Vanuatu Compact - Efate Ring & Santo East Coast Road

Summary: MCC’s $65.4 million Vanuatu Compact (2006-2011) funded the $58.3 million Infrastructure Activity. The activity aimed to reduce travel times and vehicle operating costs in rural areas by reconstructing and sealing 149.7 km of two national roads: the Efate Ring Road and the Santo East Coast Road. This was originally expected to stimulate economic activity in the tourism and agriculture sectors, though MCC now values the economic benefits across all types of road users.
