Operations by market management in the six Vanuatu markets continue to improve, ensuring that markets are kept open, adhering to COVID-19 safety regulations and remain clean, hygienic and safe for selling produce and cooked food. The Markets for Change team conducted market infrastructure surveys and audits to confirm that markets are now more gender-responsive, accessible, and disaster resistant. New work undertaken in 2022 include the newly renovated market house extension at Luganville Market that is providing more space for selling and safety from the elements for market vendors, the majority of whom are women. In addition, the new installation of CCTV cameras and public address (PA) systems at Luganville, Port Vila and Marobe markets is contributing to vendor and customer safety by reducing the risk of theft and violence in markets. UN Women provided financial and technical support towards the strengthening of markets operating systems in Vanuatu.Disclaimer and notes
