| description |
Driven mainly by foreign investment in
the areas of tourism, financial services and land
development, it is expatriates who are primarily reaping the
gains of business development. This lack of inclusive
development is becoming an alarming source of growing
economic inequalities, dispossession and potentially
disruptive social trends. Yet, ni-Vanuatu are not inherently
opposed to community-sensitive' development that can
generate employment opportunities and income sources for the
population. While economic growth is clearly desirable, an
urgent policy imperative exists to ensure that Ni-Vanuatu
become equal participants in these developments and the
subsequent benefits. This briefing note focuses specifically
on some of the challenging effects of foreign investment on
the dynamics of land use and ownership in Vanuatu. Conflicts
about land are potentially explosive and recent historical
events in Fiji, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea have
shown the urgency of designing effective long-term policy
responses to these sensitive issues. |
