Statement of the Problem:Small-scale fishers are negatively affected by climate change in Vanuatu. Livelihoods and health of coastalcommunities that heavily rely on farming and fishing for subsistence and incomes face serious risks. Aquaculture, marine protectedareas through natural resource management (NRM), and low-cost inshore fish aggregating device (FAD) can improve the economicconditions of coastal communities in Vanuatu. The purpose of this study is to assess the fisheries development strategies in Vanuatu,determine any economic benefits, and provide some policy recommendations for consideration by the national government.

2015 Nutrition country profile: Vanuatu

The 193 individual country profiles capture the status and progress of all UN Member States, and the 80+ indicators include a wealth of information on child, adolescent and adult anthropometry and nutritional status, in addition to intervention coverage, food supply, economics, and demography. This tool is particularly useful for nutrition champions at the country-level, as it presents a wide range of evidence needed to assess country progress in improving nutrition and nutrition-related outcomes.
