Priorities and Action Agenda 2006-2015, 2006 (Revised 2013, Vanuatu)

This Priorities and Action Agenda (PAA) is a revised version of the 2006 agenda. The 2006 agenda was reviewed from 2010 to 2012, during which it became apparent that there is a necessity to address governance issues to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the public sector. In keeping with this, the national vision was revised to include "Just," now reading "A Just, Educated, Healthy and Wealthy Vanuatu". The PAA identifies seven Strategic Priorities to achieve the national Vision. For each Strategic Priority, there are corresponding Policy Objectives with associated Strategies to achieve the objectives. The Strategic Priorities are: (1) Private Sector Development and Employment Creation, (2) Macroeconomic Stability and Equitable Growth, (3) Good Governance and Public Sector Reform, (4) Primary sector development, environment, climate change, and disaster risk management, (5) Provision of Better Health Services, especially in rural areas, (6) Education and human resource development and (7) Economic Infrastructure and Support Services. These Strategic Priorities are interrelated and complementary.
