Vanuatu Resilient Roads Manual: a Design Guide for Low Volume Rural Roads in Vanuatu based on Accessibility, Security and Sustainability


This manual was developed to provide guidelines for appropriate methods of road engineering for low volume rural roads in Vanuatu. It includes climate screening tools that ensure climate risk is taken into account in road project identification, formulation and execution.

The manual was developed under the Climate Resilient Road Standards (CRRS) Project. The CRRS was funded directly by a grant from the Australian Government (under the Pacific-Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning (PACCSAP) programme) to the Government of Vanuatu. It commenced in December 2013 and was completed in March 2015.
