        <![CDATA[The overall objective of this MCC Compact (thereinafter known as “Compact”) is to reduce poverty and increase incomes in rural areas by stimulating economic activity in the tourism and agricultural sectors through the improvement of transport infrastructure, which is key to economic growth and poverty reduction in Vanuatu (the “Compact Goal”). By focusing on one of the principal factors constraining private sector development and access to social services – namely poor roads – the program intends to reduce transport costs and improve reliability of access. By reducing transport costs, the program expects to stimulate agricultural and tourism activity in rural areas, thereby increasing incomes and reducing poverty.

Originally Vanuatu’s MCA Program (“Program”) consisted of two principal project activities: (i) civil works for the reconstruction or construction of priority infrastructure on eight islands, covering roads, wharfs, airstrips and warehouses (the “Infrastructure Activity”); and (ii) institutional strengthening efforts in the Public Works Department (“PWD”), a division within the Ministry of Infrastructure and Public Utilities (“MIPU”), including the provision of plant and equipment for maintenance of the infrastructure (the “Institutional Strengthening Activity”). However due to various unforeseen economic circumstances that drastically increased construction costs, the scope of work has been reduced to funding two road projects on the islands of Efate and Santo, and a reduced scope of institutional strengthening. This re-scoping initiative was approved by MCA-V Steering Committee on the 22nd of February 2008.]]>

        <![CDATA[The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) provided funds for the upgrade of two roads in Vanuatu.  These were the Efate Ring Road and the Santo East Coast Road.  Both these roads were unpaved (coral) roads and were sealed with a double surface dressing in 2009/10.  The length of road sealed in Efate was 92.5 km and 57.2 km in Santo.  An HDM-4 analysis was conducted to examine:

i) The economic viability of upgrading the two roads
ii) The future performance of the roads]]>
