Evidence snapshot for Vanuatu
Vanuatu has developed multiple community-led digital connectivity and health initiatives in remote areas. The VITAL Network built a US$6,000 satellite telemedicine system on Maewo Island that logged over 1,250 doctor consultations in its first six months, helping 32 patients including six with life-threatening cases, while the Smart Island Digital Hub trained over 1,000 residents in six South Malekula villages in digital literacy, business, cybersecurity and e-commerce skills from 2020 to 2024. The Vanuatu Women's Centre and its 45 CAVAW committees delivered 6,574 counselling sessions in FY2018 and facilitated roughly 87% of family protection orders issued between 2015 and 2017, operating within a context where 60% of ever-partnered women have experienced lifetime partner violence. The evidence quantifies service delivery and reach but does not measure learning outcomes or sustained impact beyond initial implementation phases.
