    Summary:

    PACC Vanuatu - Demonstrating the integration of climate change risk reduction in road design in Epi, Shefa Province

    Adverse effects of increased precipitation and flooding, intense wave action and coastal erosion have eroded national roads around Epi despite regular maintenance and rehabilitation by government. The Project will assist the Government of Vanuatu and key stakeholders in the island of Epi to develop their capacity to employ multi-stakeholder decision-making systems to design and implement relocation of road infrastructure so as to increase resilience to climate change related risks.

    The overall PACC project will implement long-term adaptation measures to increase the resilience of a number of key development sectors in the Pacific islands to the impacts of climate change. This objective will be achieved by focusing on adaptation response strategies, policies and measures to bring about this result. The key development sectors this project will focus on are:

    1.      water resources management;
    2.      food production and food security; and
    3.      coastal zone and associated infrastructure (roads and breakwater).

    To ensure sustainability of the project, regional and national adaptation financing instruments will constitute a fourth component of the project
