Enterprising Tuvalu

Lytton Advisory’s Managing Director is in Tuvalu, assisting the Ministry of Finance with a review of the country’s public enterprises. The ADB is providing support under its Pacific governance program. Accountability, transparency, financial reporting and service delivery are also on the table. As a micronation, many of Tuvalu’s key services are delivered through public entities with business charters. The user pay model is challenging in the Pacific, where the cost of service delivery is high and in particular where the government seeks to support very small remote communities in this island nation of coral atolls.
