VII. Asian Development Bank’s Operational Program

38. The ADB’s lending and technical assistance program for Tuvalu (2000-2002) is shown in Table 1. The first loan to Tuvalu for the IDP was approved in 1999. A capacity building TA for operation of an Island Development Fund is piggybacked to the loan. In addition, during the current operational cycle, attention will be given to upgrading the TMS, and to the restructuring of Micro-Finance Institutions. Over the period 2000-2002, one small loan will be programmed for upgrading of TMS in 2002. Final timing of this loan, however, depend on satisfactory progress of IDP.
