This fact sheet contains a brief overview on the Green Climate Fund Readiness Programme's objective, background, deliverables, and more.
The Vanuatu Infrastructure Strategic Investment Plan 2015 – 2024 (VISIP 2015) sets out an optimal set of strategic infrastructure investments for Vanuatu. Further, it suggests how to fund and implement these investments, and recommends institutional developments for planning effective, practical, and sustainable, infrastructure in the context of identified and expected financing over the coming decade. VISIP 2015 will be considered for adoption with the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP), which the Government of Vanuatu (GoV) is expected to approve in early 2015.
The National Advisory Board (CC&DRR) approved at its meeting on February 02 2017 (minutes available on request) the establishment of a Climate Finance Working Group (hereafter referred to as CFWG). This group was previously referred to as the NIE Taskforce.
The purpose of the directory is to help connect climate finance with those who need it. Climate finance refers to financing channelled by national, regional, and international entities for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
This edition covers the period from July to December 2017. The PEBACC Project has progressed from baseline studies called Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) to Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Options Assessments and Implementation Plans for each project site. We are pleased to share with you brief updates from our sites in Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu as we move to implementation of demonstration projects over the next 2.5 years.
We value your support and partnership and we look forward to a closer working relationship in 2018.
A comprehensive mapping (undertaken by GIZ) of Vanuatu's private sector agencies involved in Climate Change & Disaster Risk Reduction activities.
GCF has introduced a new application process for smaller-scale projects or programmes:
Do you have a project that is ready for scaling up, and has the potential for transformation to adapt and/or mitigate to climate change?
- Does it require a GCF contribution of up to USD 10 million?
- Are the environmental and social risks and impacts minimal?
If so, your proposal could benefit from the Simplified Approval Process.
Technical Need Assessment (TNA) for Vanuatu is funded by the UNDP partering with the GIZ. The objective of the TNA is to firstly identified priority sectors in the mitigation processes. The NAB has approved of the energy and waste to be considered for this TNA.

Vanuatu is the fourth biggest Forum Islands Country in terms of population (273,000 in 2016), the fifth biggest
country in terms of land mass, and the twelfth biggest country in terms of Exclusive Economic Zone. It is a
young country, with 66% of its population being less than 30 years old.
Most of Vanuatu’s population still engages in own-account production, mostly vegetables (97%), but also livestock
(86%), and fish (58%). Overall, the weight of the Agriculture, Fishing and Forestry sector (own-account
