PIRAS Country Update: Vanuatu
December 2022
The Pacific Islands Rural and Agriculture Stimulus Facility (PIRAS) supports COVID-19 food system and economic recovery by prioritizing food self-reliance, improving local nutrition, and developing sustainable, equitable agricultural sector growth opportunities.
In Vanuatu, PIRAS works to increase food production, improve nutrition and strengthen market links for rural communities by:
- Distributing agricultural tools, technologies and seeds to the most vulnerable households;
- Training farmers in seedling raising, soil preservation, safe postharvest handling, agribusiness and agri-technologies;
- Rehabilitating community markets to increase women’s and youth participation in agricultural value chains;
- Facilitating market access through partnerships and transportation support.
