Asian Development Bank | June 2012
Abstract
Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on the Cook Islands as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has partnered with the Government of the Cook Islands since 1976. ADB’s harmonized strategy for the Cook Islands includes partners such as New Zealand Agency for International Development and the European Union. ADB also works closely with the Pacific Financial Technical Assistance Centre, particularly on macroeconomic management and fiscal conditions, and with regional organizations including the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, whose regional support in areas such as gender, health, and statistics complement ADB activity. ADB’s operations complement assistance from development partners with the focus on building and maintaining infrastructure, outer island development, and maintaining progress on the Millennium Development Goals. The country has achieved the Millennium Development Goals on health and education.
