World Bank

The World Bank supports us in the following areas:

In the energy sector, the World Bank is working with the governments of the Marshall Islands to make electricity supplies more reliable and efficient, and to scale up renewable energy generation. 

In health, the World Bank is supporting Pacific countries with improved systems for analysis, budgeting, management, and monitoring of health services, with a particular focus on strengthening primary health care. Support to the Marshall Islands includes investments in maternal and child health, as well as early childhood stimulation and preschool services.

Pacific Island countries are at the forefront of climate change and disasters, and projects across the region are helping to strengthen countries’ fiscal, social, and physical resilience. The Pacific Resilience Program, for example, is helping the Marshall Islands to build early warning systems, strengthen disaster policies and community resilience, and obtain quick access to finance after a disaster.

Transport is essential to the Pacific Islands region to connect people to markets, schools, hospitals, and families, often over vast distances of ocean. Projects to build the resilience of key roads, bridges, ports, and other transport infrastructure in the Marshall Islands to better connect communities, including those in remote and outer island communities, while protecting infrastructure against the impacts of climate change.
