Fresh water for schools and communities in three provinces Compiled by Glenda Willie | Posted: Thursday, June 16, 2016 8:00 am A number of schools and communities in three provinces are going to have access to safe and fresh water, thanks to the realization of the desalination project. The most affected communities have been identified as small and flat and they include Norsup, Urpiv, Uri, Rano, Wala, Atchin and Vao on Malekula, Tutuba and Mafea Islands in East Santo, and Emae, Tongariki and Buninga, Makira and Mataso in the Shepherds Islands. According to the project’s operator, the Department of Geology, Mines and Rural Water Supplies, these communities meet the requirements and were to be supplied by four mobile units transported by boat from an island to another. Desalination This desalination project is an answer to a request expressed by the Prime Minister’s office concerned about water shortage in rainwater dependent islands. Funded through the Agreement of Regional Cooperation 2015 between France, New-Caledonia and Vanuatu, the project aims at providing water to schools and communities using water mobile desalination units during droughts periods such as El Nino few months ago. The desalination units will be under the responsibility of operators of Rural Water Supplies’ Services and Public Works in provinces announced which will ensure storage, maintenance and service of the units by boat. A training on good use and maintenance of these machines will be provided to the operators in Port- Vila today. After this training, the French Embassy will hand over the responsibility of the project to the Department of Geology, Mines and Rural Water Supplies to ensure a good coordination with all partners involved in this project: Department of Public Works, Energy Department, Department of Local Authorities, Ministry of Education and Training, National Disaster Management Office, provincial authorities and communities. This will also enable the Water Supplies Department to collect data on quantity and quality of water distributed in schools and communities. .

Topics in the Grammar and Documentation of South Efate, an Oceanic Language of Central Vanuatu
Topics in the grammar and documentation of South Efate, an Oceanic language of Central Vanuatu Nicholas Augustus Thieberger BA (Hons), MA Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2004 Department of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, University of Melbourne Abstract This thesis presents topics in the grammar of South Efate, an Oceanic language of Central Vanuatu as spoken in Erakor village on the outskirts of Port Vila. There has been no previous grammatical description of the language, which has been classified as the southernmost member of the North- Central Vanuatu subgroup of languages. In this description I show that South Efate shares features with southern Vanuatu languages, including a lack of serial verb constructions of the kind known for its northern neighbours and the use of an echo-subject marker. The phonology of South Efate reflects an ongoing change in progress, with productive medial vowel deletion and consequent complex heterorganic consonant clusters. A key feature of South Efate grammar is the grammaticalisation of a benefactive phrase in pre-verbal position. There is thus a discontinuous verbal complex including a closed class of auxiliary verbs that occur in a fixed order preceding the benefactive phrase and then the verb. Mood-marking is central to any utterance in South Efate and there is no grammatical expression of tense. The interplay between mood and aspect marking is an interesting feature of the language. The present research is set in the context of increasing attention being paid to the state of the world's smaller languages and their prospects for being spoken into the future.
