Infrastructure and design problems in the markets Market capacity and space allocation 2 acre property that is completely fenced. There are plans underway for the construction of a fresh produce area that will extend from the existing livestock market. Some vendors have raised concerns about limited space or limitation on days available for them to sell. Request for facilities extension has been made. Stalls are allocated to vendors from each rural area on certain days. This system seems to work well. Certain sections of the market are for use by certain communities as directed by market management and vendors come in on days allocated to them. There are concerns raised by vendors in consultations that preference may be given to specific community groups based on nepotism, for instance, women market vendors from Tanna because the market manager or head of security is from the same island. Overnight accommodation Livestock vendors go to the market for 2-3 days in a row. Currently, they sleep in dormitories that are made up of traditional materials with no sanitary facilities available. The construction of adequate accommodation facilities has been identified as a priority. Not an issue as these road markets operate as day markets only. There is no overnight accommodation provided. Vendors sleep on the floor under the tables. Because of perceived problems with the performance of security guards, it is reported that women market vendors are concerned about the possibility of assault, including assault by security guards themselves. No overnight accommodation provided. All vendors sleep under their tables and some may sleep in family homes if they are able to. However, this also places an additional burden on relatives in Port Vila. Maintenance Current infrastructure requires little maintenance as there are only cement blocks. No spaces that are used on a regular basis. With the construction of new facilities a cyclical maintenance plan and budget will need to be developed. Most of the Ring Road markets are built with traditional materials (except for Epau and Mele Maat), which get easily damaged with harsh weather and heavy rain and require constant maintenance. The two markets that have corrugated iron roof and concreted floor are an example for scale up and replication The market area is covered and sturdy. Council is being made aware of maintenance issue and is attempting to fix some. Open drains are an issue especially to children. The market is water blasted and cleaned on Sunday mornings. Maintenance problems may often occur such as blocked toilets and this is addressed by the market management. Public Private Partnership (PPP) has been entered into with the telecoms (TVL and Digicel) and they have assisted with painting of
