Located in the South Pacific, the small, low-lying islands of Vanuatu are home to immense cultural and ecological diversity.

Maintaining traditional knowledge and developing innovative solutions are key for locals to build resilience to the pressing challenges they face today – especially when women are given a seat at the table.
