ADB's Work in Marshall Islands

The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) comprises over 1,000 islets and atolls in the North Pacific. Its economy relies on fisheries and development assistance, including grants under its Compact of Free Association with the United States. The Compact grants are scheduled to expire in 2023, and the RMI is in negotiations to extend assistance.

The Pacific Approach, 2021–2025 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is the country partnership strategy for the RMI, and focuses on building resilience against economic shocks, delivering sustainable services, and promoting inclusive and sustainable growth. It introduces new priorities including programmatic approach to climate change, longer-term capacity support, flexible procurement practices, and emphasis on gender equality.
