Vanuatu National Youth Council

The team will follow up with elections in SHEFA/ Port Vila and MALAMPA at a later date.

So far TAFEA and TORBA youth councils have elected new executives.

Six other youth councils will hold their elections no later than April. 

VNYC’s Principal Administrator, Joe Kalo said the council is mandated to support young people and it is responsible to ensure that election of youth councils are done in accordance with the Decentralization Act (CAP230).

The agreement also enables funding support of VT4,000,000.

Oxfam in Vanuatu Partnership Coordinator under the Gender Justice & Youth Livelihoods Program, Hillary Garae, signed the agreement with Henry Vira, the Director General, Youth Development & Sports Ministry.

The purpose of this MoU is to outline the commitments made by Oxfam in Vanuatu and the VNYC in the process of drafting national youth policies.

This will provide a foundation of documents to empower, support, protect and advance youth in Vanuatu.
