It is hardly surprising that the question of online anonymity is one to which many in Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and PNG appear to be responding with a resounding ‘no’. But Identity, as it is widely understood in the Pacific, is changing, writes Dan McGarry.

Internet access is improving in Vanuatu, but we’re still falling behind. Donors will have to decide just how important it is to them to see Vanuatu keep abreast of a rising internet tide that, right now, is driving us backwards, no matter how we sail the ship, writes Dan McGarry.

Vanuatu’s budget books, released earlier this month, reveal a fairly healthy economy. When you look at the broad strokes, that is. But they are far less revealing than they should be about the road ahead for the tiny island nation, writes Dan McGarry.
