Strategy

The Pacific Approach, 2010-2014, serves as the country partnership strategy for the Cook Islands.

ADB’s country operations business plan (COBP), 2013-2015, for the Cook Islands is aligned with the aims of ADB’s Pacific Approach, 2010-2014, and the Cook Islands National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP), 2011-2015.

The COBP, 2013-2015, targets

  • improving public infrastructure to establish the fundamentals for environmentally sustainable private sector-led growth,
  • building capacity and reform agencies responsible for delivering infrastructure services,
  • improving public financial management and public service performance, and
  • supporting state-owned enterprise reform.

In particular, the COBP supports key NSDP outcomes on economic and social development, environmental integrity, infrastructure, good governance and partnership.
