Vanuatu communities growing climate resilience

 

Communities in Vanuatu are learning to grow climate resilient crops, 18 months after Cyclone Lola devastated the country.

Save the Children Vanuatu country director Polly Banks said they have been working alongside Vanuatu's Ministry of Agriculture and local partners, supporting families through the Tropical Cyclone Lola Recovery Programme.

She said the programme looked at the impact of the cyclone on backyard gardening and on people's economic reliance on what they grow in their gardens, and developed a recovery plan to respond.
