The Vanuatu-Australia Community Grants Program is offering grants of up to VT4.7 million for community-led projects across Vanuatu, with applications closing on 30 November 2026.
The funding supports projects in areas including water and sanitation, renewable energy, community infrastructure, sports and recreation, and disability inclusion.
Australian High Commissioner Max Willis said the projects are driven by priorities identified by communities themselves.
“Whether it’s improving access to water, supporting sporting opportunities, strengthening climate resilience or investing in community infrastructure, these projects are driven by the priorities communities identify for themselves.”
Since its establishment, the program has supported more than 70 projects across Vanuatu. Recent examples include the Laone Solar Energy Project on Pentecost, sports equipment for Malampa Revivors FC on Santo, and solar-powered water pumps at Port Resolution on Tanna.
