📢 CIVIC EDUCATION IN SANTO
During the last week of September, Transparency International Vanuatu’s Civic Education team and partners visited schools and communities across Santo and took part in the Sanma Provincial Day celebrations.
The team shared information with students and the public about Vanuatu’s Constitution, corruption, and why voting matters. Awareness booklets were also distributed to schools and youth groups to support learning and discussion.
Every Ni-Vanuatu has a role in decision-making. By understanding our rights and responsibilities and taking part in elections we can help shape our communities and our country. 🇻🇺

Your vote matters! Use it to help shape your community’s future.
