Asian Development Bank and Tonga: Fact Sheet

Abstract

Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on Tonga as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information. The country partnership strategy between the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Tonga was prepared in coordination with development partners, civil society organizations, and the private sector to strengthen the effectiveness, quality, and sustainability of support provided. The establishment of the ADB and World Bank joint development coordination office in 2009 means that ADB and the World Bank are able to jointly support the Government of Tonga to implement its structural reform program. The office has been successful in enhancing relationships and policy dialogue with the government and other development partners, as well as to ensure coordinated provision of technical support to the government.
