This Regional Partnership Framework
(RPF) outlines the World Bank Group (WBG) strategic program
for nine Pacific island countries (PIC9): Kiribati, the
Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), Federated States of
Micronesia (FSM), Republic of Nauru, Republic of Palau,
Independent State of Samoa, Kingdom of Tonga, Tuvalu, and
Vanuatu. Seven of these countries are IDA-eligible and have
seen a substantial increase in WBG presence and engagement
in recent years. The RPF builds upon the deepening
engagement with Samoa, Tonga, and Kiribati, and the ability
to channel significantly more resources to FSM, RMI, Vanuatu
and Tuvalu following their recent reclassification as IDA
eligible. The RPF also outlines options for engagement with
Nauru and Palau, which are IBRD countries. In summary, this
RPF will guide a WBG engagement in the Pacific which will
build on what has been achieved so far but also seek to
achieve further impacts in three main ways. First, increased
IDA18 allocations will provide opportunities to finance
projects that are larger in size and scope. Second, building
on the results of the SCD and other recent analytical work,
the WBG program will be highly selective and focused on
helping the PICs make the most of a few key opportunities
and effectively mitigate the main risks to incomes and
livelihoods which they are facing. Third, the WBG program
will put special emphasis on addressing the drivers of
fragility in the Pacific (issues related to institutional
capacity, growth in youth population and urbanization,
climate change and natural disasters, as well as gender) to
enhance the sustainability of the activities being carried
out and of the progress being achieved. |
