Evidence snapshot for Vanuatu
Vanuatu has pioneered community-led digital health and connectivity solutions to reach remote populations: a satellite telemedicine network on Maewo Island built for US$6,000 delivered over 1,250 doctor consultations in its first six months, helping 32 patients including six life-threatening cases, and a Smart Island programme across six Malekula villages trained over 1,000 residents in digital literacy and e-commerce skills from 2020 to 2024. On gender-based violence, 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 nationally between 2015 and 2017, responding to a documented 60% lifetime partner-violence prevalence among ever-partnered women. The evidence demonstrates practical progress in health access and violence-response services but does not quantify broader development or population-wide health outcomes.
