ABOUT US

The Non-Government Organization (NGO) Desk Office is a government institution that works closely with the Vanuatu Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (VANGO) and the Vanuatu Christian Council (VCC). Its primary role is to ensure proper coordination among all NGOs operating within Vanuatu’s six provincial governments. The office ensures that NGO plans are reviewed and briefed with provincial and municipal planners before being implemented at area councils, municipal councils, or municipal wards, and to ensure that the National Sustainable Development Plan 2030 is being achieved, leaving no one behind. The government also aims to ensure that all NGOs are spread across the provinces, including the isolated islands of Vanuatu.

"Together, we reach every corner, leaving no one behind, for a brighter and sustainable Vanuatu."

VFHA

 

 

 

As Vanuatu's pioneering sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) organisation, VFHA is a trusted provider of SRHR services and commodities to the nation of 271,000. It works closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to provide service delivery from its two main clinics, advocating to political and religious leaders and conducting educational campaigns targeting youth and the broader community.

 

Fifty-eight per cent of the population is below 24-years-old so the needs for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services are significant. Vanuatu has a high static fertility and high teenage fertility rates, rising rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and low rates of contraceptive prevalence. About 76 per cent of the population lives in rural areas, making it difficult and expensive to provide quality reproductive health (RH)

The association was also the leading NGO on the provision of SRHR services during the Post Cyclone Winston Response that has devastated the lives of the people of Vanuatu. Lives were touched during the response as they were able to go to the rural and remote areas on the provision of services.
