Project Code: P173278

 

  1. Background

A long-term vision of the Government of Vanuatu (GoV) is to provide potable water, sanitation, roads, drainage and electricity to low-income households for the largest number of citizens.  To address this, the International Development Agency is supporting the GoV with the Vanuatu Affordable and Resilient Housing Development Project (VARS).[1]  Aims of the Project include developing a phased, 10-year, risk-informed Land Development and Investment Strategy (LDIS) for the Great Port Vila area, and to implement selected investments and associated institutional and policy strengthening measures. This includes: (a) basic area upgrading of four informal settlements (Ohlen Mataso, Seaside, Tokyo and Anamburu); (b) developing a 10 ha ‘sites-and-services’ (greenfield) lower-middle income residential area subdivision; (c) expansion or rehabilitation (as required) of off-site infrastructure focusing on flood management, mitigation; and (d) implementing measures for transformative institutional capacity strengthening of responsible Government of Vanuatu and sub-national agencies for planning, financing, and implementing the 10-year LDIS.

The proposed Project will be implemented by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources (MoLNR), supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), Ministry of Infrastructure and Public Utilities (MIPU), the Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation, Shefa Provincial Council, and Port Vila City Council.

The development objective of the Project is to (i) improve access to and resilience of infrastructure and services in selected settlements, and (ii) strengthen relevant public institutions’ systems to manage human settlement.  The project will involve four components as follows:
