Abstract

While infrastructure development in the Pacific islands has increased significantly in recent years, challenges remain in accessing sufficient and appropriate financing. However, only limited information is available on the extent of infrastructure needs for most Pacific island countries. A World Bank report in 2006 on the infrastructure challenge in the Pacific alluded to this point providing anecdotal evidence for Fiji, PNG and Solomon Islands to suggest that the infrastructure investment funding required is indeed ‘substantial’.
