Access to affordable, secure, and climate-resilient housingremains a significant challenge in Vanuatu, particularly for low- andmiddle-income earners. The country-s vulnerability to climate change andnatural disasters, combined with rapid urbanization and limited landavailability, has exacerbated housing shortages and increased the need forinnovative solutions.In response, the Government of Vanuatu (GoV) has engaged theInternational Finance Corporation (IFC) as the lead transaction advisor for theVanuatu Climate Resilient Affordable Housing PPP Project. This project aims toincrease the supply of affordable housing that is resilient to climate risksand other natural disasters, while leveraging private sector investment andexpertise. The project is aligned with national development priorities, including the Vanuatu 2030: The People-s Plan, and supports the government-scommitment to sustainable urban development and improved living standards.A critical component of the project is the development ofnew housing on land that is appropriately zoned and registered for residentialuse. The Bukura site has been identified as a priority location for this pilot development.However, the current land lease for the Bukura site is designated foragricultural purposes, which restricts its use for housing. To enable theplanned development, it is necessary to convert the land lease fromagricultural to residential landuse and ensure that all legal and regulatoryrequirements for land registration are met.IFC seeks the services of a qualified consultant to supportthe government in undertaking the land lease conversion and registrationprocess. This will ensure that the Bukura site is legally prepared for theconstruction of climate-resilient affordable housing, in compliance withVanuatu-s land administration framework and in consultation with all relevantstakeholders, including customary landowners.
