Palau’s first country strategy and program update was endorsed in August 2006. The strategic focus of ADB’s assistance to Palau during the update period of 2007–2009 is to strengthen economic and fiscal management, promote policies for private sector development, and facilitate sound infrastructure development and management.

ADB’s major contribution in Palau over the medium term will involve policy advice and technical assistance. Country-specific and regional technical assistance projects with Palau’s participation will be processed during the strategy and program update period. Palau is invited to participate in ongoing regional technical assistance projects, including Strengthening Poverty Analysis and Strategies in the Pacific, Strengthening Pro-Poor Policy in the Pacific, Diagnostic Studies for Secured Transactions Reforms in the Pacific Region, and Mainstreaming Environmental Considerations in Economic and Development Planning Processes in Selected Pacific Developing Member Countries.
