Overview

Tuvalu is made up of a series of small, low-lying coral atoll and reef islands in the Pacific. It is isolated, vulnerable to adverse climate events and economic shocks, and is lacking many of the resources needed for sustainable growth to alleviate poverty.

ADB's operational strategy complements the national strategy, Te Kakeega II, 2005–2015, by focusing on improving governance and economic management, in particular public financial management and public enterprise reforms.
