We say

OUR islands of the Pacific are truly heaven on earth if the reading of their recent reporting to the United Nations on progress made on advancing the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development is to be believed. Most, if not all of them, reported achieving universal access to education and health for their people.Palau for instance, told the UN High Political Forum that its citizens enjoy universal access to water and a lot of strides have also been made towards reducing poverty amidst a growing economy. Meanwhile Vanuatu told the UN forum that it has introduced a number of national policies that aim to enforce gender equality, promote disability inclusivity, enable child online protection and mainstream gender and women’s empowerment.
