addressing the specific needs of particularly vulnerable geographic locations and groups including children, pregnant women, lactating mothers, adolescents, women headed households, people with disability, elderly people, marginalised communities and others who may get excluded in recovery and rehabilitation programs. Civil society has an important responsibility to formalize its roles and responsibilities to be in line with and supportive of Government guidelines and approaches. NGOs will strengthen accountability towards the people affected by Cyclone Pam and play an important role in enhancing community participation in planning and implementation, information sharing, and facilitating complaint mechanisms etc.
Novel and Hybrid Implementation Options Financial, human and technical resource flows that result from this Strategy will be utilized in a variety of ways by a variety of partners on ground in Vanuatu. This strategy does not advocate one modality over another, but rather seeks to ensure a wide array of aid modalities are taken advantage of that can be drawn upon to achieve balance in Cyclone Pam recovery aid. In all cases there must be a high degree of ownership and commitment by government and by civil society groups and in which subnational levels of government have been involved in recovery and rehabilitation planning processes. Generally, the central government seeks to minimize its involvement in activities in which the private sector might normally be expected to engage, taking on instead an effective role as regulator and facilitator of the private sector, and as provider of public recovery and rehabilitation goods. The implementation and financing modalities, which would be acceptable under this strategy: • Balance of payments support • Aid-financed debt relief • General budgetary support • Sector budget support • Sector earmarked Sectoral Off-budget within sector Blend of government • Projects using government systems (Sector and) project • Blend of government and donor systems • Public Private Partnerships • Direct Financing to Non-Government Organizations and civil society • Low Interest Loans to private sector actors • International Agency direct implementation arrangements • Sector-wide approaches (SWAPs) • Programme-Based Approaches (PBAs)
Monitoring & Evaluation A preliminary set of indicators (both quantitative and qualitative) has been identified to monitor and evaluate the implementation of this Strategy. Other measures linked to the broader national outcomes, benchmarks and targets will need to be further elaborated in collaboration with MALFFB.
