Abstract

In 1990, the Cook lslands Government (CIG) sought the assistance of the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) on a number of environmental initiatives. This led to the inclusion of the Cook Islands in a Regional Environmental Technical Assistance Project (RETA) which was being funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). with support of the World Conservation Union (IUCN). aimed to strengthen the environmental management capability of its Pacific Island member countries. The ADB appointed the SPREP as its executing agency for the RETA.
