BACKGROUND
CARE in Vanuatu (CiV) is an International Humanitarian Aid Organization Fighting Global Poverty, with a special focus on working with women and girls to bring lasting change to their communities. CARE has been working in Vanuatu since 2008 helping communities to increase their resilience to disasters and climate change, respond to emergencies and to advance gender equality. CARE Vanuatu has a long-term program strategy which seeks to contribute to resilience and equality in Vanuatu where men, women, boys, and girls enjoy equal rights and opportunities.
CiV has three programmatic portfolios (Gender Equality, Resilience, and Inclusive Governance) involving a diverse range of donor funded projects, delivered in partnership with government and civil society. CARE’s gender equality program focuses on deep transformational change in social norms, women’s economic empowerment, intergenerational leadership, and violence prevention. CARE Vanuatu aims to work in coalition with other organizations focused on strengthening gender equality in Vanuatu and to contribute towards a movement for gender equality where all people live with safety and dignity and values partnerships with government and civil society. CARE is committed to strengthening local capacity and leadership and is investing in mentoring and supporting local staff in leadership positions through accompaniment and counterpart arrangements and partnership development.
THE PROJECT
The Inclusive Governance Project (IG) is working with communities and Area Councils to strengthen local governance and inclusive planning processes. The project is working with communities, Area Council(s), the Tafea Province, and the Department of Local Authorities, and aims to increase the active engagement of communities in Area Council Development planning processes and positively influence the quality, efficiency, and accountability with which planning, and service delivery is implemented. The project will be based on an adapted version of the CARE International Community Scorecard (CSC) approach. The CSC brings together the demand side and the supply side of a particular service, as well as relevant government officials, to jointly analyse issues underlying service delivery problems and develop joint plans for improvement.
