The United States has given $US1.5 million to organisations in Fiji addressing climate adaptation and resilience.
A USAID spokesperson says the grants will help 49 vulnerable communities in Fiji and Samoa.
The Adventist Development and Relief Agency Samoa will receive about $US500,000 from the grant, and Live and Learn Environmental Education Fiji will be given close to a million dollars.
USAID deputy development advisor, Patrick Bowers, said the US government is committed to helping the Pacific's most vulnerable communities.
