Benefiting Member States
Tonga Vanuatu
Small Island Developing States like the Pacific Island Countries represent some of the most climate change vulnerable and disaster prone countries in the world. With the overall objective of enhancing capacities of Pacific governments to address displacement risks and identify durable solutions, the project will contribute to ensuring that the governments of Vanuatu and Tonga can address displacement needs that arise in the context of disasters, integrating development principles into the humanitarian response. The project will support governments to build resilience and develop mechanisms for durable solutions at the individual, family, and community levels. Project activities are informed by the UN Secretary General's Action Agenda on Internal Displacement (Vanuatu) and the ongoing work of IOM's Evacuation Centre and Displacement Management Cluster (Tonga).
To contribute to the project’s objective, firstly, a costed implementation plan and protection-centred and gender-sensitive guidelines to support durable solutions will be developed (Output 1.1) and capacity strengthening activities will be conducted for national, sub-national and local actors within the Government of Vanuatu (Output 1.2), in order to strengthen the implementation of the National Policy on Climate Change and Disaster-Induced Displacement to support durable solutions for communities affected by displacement (Outcome 1). Secondly, capacity strengthening activities will be conducted for local communities and the Government of Tonga (Output 2.1), in order to establish plans and mechanisms to facilitate better preparedness and response to disaster and displacement risks (Outcome 2).
