Project description: [Brief description of project, key activities and outputs, how will it be implemented?]
The Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP) is a regional partnership program of the Asian Development Bank to support selected countries in Asia and the Pacific region, including Vanuatu to (i) scale up local adaptation solutions in alignment with national climate priorities; (ii) finance local adaptation solutions that explicitly address the climate and poverty nexus and are implemented in the context of large-scale poverty reduction programs; and (iii) work with local institutions and communities to build long-term capacity for dealing with climate shocks and stresses. By doing so, the CRPP aims to address the points of procedural and distributive justice so that the people most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change can engage in a fair process and receive a fair share of the benefits of adaptation efforts.
The CRPP comprises two separate but interlinked components; the CRPP Trust Fund (TF) focusing on upstream support to strengthen the enabling environment required for implementing local adaptation measures at scale; and the CRPP Investment Fund (IF) focusing on the efficient roll-out of local adaptation measures through downstream investments.
Project
The proposed project will provide solar photovoltaic-based electricity to around 4,860 rural households (12% of total rural households) in Vanuatu through solar mini-grid and solar home systems leveraging from the National Green Energy Fund (NGEF) investment program supported by the Government of Vanuatu (GoV), Solar for Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) piloted through the Refrigeration for Vanuatu Rural Tourism Operators Project (SRVRTOP), and solar systems for off-grid primary schools.

To reduce the vulnerability of rural communities in Tonga,Vanuatu and Samoa to the impacts of Climate chnage,the proposed project will enable the transition from conventional to climate-resilient, regenerative agricultural (CRRA) practices. Through these practices, the delivery of agricultural ecosystem services will be enhanced and dependence on external inputs reduced.
To support the adoption of CRRA, the proposed project will:
strengthen cross-sectoral partnerships
enhance market incentives for CRRA
Provide training and support for farmers and
implement robust monitoring and knowledge-sharing initiatives to support learning and adaptive implementation of CRRA

ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
GCF defines ESMP as “a document that contains a list and description of measures that have been identified for avoiding adverse environmental and social impacts, including, where appropriate transboundary risks and impacts, or minimising them to acceptable levels, or to mitigate and compensate them and [is] usually the main output of the [environmental and social impact assessment] ESIA process”.

An Indigenous led Network of community Environmental Champions, working together for the protection of biodiversity, sustainable development, customary governance, and climate/disaster resilience within the Santo Mountain Chain Key Biodiversity Area of the Western Coastline of the Island of Espiritu Santo in the Republic of Vanuatu
Mission
The Santo Sunset Environment Network (SSEN) shall serve as a catalyst to support and empower individuals, villages and communities in the West Coast and North West Santo region in improving environmental protection and conservation; and to influence the design and implementation of effective, inclusive, resilient and sustainable development strategies in keeping with traditional livelihoods.
Charitable Purposes
To contribute to its Mission, the Network’s charitable purposes include the following:
(a) To prevent environmental degradation by affirming and amplifying existing knowledge, skills and expertise of the people of West and North West Santo
(b) Building new skills, knowledge, awareness and capacity in areas of environment, climate change and other topics
(c) Promoting and enabling of traditional knowledge concerning issues of environmental protection and sustainable development.
(d) Reduce negative human impacts on the environment
(e) Facilitate a sustainable transformation in the way West and North West Santo communities use resources, including on the land, forests, freshwater, the ocean, atmosphere, and energy.
(f) To prioritize sustainable development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
(g) To inspire government, business, community, and individual action related to the environment.
(h) To organize, support, inspire and coordinate Network members to work together and speak with one voice.

This report describes current trends and Vanuatu’s development ambitions and relates them to circular economy solutions. The most promising recommendations were selected at a national workshop and are based on an analysis of resource use, asset use and waste disposal in the country. The report’s structure and the analytical approach follows that of an earlier Shifting Paradigms project for the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan.10 The report is structured as follows:Part 1: Current situation, developments and ambitions: This part describes the current situation in Vanuatu and important trends going forward. It also highlights which of Vanuatu’s policies and development ambitions align well with a transition to a more circular and low-carbon future.Part 2: Thinking in flows and stocks: Part 2 maps out the material resources used in Vanuatu, distinguishing domestic products from imports. Data visualization helps explain how the use of products, materials and half-fabricates relate to GHG emissions in Vanuatu and emissions associated with the production of imported goods and services. No country starts from scratch when making the transition to a circular economy. Therefore, Part 2 also describes existing circular economy initiatives. They provide the basis from which to expand or develop new initiatives that rely on similar principles and enabling conditions.Part 3: Circular economy strategies: Stakeholders and experts from Vanuatu identified and selected the most promising circular opportunities, which are described in Part 3. The strategies were selected based on their material potential and their ability to reduce GHG emissions by 2030, and to contribute to the development ambitions described in Part 1.
