Introduction About the Pacific Humanitarian Partnership regional meeting Previously known as the Pacific Humanitarian Team (PHT) regional meeting, the Pacific Humanitarian Partnership (PHP) regional meeting has been held annually since 2008. In 2014 it brought together more than 130 representatives involved in humanitarian action in the Pacific and this year’s event is set to be even bigger, reflecting current interest in humanitarian issues and specifically, the impact of El Niño on the region. As always, this meeting aims to strengthen the partnerships between actors and broaden the network of practitioners who are likely to collaborate in disaster preparedness and response. The agenda for the 2015 PHP features discussions around TC Pam and TC Maysak with a view to finding ways

  • Pacific Study (Focusing on Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu
    1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Hazard exposure 1.1. Pacific island countries (PICs) are vulnerable to a broad range of natural disasters stemming from hydro-meteorological (such as cyclones, droughts, landslide and floods) and geo-physical hazards (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis). In any given year, it is likely that Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu are either hit by, or recovering from, a major natural disaster. 1.2. The impact of natural disasters is estimated by the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative as equivalent to an annualized loss of 6.6% of GDP in Vanuatu, and 4.3% in Tonga. For Fiji, the average asset losses due to tropical cyclones and floods are estimated at more than 5%. 1.3. In 2014, Tropical Cyclone (TC) Ian caused damage equivalent to 11% to Tonga's GDP. It was followed in 2018 by damage close to 38% of GDP from TC Gita. In 2015, category five TC Pam displaced 25% of Vanuatu's population and provoked damage estimated at 64% of GDP. In Fiji, Tropical Cyclone Winston affected 62% of the population and wrought damage amounting to 31% of GDP, only some three and a half years after the passage of Tropical Cyclone Evan. 1.4. Vanuatu and Tonga rank number one and two in global indices of natural disaster risk. Seismic hazard is an ever-present danger for both, together with secondary risks arising from tsunamis and landslides. Some 240 earthquakes, ranging in magnitude between 3.3 and 7.1 on the Richter Scale, struck Vanuatu and its surrounding region in the first ten months of 2018.

  • Rapid Gender Analysis Cyclone Pam Vanuatu
    Photo Tom Perry, CARE Australia Rapid Gender Analysis Cyclone Pam Vanuatu 7 April 2015 Cyclone Pam In the aftermath of Cyclone Pam, Vanuatu has declared a State of Emergency across all six provinces. Shelter, food, health and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) are key needs. The United Nations estimates that the majority of Vanuatu’s population, spread over 22 islands, has been affected by Tropical Cyclone Pam. Understanding the impact of Cyclone Pam on women, men, boys and girls is crucial to deliver an effective response. CARE’s Rapid Gender Analysis of Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu analyses the different needs, capacities, and coping strategies of women, men, boys and girls. CARE’s Rapid Gender Analysis is built-up progressively; using a range of primary and secondary information to understand how gender roles and relations may change during a crisis. CARE’s Rapid Gender Analysis of Cyclone Pam, including its recommendations, will be revised as more information becomes available. Gender Relations: Secondary Data Review Like other Melanesian and Pacific countries, gender disparities in Vanuatu are significant. Vanuatu is a geographically spread out, linguistically and ethnically diverse archipelago with small population centres in isolated areas, which means reaching and providing services to all communities is costly and logistically challenging. 80% of ni-Vanuatu live in rural areas and 70% of the working population aged 15 years and over work in subsistence agriculture. Vanuatu can be characterized as a patriarchal society (although there are some matrilineal societies in some northern and central islands) in which women continue to face, at times severe inequalities, in all spheres of life: social, cultural, economic and political.

  • 1 Country Research on Natural Disasters And
    COUNTRY RESEARCH ON NATURAL DISASTERS AND TRADE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION 1.1. On 26 April 2018, World Trade Organization (WTO) Members approved research funded by the Permanent Mission of Australia to study the impact of natural disasters on trade. The first stage of this work involved examination of the effects of natural disasters on the trade of some recently disaster-affected countries, together with trade policy issues arising. The research looked at the experience of six WTO Members in three regions. Country study one examined Dominica and Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, country study two looked at Nepal in South Asia and country study three surveyed Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu in the Pacific. The research work was undertaken through a mixture of consultations with government and non-governmental organizations, together with desk research from published sources, including Trade Policy Reviews. 1.2. This note summarises the main findings of the three country research papers. A first section discusses natural hazards faced by the six Members together with the macroeconomic and trade impacts of recent natural disasters. Further sections deal with trade issues arising in disaster response, recovery and resilience among the same six recently disaster-affected WTO Members. NATURAL HAZARDS, MACROECONOMIC AND TRADE IMPACTS 1.3. Dominica, Fiji, Nepal, Saint Lucia, Tonga and Vanuatu face a range of hydro-meteorological hazards (e.g. drought, flooding, landslides and storms, including cyclones and hurricanes) and geo-physical risks (e.g. earthquakes, tsunami and volcanoes). To varying degrees, these events have curtailed economic growth, depressed exports and fuelled import growth, exerting pressure on the current account and debt levels.
