VI. Cofinancing and Catalyzing External Resources

35. In view of the relatively small size of the program in Kiribati, opportunities for cofinancing are relatively limited. As mentioned above, ADB is currently involved in a number of programs which are carried out with parallel financing from AusAID, including the FEM-MIS, and the institutional strengthening of PUB. ADB plays a strong catalytic role in these sectors particularly through its policy dialogue leverage. Efforts to increase the level of official cofinancing in these areas are being pursued. There is hardly any scope for commercial cofinancing in Kiribati.
