Peter is based out of Cairns in tropical North Queensland and Peter's activities area mostly focused on the Pacific Island Nations. In this interview, we are going to discuss his current projects in Papua New Guinea and in Vanuatu. Peter takes us into the villages where he works, sharing how he approaches communities and sharing how he has been successful in implementing water supply, environmental monitoring and sanitation delivery projects. In this interview, we discuss community perceptions of water, community assets vs private assets for water and the potential and the very real role of community water champions for community water stewardship as well as the role of the boutique consulting firm in international development.
