Evidence snapshot for Seychelles
Seychelles has undertaken significant reforms across multiple policy areas in recent years. In 2020, the government replaced its domestic violence law to criminalize multiple forms of abuse and bar complaint withdrawal, following research showing gender-based violence cost 4.6% of GDP; the Ministry recorded 371 domestic-violence reports in 2019 alone. The country has expanded teacher digital-skills training through a programme that trained 395 teachers across schools, and in 2026 approved a National AI in Education Framework with pilots in ten schools, though no outcome data from these education initiatives has yet been published. In marine conservation, Seychelles expanded its marine protected areas to 30% of its EEZ (22 million hectares) through debt-for-nature financing, with a conservation fund distributing $5.3 million to 96 local projects.
