Agenda 2030: A Pathway for a Resilient and Prosperous Future.

The Agenda 2030 is a national policy with a multi-sectoral approach. It sets out the Government of the Republic of Marshall Islands' priorities and strategic directions of major reforms , modernization initiatives and transformative projects to be achieved by 2030. The thematic areas of the policy are: (I) climate change, (II) good governance, (III) economic growth and resilience, (IV) private sector development, (V) social development, (VI) nuclear justice, (VII) infrastructure development, (VIII) partnership for financing for development.
The access to climate finance will be improved by implementing the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Accreditation Strategy, strengthening of the Climate Finance Working Group, and exploring the possibility to access global climate finance credit facilities. To increase the resilience to the impacts of climate change, the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) will be implemented through a comprehensive "All Of Government" and "All Of Society" approach. The policy and legal frameworks will be updated, such as development of a Sea Level Rise Action Plan. The governance and administration structures will be strengthened. Considering the impacts of sea level rise, customary land tenure and individual rights will be addressed to accommodate the protection of some land and the vacating of unprotected land. Early stage planning will be strengthened to identify protection needs for key islands. Necessary financial contribution will be provided to the Marshall Islands Resilience and Adaptation (MIRA) Fund.
Financing instruments will be explored to finance post disaster recovery effort. A new financial support scheme will be developed to scale up production of local produce by repurposing existing financial support and/or securing new and additional resources. A comprehensive strategy on how to improve supply and selling of healthy local food will be formulated, taking into account the national policies on agriculture and food security. Economic base of outer islands will be expanded through aquaculture development and cultivation of other marine resources, such as commercial development of sea weeds, clams and or sea cucumbers. Revenue from ocean fisheries resources will be maximized through development of appropriate infrastructures, public private partnerships, markets, and a conducive fisheries sector operating environment. Efforts will be given to improve the management and sustainable use of aquatic and fisheries resources.
The policy lays down actions to increase the participation of the private sector in the economy. Women’s economic empowerment will be strengthened, and financial literacy programs and concessional loans will be provided to women entrepreneurs. Social development will be achieved by improving the quality of health and education services, protecting culture and traditional knowledge, expanding social protection to support vulnerable groups, empowering women and youth, developing island communities, reducing risk from pollution, such as marine pollution, waste and hazardous materials, and fostering an effective partnership with non-governmental organizations on community development.
Sanitation and access to quality water will be improved. Laboratory standards will be strengthened for testing of water quality. New energy infrastructures, including renewable energy, will be upgraded and constructed. Waste management will be improved through new landfill or rehabilitation of current dump site in Majuro and the use of waste incinerator to control and manage the increasing volume of waste in Majuro and Ebeye.
