Evidence snapshot for Vanuatu
Vanuatu faces severe gender-based violence, with 60% of ever-partnered women having experienced lifetime physical and/or sexual partner violence, and the Vanuatu Women's Centre has delivered 6,574 counselling sessions and facilitated roughly 87% of family protection orders issued between 2015 and 2017. The country is expanding digital infrastructure and skills: the Smart Island Digital Hub trained over 1,000 community members in digital literacy, business, cybersecurity and e-commerce skills from 2020 to 2024. The Loru Forest Project demonstrates indigenous-led climate action, with the Serakar Clan managing carbon rights over 293 hectares of rainforest and winning the UN's 2019 Equator Prize, though the reported carbon-credit figures and beneficiary numbers vary across sources.
