📋 Tender Overview
Since 2015, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been supporting Tuvalu to improve domestic and regional connectivity with a range of investments (technical assistances, grants) in infrastructure, shipping, capacity building and planning of total $76.7 million.
Tuvalu is a fragile microstate consisting of nine low-lying atolls with a population of just 11,000 people live.
Improving connectivity and maritime safety between the outer islands and the main island of Funafuti is critical to expand access to essential services and drive economic growth.
ADB is funding the construction of 3 outer islands harbors in Nukulaelae, Niutao and Nui, the replacement of a passenger and cargo ship and several training programs to strengthen the capacity of the Government and communities to maintain and operate these assets.
