Vanuatu Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Boulekone is leaving her post after 12 years of service to the chamber.

VCCI said “She has contributed so much during her time and has always performed her best in representing and advocating for the private sector of Vanuatu. Please join us in wishing her all the best for all her future endeavours.”

She will be serving her last day in the chamber on Wednesday 22 February.

VVCI has advertised for the role of general manager.

The grant is under the Second Policy Stimulus.

The government will issue a grant of Vt15,000 per month for a period of eight months to small businesses eligible for the SBG. This is a total of Vt120,000.

The grant was designed to support monthly cash flow until the end of 2021 for all businesses with an annual turnover of less than Vt4 million.

VCCI Stimulus Team Leader, Esther Wenau, said the Ministry of Finance is yet to make the payments which will be backdated.

Applications are being accepted until 30 September.

The website has social media pages on Facebook and LinkedIn in a concerted effort to improve its communication with the Vanuatu private sector, Vanuatu government and other strategic partners.

To ensure all Vanuatu’s business community can access the VCCI’s website content, the online platform is available in all of Vanuatu’s official languages of Bislama, English and French.
