Strategy and Policy Dialogue.
In the medium term, ADB will help the Government promote economic growth and improve the quality of life of the population, particularly those vulnerable to external shocks and natural disasters. The operational strategy was aligned with the MDGs.

In 2003, policy dialogue was on good governance, institutional reforms in the sugar industry, water supply and sewerage services, and roads.

ADB approved the establishment of its Pacific Subregional Office in the capital Suva to meet the needs of its Pacific DMCs effectively and efficiently. This will complement the Pacific Liaison and Coordination Office in Sydney, Australia, that was also approved in 2003 to serve as an operational center and travel and communication hub for ADB’s work in the Pacific.

Loans and Technical Assistance.
One loan of $47 million was approved for the Suva-Nausori Water Supply and Sewerage Development Project. Four technical assistance projects totaling 2.1 million were also approved.
