Kiribati Outer Islands Transport Infrastructure Investment Project (KOITIIP)

The Kiribati Outer Islands Transport Infrastructure Investment Project (KOITIIP) is a six-year initiative jointly funded by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The project aims to improve connectivity, safety, and climate resilience of transport infrastructure across selected outer islands — Abaiang, Beru, Nonouti, and Tabiteuea South.

KOITIIP focuses on upgrading maritime and land transport facilities, conducting hydrographic surveys, and strengthening institutional capacity for sustainable infrastructure management. By enhancing reliable and safe transport links, the project supports better access to services, markets, and opportunities for outer island communities.
