Nauru : Supporting the Improving Fiscal Sustainability Program
The Improving Fiscal Sustainability Program will help the Government of Nauru strengthen gender-responsive fiscal sustainability by implementing policy and institutional reforms to enhance fiscal and debt management, the governance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), social protection systems, and gender equality. The program will support the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Strategy 2030's key operational priorities of addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalities, accelerating progress in gender equality, and strengthening governance and institutional capacity. The program aligns with all three objectives in the Pacific Approach 2021-2025: preparing for and responding to shocks, delivering sustainable services, and supporting inclusive growth. The program will be financed by an Asian Development Fund grant in the amount of $10 million ($5 million each for subprograms 1 and 2).
