CARE INTERNATIONAL IN VANUATU
CARE Vanuatu is part of the global CARE International confederation, which helps poor and vulnerable people in more than 93 countries around the world. CARE has been in Vanuatu since 2008, working with communities to build resilience to disasters and climate change shocks and increase women and girls’ involvement in community and national leadership.
Leftemap Sista II (July 2017-June 2021)
From 2014 to 2017, CARE implemented the Leftemap Sista I (LSI) project, designed to address the underlying causes of gender inequality in Vanuatu with a focus on Tafea Province. The project worked at national, provincial and community levels to promote women and girls’ leadership, skills development and economic empowerment focusing on the disadvantages and inequities that women and young women face. Based on a 2016 formative evaluation of CARE’s gender equality work, a second phase, Leftemap Sista II (LSII) was designed which built upon the successes and learning of LSI. A Mid-Term Evaluation of LSII was conducted in December 2019 which produced findings on progress-to-date against selected indicators and provided recommendations for remaining implementation.
LSII aims to support women, young women, and girls, including those with a disability, in rural and remote areas in Vanuatu to realise their rights to live free from violence, have increased economic opportunity and capacity to participate meaningfully in decisions that affect their lives in peace time and disaster. The first outcome area focusses on women’s access to and control of decision making of economic resources and the second focusses on reducing tolerance of violence against women and girls. Key interventions under these outcomes include:
Outcome 1:
- Support for women’s economic empowerment groups through a variety of approaches including a partnership with Nasi Tuan and connecting with technical trainers
- Confidence and leadership workshops for women
- Family Financial Management workshops for group members and their intimate partners
- Support for Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLA)
Outcome 2:
- Community dialogues with male gatekeepers
- Confidence and leadership workshops for women
- Good Relationships Free from Violence workshops with both men and women
- Violence and Women and Girls (VAWG) prevention and response workshops with CARE staff, community members and service providers.
The current LSII project is coming to an end (June 2022) and CARE is undertaking a formative evaluation that will reflect on how LSII has achieved progress against outcomes, and to produce recommendations on priorities for taking forward work within the context of CARE Australia’s ANCP Design Framework.
