Contributing to Sustainable Growth and Poverty Alleviation through Mainstreaming Migration Management into Vanuatu’s Development Strategies

The project will contribute to the economic and social development of Vanuatu by supporting the Government of Vanuatu’s (GoVu) efforts to improve the mainstreaming of migration into its development planning and enhancing the Government’s ability to link migration into the sustainable investment, growth and poverty reduction strategy. Through the project’s technical assistance a range of migration management policy options will be identified, an implementation plan developed, and indicators and monitoring mechanisms established to track and evaluate its impacts over time, and provide the basis and means for its progressive reviews.

The project activities will be located and linked into the Government’s actions in its Priority Action Agenda 2006-2015 (PAA) and the Planning Long Acting Short (PLAS) national framework documents that guide national priorities, resource planning and actions.
