Season 5: Episode 1 - A the Heart of the Response: Vanuatu and the Path to Localisation

Podcast: I Think You’re On Mute At the heart of the response: Vanuatu and the path to localisation What’s changed in Vanuatu’s localisation journey since 2019? How did last year’s earthquake test local leadership and coordination? And where is progress strongest across the seven domains of localisation? In a new episode of I Think You’re On Mute, produced in partnership with PIANGO, we unpack fresh research carried out with VANGO on how localisation has evolved in Vanuatu since our 2019 baseline. One year on from the earthquake, co-hosts Beth Eggleston and Pamela Combinido-Elfa sit down with local research consultant Linda Kenni and Shirley Abraham from VANGO to share insights from those at the heart of the response, looking at what’s shifted, what’s stalled, and what still needs to change to make localisation a reality.
