Welcome!
Malampa Provincial Government Council
Empowering the Provincial Government with infinite access to service delivery to be a socio - economically self-reliant Province.

The VCAP Project has two parts. VCAP 1 started in 2014 and ended in 2018. VCAP 2 Project is worth around $12.5 million USD or about 1.5 billion Vatu in total. This project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Least Developed Country Fund (LDCF). VCAP 2 will help to strengthen government capacity to deliver services to project sites throughout Vanuatu.

VCAP 2 differs from VCAP 1 in that much of its funding from the GEF focuses on supporting environmental resource protection and bio-diversity which is the variety of living organisms in Vanuatu. This entails the survey and establishment of terrestrial and marine protected areas, the registration of these protected areas, and implementing resource management plans with communities. Activities to protect the environment against land degradation are also being supported through the project.
