The National Advisory Board on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction (NAB) with support from the Pacific Risk Resilience (PRR) programme organized a one-day inception workshop for a nation-wide the Risk Governance Assessment in Vanuatu.
The objective of this Assessment was to analyze current climate and disaster risk capacities, strengths and weaknesses at all levels (national, provincial and local), evaluate critical institutional functions and their performance by Vanuatu’s national institutions, and suggest mechanisms and improvements to make best use of strengths or remedy weaknesses. Most importantly, the Risk Governance Assessment will inform and contribute to the development of a much needed climate change and disaster risk reduction policy to benefit of the people of Vanuatu.
