Partnerships & Donors

Global Support and Development (GSD) is a humanitarian organization that works in close partnership with local, national, and regional actors to strengthen disaster readiness and enable effective response. Leveraging diverse capabilities, GSD supports partners by meeting immediate needs, providing critical information and analysis to aid decision-makers, and strengthening national systems to lead and coordinate rapid responses to sudden-onset disasters.

DFAT works with international partners and other countries to tackle global challenges, increase trade and investment opportunities, protect international rules, keep the region stable and help Australians overseas.

Over the next five years, the REnew Pacific program will empower remote communities through inclusive and sustainable projects that provide lighting, clean water, improved agriculture, enhanced food security, quality education and health services and reliable communications, improving livelihoods for local community members.

In partnership with Respond Global, its HELPR-1 vessel will transport and install 20 new off-grid solar power systems and refurbish 20 additional health facilities, enabling reliable 24/7 electricity in some of Vanuatu’s most remote communities for the first time.

This one-year REnew Pacific project, supported by the Vanuatu National Green Energy Fund (NGEF), will improve local healthcare delivery, including night-time emergencies and maternity care. It will also supply essential medical equipment and cold chain refrigeration, which are critical for vaccine storage and improving health prevention.
