ADB and Nauru sign grant to expand and improve water, waste management services

Nauru’s Minister of Finance and ADB Governor Martin Hunt and ADB Pacific Department Director General Leah Gutierrez signed the grant agreement, which will partly fund the assessment, planning, and capacity building needed to implement the proposed Nauru Sustainable Urban Development Project.

“Growth in Nauru’s urban areas puts stress on essential services, including water supply and sanitation,” said Hunt. “There is a critical need for this urban project, preparation is key, and we appreciate ADB’s support in planning and developing it.”
