Water supply falls under several authorities in Vanuatu. For the last 27 years, the water supply delivery has involved two different government departments, namely, the Public Works Department, who is responsible for the urban water supply, and the Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources who is responsible for delivering rural water supplies.

In June 2012 the Vanuatu Law Commission (VLC) entered into a partnership with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to carry out a review of three pieces of health legislation, namely, the Public Health Act CAP 234, the Health Practitioners Act CAP 164 and the Health Committees Act CAP 296. The VLC was assigned to carry out this review within three months, however, after further reflection it was agreed that the VLC would focus only on the Public Health Act CAP 234 and the Health Committees Act CAP 296, given the time and resources available, and based on MOH priorities.
