A number of nakamals form a tribe and within each nakamal a social safety net system exists (Prasad and Kausimae, 2009). With regard to social protection, Ni-Vanuatu relies mostly on families and kinship networks, on access to traditional family land holdings for subsistence farming, and on a broad array of community-based organizations (churches) and NGOs (WB, 2006c: 5). There is, however, little or no government funding provided to NGOs or agencies dealing with social problems (ILO, 2006e). There have been considerable successes in the integration of traditional values such as collective participation, sharing of resources and social integration. Wantok, in Melanesian Pidgin, is made up of two words, “wan” meaning “one” and “tok” meaning “talk” (Jak, 2010: 1). The wantok refers to one’s kin or those closely linked together, either socially or biologically, and it literally means “same language” (ILO, 2006d: 86).
