Vanuatu is a country emerging in the geospatial arena with the most progresshappening over the last ten (10) years. The collection and collation of geospatial dataat the national level has been fragmented thus far. The national geospatial data policyis a step forward to address this and create an enabling environment forcentralization, coordination, management and dissemination of geospatial data.Vulnerability to climate change and disaster risks poses a threat to resilience andsustainable development in Vanuatu. This policy provides an avenue for the utilization ofgeospatial data to support progress towards a resilient nation by improving thecoordination, dissemination and use of geospatial data to inform decision making.

Persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual, orsensory impairments, which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full andeffective participation in society on an equal basis with others.5 Disability may be experiencedby people of any age – children, young and older people.
Everyone is entitled to the same rights and freedoms, regardless of their disability status. This isa fundamental principle of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons withDisabilities (CRPD), which Vanuatu ratified in 2008. However, persons with disabilities oftenlack equitable access to the same opportunities enjoyed by their peers without disabilities.Barriers such as negative attitudes and stigma, an inaccessible built environment, andexclusionary policies can restrict persons with disabilities from enjoying their rights toeducation, health care, employment and other opportunities.
Disability inclusive development is both a process and an outcome. The purpose of disabilityinclusive development is to realize an inclusive society that values diversity and engages personswith disabilities as participating members of society with equal rights. The disability inclusivedevelopment approach brings the disability perspective into all elements of national andcommunity development. It assesses and strengthens institutions, policies and programs so thatthey better take into account, and positively impact on, the lives of persons with disabilities.

Overall, the weight of the Agriculture, Fishing and Forestry sector (own-accountplus commercial) is still significant, at around 20% of the Gross Domestic Product. Most of the remainingGross Domestic Product (70%) is generated by the services sector.Vanuatu has bilateral diplomatic relations with around 70 countries.

The Vanuatu Ministry of Health aims to eliminate indigenous malaria transmission from Vanuatuby the end of 2023.This National Strategic Plan for Malaria Elimination in Vanuatu considers the findings andrecommendations of a comprehensive Malaria Program Review conducted in 2018 andextensive follow-up action, health system and financing analysis, impact modelling, anddeliberations by the national Malaria and Other Vector Borne Diseases Control Program andProvincial Health Managers, with the support of WHO and other key partners.To achieve its malaria control and elimination targets, the NVBDCP will work in closepartnership with provincial health services to ensure very high levels of prevention – primarilywith long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets – and universal access to quality-assured diagnosisand treatment are achieved and maintained. It will mobilise local communities and theirrepresentative bodies to adopt healthy behaviours and retain a high level of awareness of theimportance of malaria elimination to Vanuatu. Special attention will be given to employinginnovative approaches towards ensuring safe and effective treatment of Plasmodium vivax withprimaquine, including in remote and outer island settings.It will strengthen and maintain strong surveillance aimed at rapidly identifying, reporting andresponding to every case, and ensuring that every case is followed up within 60 days.Building on experience gained from elimination activities in Tafea province, the Program will useindoor residual insecticide spraying and mosquito breeding site management to selectivelyaccelerate the reduction in malaria transmission or to mitigate outbreaks in higher incidenceareas (based on increasingly precise stratification), and in transmission foci in elimination
