Vanuatu Climate Resilient Transport Project

New Vanuatu transport project will improve resilience to disasters, access to markets

The project involves the upgrade of the vital 65-kilometre South Santo Road, on Vanuatu’s second most-populated island of Espiritu Santo, to guard against potential climate impacts and natural disaster risks.

The project will significantly improve access to markets and essential services and contribute to faster, safer and more reliable road transport in Santo island.

Wider impacts will be felt across the country with 10 percent of Vanuatu’s total population to see benefits from the works and technical assistance.
