Fiji has a population of approximately 868,000, of which 53% is urban. By 2030, it is estimated that two in three Fijians will be living in the country’s urban centers. While poverty rates in Fiji are highest in rural areas, the rapid growth of peri-urban squatter settlements implies that the majority of poor people in Fiji now live in and around urban areas. Fiji’s urban centers comprise two cities, 12 incorporated towns, and seven unincorporated towns. Fiji’s urban sector accounts for 60% of the country’s gross domestic product, with the share of the GSA estimated at 40%.3 The GSA, which consists of Suva City, the national capital as well as three incorporated towns of Lami, Nasinu, and Nausori and their surrounding peri-urban areas—accounts for about 57% of the urban population. By 2023, the population of the GSA is expected to grow by 12.8%.4 Poverty incidence over 2003–2009 in Fiji’s urban areas ranged from 21% in the Central Division to 52% in the Northern Division. Fiji has achieved its Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7 targets for both water supply and sanitation. The proportion of Fiji’s urban population with access to safe water rose from 94% in 1990 to 100% by 2012, while the proportion of the urban population with access to improved sanitation increased from 85% to 92% over the same period.6 However, rapid urbanization has put serious strain on existing infrastructure and has eroded the gains made by government to improve water supply to urban areas. Some urban dwellers now experience intermittent water supply, water shortages and cuts.
