The Independent Evaluation of the Roads for Development (R4D) Program Final Report concluded that Australia should continue supporting Vanuatu’s rural road sub-sector.  In particular, in designing a possible next round of rural sub‑sector support, Australia should continue to focus on two key elements.  First, improving and maintaining rural access through narrowing R4D’s focus, opening R4D’s support to all Vanuatu Public Works Department Divisions (all provinces),  and integrating PWD and R4D funds into one Works Program. Second, continuing to support the transition of PWD from a traditional works agency to a network manager.
