About the Partner Organisation 

Vanuatu Broadcasting and Television Corporation is the nation's public service broadcaster, providing news, information, emergency updates, and entertainment across the country. Besides three radio stations including Radio Vanuatu, Paradise FM 98, and Femme Pawa 99 FM, it also operated a TV station as well as online platforms. It is primarily located in Port Vila but has presence on Santo and Tanna. Vanuatu has limited access to specialized broadcast technicians, particularly those with experience in modern broadcasting technologies. While VBTC has skilled personnel, the technical expertise required for infrastructure upgrades and long-term sustainability is not readily available locally. A volunteer with international experience can bring new knowledge, best practices, and innovative solutions to support VBTC’s mission.
