femLINKpacific Women's Weather Watch — Community Women Leading Disaster Early Warning and Climate Response, Fiji (2004–present)

femLINKpacific, a Fiji-based women's media organisation, created the Women's Weather Watch (WWW) in 2004 after floods in Vanua Levu revealed that rural women were never consulted about their disaster experiences.

The programme links roughly 350 trained rural women monitors via SMS and community radio to the Fiji Meteorological Service and National Disaster Management Office; each monitor relays real-time weather and preparedness information into her community, with an explicit mandate to reach women with disabilities and LGBTQI+ women.

In a four-month window (January-April 2016), femLINKpacific documented engagement with 165 community women-led groups, representing over 48,000 women and 99,593 households. The World Meteorological Organization formally recognised WWW as a gender best practice in disaster risk reduction, UN Women drew on the model for its Pacific Women's Resilience to Disasters work, and it was later adapted for Vanuatu.

No independent peer-reviewed impact evaluation exists; the evidence rests on WMO recognition and on femLINKpacific's and ActionAid Australia's own documentation, with no published cost-effectiveness data.
