The Department of Water Resources has established a programme called the National Implementation Plan for Safe and Secure Community Drinking Water.

Here is a link to a Guide on the programme. National Implementation Plan Link

This programme will help coordinate support to Vanuatu communities across all six provinces. Central government, provincial government, area councils and communities are all involved.

Communities will learn to identify what makes their water supply unsafe, and will learn what needs to be done to improve this. Some things can be done immediately and by the community. Other improvements will need technical and financial assistance. The programme includes a process for applying for funds for major improvements.

The programme is important to achieve Vanuatu’s national goal to ensure all people have reliable access to safe drinking water and sanitation infrastructure. It incorporates the requirements of the Water Resources Management Act .

If you community would like support with your water system, please request assistance by reaching out to your area administrator and Provincial Department of Water Resources officer.
