| Description | |||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | TC Lola has occurred during a period of disasters in close succession. Vanuatu's resources were already strained as previous disaster recovery efforts continue following the impacts of TC Judy, TC Kevin and the two earthquakes within a three-day period in March 2023. Responding to TC Lola is of a scale beyond the government's current capacity to restore life-sustaining services to the affected population in a reasonable time. There is a clear need to supplement government resources with additional support from development partners. | ||||
