Strategy

ADB’s country partnership strategy, 2010-2014, for Kiribati is aligned with the goals and objectives of the Kiribati Development Plan (KDP), 2012-2015, which aims to reduce poverty and promote economic opportunity.

The country operations business plan, 2013-2015, for Kiribati will focus on improving public financial management and the delivery of sustainable infrastructure services.

ADB’s support for Kiribati’s structural reform program aims to improve corporate governance arrangements and the commercial focus of state-owned enterprises given their critical role in the provision of infrastructure services. In addition, improved public financial management will allow the government to enhance its resource allocation process to ensure that funds are directed to productive areas of the economy, including infrastructure development and maintenance, and meeting social service needs.
