Vanuatu's prime minister wants to tackle political instability in his new government's 100-day plan.
Jotham Napat says economic recovery and infrastructure rebuilding are also critical issues.
Speaking during the launch of the plan, Napat highlighted that it is a response to both ongoing challenges and lessons learnt from the country's recent crises, including political instability and the impact of natural disasters like the recent earthquake.
He emphasised the need to rebuild the nation stronger and more resilient, focusing on reform and governance.
"We have gone through so much as a country, from political crises to the recent earthquake, which has significantly impacted our government revenue," he said.
"This plan is an opportunity for us to come together and address key areas that will drive our country forward."
Napat outlined several key pillars of the plan, starting with governance and reform.
One of the primary goals is to review and improve the government machinery to ensure that resources are used efficiently and that efforts are not duplicated.
Each government minister will be given a copy of the plan to ensure alignment across all sectors.
Another key focus is political reform, particularly the strengthening of the country's governance structure.
The expressed optimism about the reforms brought by the recent changes, including the introduction of 17A and 17B, which have helped streamline government operations.
In the economic sector, the government aims to address the impacts of natural disasters on the national economy, with a particular focus on revenue collection and growth.
The Council of Ministers has already begun discussing new initiatives to boost the economy, which will soon be presented to Parliament for legislation.
