About the project:

The Vanuatu Community-based Climate Resilience Project (VCCRP) is the largest community-based, climate change adaptation project ever delivered in Vanuatu. Largely funded under the Green Climate Fund (GCF), with support from the Vanuatu and Australian Governments and Save the Children Australia, it has been designed to reduce the climate-related vulnerabilities of communities across all six provinces of Vanuatu. The Project is focussed on developing locally led approaches and will increase communities’ resilience to climate variability and extremes to ensure a good quality of life in the face of continuing climate change.

The VCCRP is a partnership between the Vanuatu Government through the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-Hazards, Energy, Environment and Disaster Management, and Save the Children Vanuatu working alongside the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry and Biosecurity, Ministry of Fisheries, Ocean and Maritime Affairs and Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources. Save The Children Australia is the Accredited Entity that oversees the project and liaises with the Green Climate Fund. The VCCRP is a six-year initiative (October 2022 – October 2028) implemented in 29 Area Councils across all 6 provinces in Vanuatu.
