    Developing healthier and more inclusive communities through sport Vanuatu The impact of development through sport Results of research conducted on the Australian Sports Outreach Program in Vanuatu The Australian Sports Outreach Program in Vanuatu is working with local communities to help address important development challenges, including health related behaviours, young people’s engagement, and quality of life for women and people with disability. Through a partnership with Vanuatu’s Department of Youth Development, Sports and Training, three discreet projects in five provinces are being delivered through the Nabanga Sport for Development program. With Australia’s support, Nabanga is developing healthier, more inclusive and more cohesive communities through sport. Sport is well placed to help combat non-communicable diseases by getting people more active more often, and by providing opportunities to deliver messages on other risk factors including diet, tobacco and alcohol. When used strategically, sport can also address barriers to inclusion, and establish and build relationships within and between communities.

Activities carried out by the upland team(Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock), Fisheries team and the Department of Local Authorities team(DLA). Upland team established a permanent nursery at Epi and planted the vetiver grasses, bandanas and natangura along the eroded coastal areas from Malvasi village to Burumba village at West Epi. !1 19 DECEMBER 2016 REPORTING PERIOD SEPT - DEC Fisheries team conducted the coastline assessment starting from Rovobay village to Malvasi Village and deployed 4 Fish Aggregating Device (FADs) at Malvasi village, Burumba VCAP Project Board village, Ponkovio village and Yuopuna village. These FADs Meeting At Rovo were deployed for assisting the communities to go fishing Bay, Epi. around these FADs so to preserved and conserve their marine resources along the reefs. Vetiver grasses which were planted along the eroded coastal areas will filter the sediments flow from upland streams during heavy rain falls down to the reefs and this will improve the ecosystem of the marine lives in the reefs to reproduce again under the clean habitat. Fisheries team also conducted the coastal assessment at Aniwa island especially in the lagoon where the mangroves habitat for the marine resources are located.

  • 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.

    Situation report issued by NDMO Vanuatu This report covers the period from 27 March 2015 To be added to the Vanuatu NDMO Situation Report distribution list please subscribe at: http://eepurl.com/bhm_Nr Highlights Significant populations in and around urban and peri-urban areas of Port Vila are now being assisted with shelter and non-food items, including kitchen sets, tarpaulins and tools. Government-led food distributions have almost completed on Efate Island, reaching approximately 92,000 people. Public health text messaging commenced on 27 March to complement daily public health messaging through radio and print is on-going across all provinces. NDMO has arranged for temporary evacuation of vulnerable groups from Mataso Island who will be supported by community networks in Port Vila In close collaboration with the Government, the ETC and its network of partners are providing Internet connectivity services at 7 sites across Sanma, Shefa and Tafea provinces. Services are planned for an additional 5 sites in the coming week in Torba, Penama, Sanma, Malampa and Shefa. Situation Overview International assistance including Australia, New Zealand, France, the UK, the USA, the UN and international NGOs continue to support the Government-led response. Military air and sea assets and personnel including Australian Defence Force, New Zealand Defence Force and the French Military, among others, have played an important role in the immediate life-saving phase of the response effort. With a number of foreign medical teams completing their missions, concerns are being raised about the remaining health needs due to the significant damage to existing health facilities. Given the logistical constraints of this emergency, ensuring that the logistics pipeline is maintained and strengthened over the coming weeks is critical for life-saving assistance reaching all people in need.
