A Gazette-based explanation of civil defamation, cyber-harassment, cyber-stalking and safeguards for minors and public debate. It describes the published 2025 text without asserting an unverified commencement date or current enforceability.

Development and Resilience Research Monitor (DRRM) | 23 October 2026 “Seychelles internet is expensive” may be a fair household impression, but it is not yet a complete comparison. A price is meaningful only alongside speed, data allowance, congestion policy, installation, equipment, tax and currency date. This review therefore compares public operator information cautiously. It does…

Development and Resilience Research Monitor (DRRM) | 23 October 2026 Seychelles has a small labour market, a tourism-heavy economy and skills needs that can change faster than training pipelines. That makes expatriate, or non-Seychellois, workers visible in everyday economic debate. But two different questions are often mixed together: does an employer need a non-Seychellois worker…

Development and Resilience Research Monitor (DRRM) compares Seychelles with other small island developing states (SIDS) without treating any one country as a perfect model. The useful question is not whether Seychelles is “behind”. It is where policy design an

Development and Resilience Research Monitor (DRRM) asks a practical question for Seychelles: what can grow when visitor numbers and catches cannot grow forever? Move from two sectors to a wider value chain Tourism and fishing are not problems to be discarded.

Why people begin using drugs and why dependence persists are different questions. DRRM follows the causal chain, examines Seychelles-specific evidence, and separates established mechanisms from untested explanations.

Seychelles leads Africa on GDP per person, but income is not household wealth or resilience. A sourced comparison with global rich economies examines SIDS vulnerability, sudden shocks and practical ways to protect prosperity.
