National Strategic Plan 2015–2017.

The National Strategic Plan (NSP) of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) has been developed using a collaborative process among government ministries and agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sector. The NSP is designed as a framework to coordinate the articulated medium term development goals and objectives of the RMI government at the national level. The NSP will be used by government leaders as the roadmap for development and progress in the medium term (2015–2017) and will be continually updated for use in meeting longer term objectives.
The NSP includes five sectors with each sector broken down into several related strategic areas. The strategic areas are intended to coordinate with national policies and ongoing and/or planned strategic plans in the RMI government ministries, agencies and SOEs. The Sectors are: 1) Social Development, including Health, Education, Gender, Children, Youth and Vulnerable Groups and Community Development. 2) Environment, Climate Change and Resiliency; Vulnerability Assessment and Disaster Risk Reduction, Disaster Management and Response, Conservation Resource Management; Infrastructure Development: Transportation, Energy, Water and Sanitation, Solid and Hazardous Waste Management, Information Communication Technology; 4) Sustainable Economic Development: Agriculture and Agriculture Production, Marine Resources (Fisheries, Fisheries Infrastructure, Deep Sea Mining), Trade and Local Manufacturing, Tourism, Financial Services, Private Sector, Private Sector Investment and Employment, Government Investment (Trust Funds). Good Governance: Public Administration, Public Financial Management and Reform, Law, Justice and Public Safety, Legal and Regulatory, SOE Management and Reform ; Macroeconomic Planning.
The NSP Vision considers both the RMI Constitution and Vision 2018. The development of the NSP Vision focuses on continuing to build a resilient, productive and self-supportive RMI. As such, it is founded on the attributes of self-reliance, mutual respect, tolerance and integrity in line with constitutional obligations and international promises. It is summarized as follows:In our hands is our future.
The objective of the NSP is successful national development that reflects success in all aspects of Marshallese society including economic, political, social and cultural areas. The objective addresses the needs, views and concerns of all Marshallese so that as progress occurs, each individual has a shared and common stake in national development. In this way, the people and the culture of the Marshall Islands are the source of inspiration for the priorities of the NSP. Through successful implementation, the NSP moves Marshallese society so that all citizens can achieve their potential through opportunities provided by strategic and organized sustainable development at both national and local levels.
