The constraints to development faced by PICs are well known and have been discussed in numerous studies for several decades. These include small, highly dispersed land areas and populations; distances far from world markets; narrow resource bases and primary production options, and vulnerability to natural disasters such as tropical cyclones and droughts, the last two to being especially problematic for atoll countries. In the smallest, most resource-poor PICs, a sustainable future with an improved quality of life for a growing population will be difficult to achieve.

The Republic of Vanuatu, formerly the New Hebrides, is located about three- quarters from Hawaii to Australia, centred near 16° degrees south latitude and 167 0 east longitude. Vanuatu is mostly mountainous, of volcanic origin with narrow coastal plains. About 41% of all land is cultivable with 14% utilised. Total land area is 12,200 km2 with 65 islands populated of 80 total. It is hot and wet from November through April, and cooler and drier from May - October. In the capital Port Vila, the average temperature is 26°C" and the annual rainfall 2300 mm. Namral hazards include tropical cyclones, volcanism and occasional tsunamis.
