    Our Work in the Pacific

    Asian Development Bank | May 2018
    Abstract
    Countries in the Pacific have rich and varied cultures, and diverse landscapes. Despite their idyllic natural features, their remote location in the vast Pacific Ocean produces a challenging context for raising living standards. In most countries, land areas are small and scattered, and populations are widely dispersed. Small economies of scale limit private sector growth and job opportunities, while frequent natural disasters and climate change create additional barriers to developing infrastructure and providing essential services. Despite these challenges, however, the Pacific community is taking tremendous strides to achieve more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable socioeconomic growth.
