Abstract
ADB's strategy for Tonga supports the Government's development goals. The focus of assistance in 2005-2006 will be (i) continuing assistance to the Government's reform program to enhance sound economic and public sector management; (ii) addressing the emerging deterioration in some social indicators through targeted interventions that promote inclusive social development; and (iii) improving the enabling environment for private sector development. The key projects for the period under consideration will be (i) assistance to develop a new strategic development plan for Tonga, linked to a multi-year fiscal framework and an annual resource allocation process; (ii) continued support for public enterprise reforms, especially the privatization of selected public enterprises; (iii) addressing youth unemployment and associated social problems; (iv) improving basic infrastructure for drainage and sanitation in selected areas in the capital, Nuku alofa; and (v) agriculture sector development through an enhanced policy environment and development of small and medium agriculture-based enterprises.
