Traditional Money Banks Project
The principal objective of the Traditional Money Banks project is to maintain and revitalise living traditional cultural practices whilst stimulating income generation in Vanuatu. This will be achieved by:
a) encouraging people who are involved in the production of various forms of traditional wealth (tusked pigs, mats, shell money, etc) to continue producing such wealth ;
b) encouraging people who are primarily involved in the cash economy to access the traditional valuables and use them for ceremonial activities ;
c) facilitating the exchange of cash and traditional wealth items between the informal and formal economic sectors to both generate income for people involved in the traditional sphere of economic life and encourage the revival of traditional practices amongst those primarily involved in the cash economy.
