Description

This report results from the implementation of ADB’s governance policy in the Pacific region. It provides an overview of governance issues, strengths, and weaknesses in ADB’s Pacific Developing Member Countries (PDMCs); and it aims to improve the understanding of the governance environment, both in individual countries and the region as a whole, and as the basis for a more focused policy dialogue with PDMC governments on areas where development partners, and ADB in particular, can help make development assistance more effective.
