    Description


The East Asia and Pacific (EAP) Region presents a dramatic illustration of the global dynamics, opportunities and risks of the 21st century.

After making the fastest progress in growth and poverty reduction of any region around the world in the last fifteen years, some countries in the region - such as Mongolia - are poised to become middle-income, and some are preparing to join the small group of high-income countries.

Such a rapid transformation is leading to the largest shift in rural-to-urban population in human history, generating rising inequality within and across countries, leaving individuals and regions behind in the dash for prosperity.


The Pacific Island countries, including Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu, offer unique development opportunities but also challenges including extreme remoteness, small size, geographic dispersion, and environmental fragility that limit the range of economic activities where the PICs can be competitive.

At the confluence of the Ring of Fire and the Pacific Cyclone Belt, the countries have high exposure to a range of natural hazards such as earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami, cyclone, flood, storm surge, and seasonal droughts.

These hazards are being exacerbated by climate change. Future sea-level rise suggests possible permanent flooding significant portions of habitable land in Pacific atoll countries.


The Urban, Resilience and Land Team in EAP has a strong and expending operational program in the Pacific Island countries.

The team currently manages 10 investment projects and co-leads 8 operations in collaboration with other sector teams. Additional projects are expected to be added to the portfolio in the coming years.
