Download the Vanuatu Country Assessment here.

There is growing awareness that promoting women’s economic empowerment makes good business sense. Yet legal, regulatory, and policy barriers persist that prevent women’s full and equal participation in Pacific private sectors. The PSDI Gender Inclusive Private Sector (GIPS) framework serves as a practical checklist for Pacific governments and institutions to measure progress towards the creation of an inclusive private sector and identify areas where further improvements are needed. This report provides an assessment of the private sector enabling environment in Vanuatu, based on PSDI's GIPS Framework.
