Times are now getting hard for many Tuvaluans. Government revenues have recently declined, resulting in economic difficulties and the likelihood of lower incomes for many.

To better understand the nature of hardship in Tuvalu, the government undertook a Participatory Assessment of Hardship in mid-2003 with assistance from the Asian Development Bank.

The assessment identified the needs and priorities of people living in communities throughout the country with different levels of access to services such as education, health, markets, transportation, water, and sanitation.

The online edition is free of charge.

An applicable shipping and handling fee will be charged for hard copy orders of this publication.
