Fifth National Report
FIFTH NATIONAL REPORT Executive Summary Vanuatu is an array of 83 volcanic islands that were formed during the Miocene Era. Her geographical location means that Vanuatu’s biological diversity has developed commonalities with Pacific Island Countries in close proximity such as that of Fiji and Solomon Islands. Vanuatu is fundamentally an agricultural society, where the majority of the population is involved in farm and fishing activities, either for subsistence, livelihood or cash income. The Overarching Productive Sector Policy 2012-2017 also identifies agriculture, forestry and fisheries as priority areas for economic development. In 2013, the Vanuatu National Statistics Office estimated the population of Vanuatu to be 264,000 people, with 75% of the population living in the rural areas. A large portion of the population still depends heavily on the Vanuatu productive sector therefore, the Government has a crucial role to play in defining a policy and institutional framework which both enables and encourages good participation and high performance from all sector stakeholders. The country’s development goals and priorities in the Priorities and Action Agenda (PAA) 2006-2015 identify the productive sector as an engine for investment, economic growth and employment. The sector’s contribution to the overall economic growth has required a strategic commitment by the Government. This is so the Government can support and facilitate an enabling environment for private sector operators. The need to protect and conserve the resources that are critical elements of the productive sector saw Vanuatu commit itself internationally to the Convention on Biological Diversity in the 1992. Since its ratification of this Convention, Vanuatu has made significant progress in ensuring it meets all of its obligations. -
C. Household Living (Dwelling) Conditions
C. HOUSEHOLD LIVING (DWELLING) CONDITIONS 53 Living conditions vary considerably across Vanuatu, based in part on access to infrastructure and utilities. Those living outside urban areas and towns tend to go without electricity and often lack piped water and sewage systems. On most islands, almost all households mainly rely on wood or coconut shell for cooking – even in Port Vila almost half of households still cook using these sources. In the more urbanized parts of the country, houses have concrete or wood floors. Many households in Vanuatu live in basic conditions. For instance, even though traditional materials appear to be widely used for housing across the country, only 17% of households report living in dwellings with walls made of makeshift or improvised materials. A generally low access to electricity in Vanuatu is an area of concern. At the national level, only 38% of households report having electricity (from main grid, solar, or own generator) as a main source of lighting. Outside of the key urban areas (Port Vila and Luganville), less than 20% of households have access to the main grid, and even that number may be driven by those households that live close to provincial centers. In fact, in most ACs, less than 2% of the population has access to the main grid. Solar power has become an important source of electricity, especially in more remote locations. In some ACs, up to 50% of households report reliance on solar power as the main source of lighting. The national average for this source is 6.3% (as of 2009). Only about 2% of the population relies on small petrol generators, which could be a reflection of high costs of fuel. -

VANUATU – SATELLITE IMAGE DETECTED DAMAGE ESTIMATES Version 1.0 UNOSAT Activation: TC-2015-000023-VUT 20 April 2015 Geneva, Switzerland
VANUATU – SATELLITE IMAGE DETECTED DAMAGE ESTIMATES Version 1.0 UNOSAT Activation: TC-2015-000023-VUT 20 April 2015 Geneva, Switzerland Description On 14 March 2015 tropical cyclone Pam made landfall over the island nation of Vanuatu and caused widespread damage and destruction. The International Charter for Space and Major Disasters was activated on 12 March 2015 by UNITAR/UNOSAT on behalf of UNOCHA. UNITAR/UNOSAT products and geographic datasets are available at http://www.unitar.org/unosat/maps/VUT. The table below provides satellite image detected damage statistics for regions of Vanuatu. Figures are based upon analysis of satellite imagery acquired on 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 March 2015, as well as data from outside sources such as Open Street Map. It is important to note the presence of limitations in these data sources and that this assessment is not a field survey and should be treated with caution. This document is part of an on-going satellite monitoring program of UNITAR/UNOSAT for the Vanuatu cyclone in support of international humanitarian assistance and created to respond to the needs of UN agencies and their partners.

Ecosystems, Climate Change PORT VILA and Development Scenarios V A N U A T U 2.4.2 Coastal Available results for coastal ecosystem services provision and demand are limited to coral reef habitats. Table 2.8 is derived from diving surveys to derive percent coral cover, personal communications from Port Vila workshop participants, divers, and other interested persons, and author’s personal knowledge. Figure 2.9 Vanuatu coral reef 2.4.2.1 Diver questionnaire Four diving instructors from two recreational diving companies in Port Vila were interviewed. Three divers had been diving regularly in Port Vila for over twenty years, and the fourth for six months. All divers had extensive knowledge of coral and fish species in Port Vila, and an adequate to good understanding of reef ecosystems. The divers were asked questions regarding their perception of coral condition, fish and seagrass abundance, as well as trends and threats to the ecosystems they dive in. The divers were asked to rate reef condition as poor, medium or high for all dive sites. Sites with less than a quarter (25%) live coral cover were classified as poor. Sites with over 70% live coral cover were classified as high. For each reef, the diver ratings were compared, and where there was congruence with three or more perspectives, this rating was used.

Situation report issued by NDMO Vanuatu This report covers the period from 18 March 2015 Highlights The Vanuatu Government continues to manage and coordinate relief efforts across all affected areas. Joint Rapid Assessments carried out in Tanna, Erromango, Anatom, Futuna, Epi, and Emae on 18 March. Australian Defense Force, ADF compiled and issued a national damage assessment in support of coordination 1.0 Situation Overview The Vanuatu Government continues to manage and coordinate relief efforts. It has issued a directive that all international assistance must be approved before it can be mobilized, and then coordinated through official government channels. The commitment to coordination aims to ensure needs are identified and responded to in a systematic, efficient way as quickly as possible, avoiding duplication and ensuring that resources are targeted to communities in areas where they are most needed. The National Disaster Management Office is expanding its coordination structures and systems to provide support to the Government and responding relief agencies. United Nations has set up a Humanitarian Response Page as the central repository of documents generated in support of the coordination effort related to Tropical Cyclone Pam. The government-led joint initial rapid assessments continued on 18 March, broadening the reach to include islands in Tafea, Penama, Malampa and Shefa Provinces. The information collected will inform further response decisions. Islands assessed are: Tanna, Erromango, Anatom, Futuna, Epi, and Emae Results of aerial assessments of Tafea, Penama, Malampa and Shefa were published on 17 March. The ADF compiled and issued a national damage assessment report based on aerial reconnaissance. It details the impact of the cyclone of housing, infrastructure, communication assets, agriculture, water storage facilities, key public infrastructure and air and sea ports of entry.
