- Description of Services and Location:
The Department of Water Resources (DoWR) under the auspices of the Ministry of Lands and Natural
Resources, was set up to ensure sustainable and equitable access to safe water and sanitation for the people of Vanuatu to support improved public health and promote social and economic development.
In 2017, the National Water Advisor Council (NWAC) approved a ‘National Implementation Plan for Safe and Secure Drinking Water’ (NIP). The NIP is a national framework for achieving Vanuatu’s vision of 100% access to safely managed drinking water by 2030.
The NIP defines 2 key implementation mechanisms:
- ‘Drinking Water Safety and Security Plans’ (DWSSP) which is a community level planning tool and data gathering mechanism that enables the DoWR to plan and implement water infrastructure investments; and
- the ‘Capital Assistance Programme’ (CAP) which is the financing and procurement mechanism that allows DoWR to deliver water infrastructure projects for communities that have completed a DWSSP
The NIP aims to complete DWSSPs for all 2,000 Vanuatu communities by 2030. Provincial authorities have identified the following locations for DWSSPs.
