A Guide for Developing an Investigative Questioning Process
The process of investigative questioning, or inquiry, assists project managers to ask questions of individuals or groups, who know something, or a lot, about a particular area of interest to the interviewer. It is also about finding out information or needs on a subject which can be used to benefit those stakeholders/individuals e.g. through a project planning process. This publication provides initial guidance on the various investigative questioning processes that can be utilised.

Project Management Tools
Developing A Project Logic: A Guide for Project Design
For PacWastePlus it is expected that all teams designing activities will have developed some form of project logic in participation with their implementing partners. This will demonstrate the logic of your collaborative thinking and design, and clearly articulate the changes to which you hope to contribute. Project logic provides the basis for planning and implementing monitoring and evaluation at the project level.

Developing Monitoring and Evaluation Plan: A Guide for Project Designs
Building a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plan for a project assists to deliver the intended outcome, and if not, it should help you understand which elements should be modified to assist with delivering a successful project. This publication provides guidance on how to develop an M&E plan for not only PacWastePlus country projects but can also be used as a resource tool during the development of other donor-funded country projects as well.

Technical Report
Waste Audit Methodology: A Common Approach
A step-by-step manual for conducting comprehensive country waste audits in SIDs.
Over the course of 2018–19, it has also become apparent that there are a number of organisations currently working in this space with very similar requirements for waste data. Therefore, based on waste audits commissioned by PRIF in Tuvalu, a waste audit methodology has been developed that incorporates the materials required for national baseline data collection for the following projects as a minimum:
SPREP – PacWastePlus, PRIF – Regional Recycling Network, EU – EDF11, CCOA – Commonwealth Clean Oceans Alliance, World Bank – Regional Recycling Network, and UNEP – GEF
This report presents a comprehensive data collection methodology that makes provision for the data collection requirements for the above projects.
