Most of the population lives on the Gilbert Islands, one of three groups that make up Kiribati. South Tarawa, the capital, is part of the Gilbert Islands and is the focus of this study. It is home to roughly half of Kiribati’s population of about 107,600. South Tarawa has two municipal councils— Betio Town Council (BTC) and TeInainano Urban Council (TUC).
