Abstract

This Land Sector Framework (LSF) provides the foundation for a strategic plan to implement land sector reforms in Vanuatu. It is intended to guide government, the private sector and civil society in the use and management of Vanuatu’s land resources. The LSF is based on a Vision and a set of strategic objectives. It outlines implementation priorities for a LSF policy and activity agenda over a ten year period and builds upon the 2006 National Land Summit (NLS) resolutions and recent donor initiatives in the sector. To achieve this Vision, five strategic objectives have been identified which, collectively, constitute the land sector Mission: “To provide an enabling environment for multi-stakeholder participation in the effective use, management and stewardship of Vanuatu’s land resources”. The strategic objectives of the LSF are: Enhancing the governance of land;Engaging customary groups;Improving the delivery of land services;Creating a productive and sustainable sector;and Ensuring access and tenure security for all groups.
