In the second phase of the Tropical Cyclone (TC) Harold Livelihood Recovery Program for South Pentecost, the project team carried out a supervision mission to Ranwas, which is located in the Bunlap Zone.

A total of 516 people have benefited from the emergency Farm Field School program and through the establishment of two agroforestry nurseries, which have helped to improve and diversify the diets of the beneficiaries.

Prime Minister Charlot Salwai has also sought FAO’s assistance to build capacity in data collection and analysis with special regard to monitoring and reporting on the implementation of the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP).

The NSDP is a nationalization of the Sustainable Development Goals at the global level.

Salwai addressed a summit with the FAO in Rome last Saturday.

Vanuatu is particularly interested in climate resilience crops that will ensure food security especially post-disasters.
