The per capita GDP of the Republic of Kiribati is quite low by international standards, and there are concerns about financial sustainability. Kiribati has a National Development Strategy for 2004-2007, ministry operational plans for each ministry, and a single year budget. Adaptation activities will be managed within the framework created by these documents. The Kiribati government has also approved a Climate Change Adaptation Policy and Strategy. All of these documents have been considered in preparing this National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA). Through national consultations and participatory meetings, key problems were identified, and adaptation projects were developed.
