Coordinated with the relevant Government departments and corporations the review and development of sectoral strategies and investment plans to take into consideration the cyclone rehabilitation requirements of WS$713million. After completion of documentation he coordinated with the World Bank the organisation of a meeting of donors in Apia in July 1992 to identify how the revised public sector investment programme of the Seventh Development Plan could be funded.

Detailed Narrative Description of Project:

The project was an extension of the initial work of the World Bank who compiled a report on the infrastucture rehabilitation immediately after the 1991 cyclone. ADB became involved in its role to support the Government in identifying its medium-term priority needs taking into account the cyclone rehabilitation requirements. By involving the heads of departments and corporations in taking the lead in reviewing priorities and setting funding plans, the project was able to maximise sustainability of the programming process following the July 1992 donors meeting. The project was instrumental in the negotiations of various grants and soft-terms to fund some of the priority cyclone rehabilitation needs.
