Vanuatu NAB Search
The Adaptation Project Tool provides guidance to Pacific Islands Countries in developing and planning climate change projects, resilient development and disaster risk reduction projects.
Tools
This project aims to utilize, share, store and manage data and information generated through other climate change and DRR projects implemented in Vanuatu. Similarly it plans to train the “knowledge management officer” intended to sit within the secretariat level of the NAB.The project will be implemented collaboratively by SPREP and Griffith university and also piloting in the three pilot countries (Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu)

Cloud Nasara: Pacific Climate Animation project stakeholder workshop
A workshop will be held on Wednesday 13th February 2013 at the VMGD Conference Room to update stakeholders on the progress of the Cloud Nasara project and to seek feedback on the storyboard and character design of the Vanuatu pilot country animation.
The Cloud Nasara Pacific Climate Animation Project is an innovative new collaboration between Red Cross and the Australian Government’s Pacific-Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning Program (PACCSAP). Cloud Nasara aims to increase awareness of the science and impacts of climate variability in the Pacific, and to provoke discussion around how communities can access forecast information and take low regrets actions to prepare for future El Niño and La Niña events and adapt to climate change.
Two short comical animation films are currently being developed as communication tools. One film will give an overview of climate processes and impacts in the Pacific region as a whole. The other film will be specifically focused on Vanuatu as a pilot country, and is being developed in collaboration with the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazards Department (VMGD). The Cloud Nasara project is being developed through an ongoing consultative process, which includes research, focus groups, forums and direct communication with key stakeholders.
The films will be useful for organisations, government, schools, and community groups in Pacific countries and by regional bodies across the Pacific. They will be accompanied by a comprehensive resource ‘tool kit’ and may assist those working in the fields of disaster risk management, health, food security, community planning, and environmental protection.

The government of Vanuatu, with support from donors and humanitarian actors, have begun to develop a significant focus on disaster preparedness and response. Within the National Disaster Management Organization two leading staff members interface regularly with Ministry of Education providing guidance and taking ownership of programs underway in cooperation with Save the Children and other stakeholders. Although climate-smart DRR education is underway, and while some initial efforts have been made in school disaster planning, it is in a very embryonic stage.
A focus for this project is the 'mentoring of champions' within the education sector. This will result in increased capacity within the Ministry of Education and schools to support replication of the approach into other provinces. The action contributes to the global campaign for safe schools by supporting a framework for school disaster management at the national, sub-national, and local levels, by identifying the key messages to support household participation in school safety, and by proving tools that can be used at the national level to convey and practice school safety action planning by all school communities throughout the country.
Project
This Manual is written for community leaders to facilitate Disaster Management training activities for Christian Church leaders and groups in Vanuatu. It outlines a series of Disaster Management learning activities and is supported by a ‘Participants Manual’ (in Bislama).
Christian Churches in Vanuatu are a strong network that can help all people (not just their own members) before, during and after a disaster. The activities in this Manual train Church leaders to work with their community to prepare and respond to natural disasters.
The training can be held with 10-35 participants and consists of twelve key topics taking up to two days to complete.
