    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.

  • 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.

It covers the period from 19 to 20 March 2015. The next report will be issued on or around 21 March 2015. Highlights Around 166,000 people, more than half of Vanuatu’s population, have been affected by Tropical Cyclone Pam on 22 islands. Food stocks and water reserves are being exhausted and will not last more than a couple of weeks across the affected islands. The Government-led joint Initial Rapid Needs Assessments concluded on 20 March. Access to affected communities is still hindered in Emae Island and in the eastern part of Pentecote Island. An estimated 50-90 per cent of local dwellings have been damaged by gale-force winds. Fuel stocks are running low across the affected islands in Vanuatu while electricity is mostly unavailable and generators are essential. Around 65,000 people are in need of temporary emergency shelter. Schools postponed classes for two weeks with a start date of 30 March. There is an immediate need for temporary safe learning spaces for 50,000 to 70,000 children. 16 166,000 3,995 65,000 11,800 500 Confirmed fatalities People affected on People in 39 People in need of Households targeted Schools estimated to 22 islands evacuation centres temporary shelter for food distributions be damaged Source: Vanuatu National Disaster Management Office Situation Overview The Government-led joint Initial Rapid Needs Assessments concluded on 20 March confirmed the most urgent needs as water, food, shelter and health across the 22 affected islands in Vanuatu.

  • Kastom and Conservation: a Case Study of the Nguna-Pele Marine
    KASTOM AND CONSERVATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE NGUNA-PELE MARINE PROTECTED AREA NETWORK by DANYEL ADDES (Under the Direction of Peter Brosius) ABSTRACT In Vanuatu, the Melanesian archipelago formally known as New Hebrides, traditional marine tenure has become a center piece of marine conservation efforts. However, its influence is relatively slight in the area of the Nguna-Pele Marine Protected Area Network (NPMPA), a village-based conservation organization. The NPMPA has therefore adopted a westernized conservation model of Marine Protected Areas, or MPAs. As it pursues its conservation goals, the NPMPA must continually negotiate between the expectations, tools, and methodologies, of two powerful normative discourses: traditional knowledge and national indigenous identity, and marine biology and conservation ecology. This case study uses discourse analysis to investigate the interactions of western conservation discourse and traditional forms of knowledge surrounding the management of marine resources. Findings suggest that the adaptation of western conservation practice has resulted in conservation discourse that situates agency in documents and conservation tools more often than in human action.
