In July a request was received from the Government of Vanuatu for assistance in compiling a similar bibliography of material relating to Vanuatu's fisheries and marine resources. After discussions between the staff of the Fisheries Department and the FAO/UNDP Programme, it was decided that a search for appropriate documents would take place in Noumea and Suva during August and in Port Vila at the beginning of November. A total of 37 offices and collections were examined for both published and unpublished material appropriate for the bibliography. In addition,18 expatriate workers who had reviously worked in a fisheries related field in Vanuatu were contacted. The above work resulted in a list of 411 references which are arranged in this document by author and by subject. As the objective of this project was to produce a document as useful as possible to fisheries workers in Vanuatu, a "user-friendly" bibliographic style was adopted. It is strongly recommended that Fisheries Division personnel update this document periodically. The authors wish to acknowledge the encouragement and support of Mike Shepard in this project. The staff of the Department of Fisheries, especially Richard Kaltongga, Rave Robin, and Albert Carlot, were most helpful. In addition, the assistance of Rene Grandperrin, Luis Devambez, Marcus Chambers, and Hazel Wallace-Williams was much appreciated.

Because a suitable national consultant was unavailable at that time, SOPAC provided the services of its Energy Adviser. In addition to discussions in Port Vila, there were field trips to visit renewable energy projects (and potential project sites) on the islands of Efate and Espiritu Santo. Unfortunately the head of Government Energy Unit and several other key staff were unavailable for discussions during the mission’s visit. The local offices of the international oil companies were unwilling to provide any information on their product sales, an omission that has hindered some analysis. This report reviews the status of energy sector activities in Vanuatu through February 2004. An earlier draft of this report was reviewed by the Vanuatu National PIREP Committee (the National Advisory Committee on Climate Change), which provided thoughtful, useful and substantive feedback, and by Secretariat Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), United Nations Development Programme and others.

  • Vanuatu’S Economic Growth and Outlines the Economic Rationale for Intervention in the Domestic Shipping Sector

    Vanuatu’S Economic Growth and Outlines the Economic Rationale for Intervention in the Domestic Shipping Sector

    Interisland Shipping Support Project (RRP VAN 42392) ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT A. S ummary 1. This document assesses the factors constraining and contributing to Vanuatu’s economic growth and outlines the economic rationale for intervention in the domestic shipping sector. It analyses the projected economic returns for the support and infrastructure recommendations and concludes that investment in these proposed interventions will bring positive returns from supporting and facilitating interisland transport and trade, and thus increasing economic development. 2. There are three main issues surrounding domestic sea transport and trade: • A key barrier to economic growth in Vanuatu is the lack of efficient and reliable transport services for moving goods and people about the archipelago. This has caused people to produce only what is needed for short term local consumption with little thought to creating surplus for exchange, savings and growth. • Shipping services are hindered by poor support infrastructure, lack of compliance with safety requirements and an under resourced Ministry of Infrastructure and Public Utilities (MIPU). Neither the few remaining infrastructure facilities nor many of the ships in the aging domestic fleet receive proper maintenance. All need to be addressed if economic development is to occur and be sustained. • Over the last 30 years there has been numerous domestic shipping studies and recommendations, but little investment, reform, or improvement. There is a mounting risk that mistrust between ship operators and users of shipping services towards donors and central government that already exists will strengthen if action is not taken directly. 3. An effort has been made to evaluate the various project components or subprojects on their own merit individually as best as possible given specific site information and data availability.

Thus whether you eat or whether you drink, or anything you might do, in everything you do, do it in order that people will praise the greatness of God. 1 Cor 10:31 i A grammar of Maskelynes Acknowledgements Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the assistance given in discussions with John Lynch, Robert Early and Catriona Malau (formerly Hyslop) of the Pacific Languages Unit of the University of the South Pacific in Port Vila, and with my colleagues in the Vanuatu Group of SIL, especially Jeff Batcock, Jeremiah Chung, Ross McKerras, and Greg and Beth Ann Carlson. I also greatly appreciate the discussions and review of data by my parents, Alan and Phyllis Healey. I am very grateful to the Maskelyne people, especially those of Pelog (Pellonk) Village, who taught us their language. My family and I are truly members of the extended family there even though our work sometimes prevents us from fulfilling all that being family entails. I am particularly indebted to Edly Wakon who spent many long hours discussing and correcting my spoken and written language. During our translation work, Edly, John Weslee Josiah, Joel Ponani, Henry Christie, Jack Nombong, Caleb Malau and Malterrie Stanley were happy to go off on tangents and discuss language.
