Vanuatu Country Implementation Plan for 2023 – 2024

This Country Implementation Plan for 2023 – 2024 (CIP) builds upon the Pacific United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2023-2027 (Cooperation Framework) developed by the United Nations (UN) and 14 Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs). It has been developed through extensive and inclusive consultations with the Government of Vanuatu and the UN development system in Vanuatu, including non-resident entities. The CIP aims to define the UN actions and deliverables in Vanuatu to help achieve the outcomes of the Cooperation Framework and is firmly anchored to country-level needs and structures. The UN and the Government of Vanuatu are committed to working together to achieve the national development priorities, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and other internationally agreed development goals and treaty obligations. The CIP will guide the joint efforts, and the collective results expected will help Vanuatu to ensure all people are equal and free to exercise their fundamental rights, enjoy gender equality and peace, remain resilient to existential threats, and live in harmony with the Blue Pacific Continent.
