Health centre workers, school principals, community disaster and climate change committees and Vanuatu Red Cross Society branch officers from Shefa and Tafea Provinces participated in the training.
Currently, many locations in Vanuatu like offshore Efate islands, Aniwa are experiencing prolonged dry conditions with impacts such as limited water.
Drought is often-although not always-associated with El Niño in Vanuatu.
An El Niño event in 2015/2016 led to water shortages and crop failure causing health issues and school closure.
