability Assessment East Asia and Pacific Oceania Tonga
