DownloadSolve Challenge
There are three challenges on offer - please read up on them and decide as team what you would like to take on.
Option 1 - Water Challenge
Coastal communities in Papua New Guinea are grappling with the dual challenge of accessing clean water and coping with the escalating impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels and unpredictable weather patterns.
Devise innovative and sustainable solutions to address these pressing issues, with a focus on integrating climate resilience into the water supply systems of these vulnerable communities.

DownloadOption 2 - Sanitation and Hygiene Challenge
Pari, a traditional village in Papua New Guinea, faces critical sanitation issues due to the reliance on overhung toilets positioned above the sea. This setup results in direct waste discharge into the ocean, leading to contamination of coastal waters and subsequent waste washing up on the beach, posing significant health risks to both residents and the environment.
Design innovative technical solutions capable of capturing, containing, and treating waste to ensure environmentally sustainable disposal practices.

DownloadOption 3 - WASH Workforce Challenge
In Papua New Guinea, there is limited qualifications for people wanting to enter the water and sanitation workforce. University and vocational courses are limited; career pathways are not well-defined and often people working as WaSH professionals have gaps in knowledge, technical skills and qualifications. There is limited opportunity for water-related engineering study, career development and women's workforce and study participation are lower than men.
Design innovative solutions or campaigns aimed at advocating educational institutions to prioritise and promote WaSH-related programs. The goal is to enhance educational opportunities and bridge knowledge gaps.
