Notas del editor
- Originally called the New Hebrides, on 30 July 2010, Vanuatu celebrated 30 years of independence. Vanuatu has a republican political system which is currently headed by a President who is elected for 5-year terms by a two-thirds majority in an electoral college. This Electoral College consists of members of Parliament and the presidents of Regional Councils. The prime minister and the Council of Ministers constitute the executive government. Vanuatu has had a relatively prolonged period of political stability. Legal System The legal system of the country is based on English common law. The judiciary consists of the Supreme Court with a Chief Justice and a Magistrates Court. The highest court is the Court of Appeal.
- Gov t health care system Not good enough for retirement investment Health Sector strategy 2010– 2016 Comprehensive Reform Program (CRP) MALARIA HUGE reduction since 2000 Drop of 75% incidence (WHO 2011) This was done with a major program of mosquito nets throughout the country mostly, as well as better treatments and education of mosquito control
- Roads Recent developments has seen the completion of tar-sealed road around the island of Efate, where Port Vila is located and the 57 km tar-sealed road of the east coast Highway on island of Espiritu Santo. This improvement was made possible by the Millennium Challenge Accounts (MCA) Ports Port Vila’s ongoing congestion problem has been greatly improved with upgrade in wharf facilities including the provision of two tugboats.
- By Air. Vanuatu’s national airline “Air Vanuatu” operates regular flights between Australia (10 time a week) and New Zealand (four times a week). The majority of overseas visitors may enter Vanuatu via Sydney. Visitors may also enter Vanuatu via Fiji and New Caledonia. Air Calin operates two flights per week to Port Vila. By Sea. If you are intending to send materials by sea, international vessels enter Vanuatu via Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.
- Airports With its new cargo terminal and extension of run-way underway, Bauerfield is set to accept larger aircraft. Santo’s Pekoa’s Airport was also upgraded and now handles international flights. Improving domestic airports in the outer islands remains a key priority activity for the Government. Telecommunications The most dramatic recent development has been in the area of mobile phones. The arrival of Digi-cel has seen very strong competition between the Vanuatu TVL - leading to affordable prices in mobile phones. Communication is now easy nation-wide and with good signals. Internet has also improved significantly. A new development which will further boost communication services within the country has been the E-Govt Network. Once the network and databases and software have been configured, it will revolutionalise the way the way government operates and the speedof communication nation-wide.
