Kiribati is only poor if we believe we are poor..which is definitely not the case...Kiribati people are strong, they have a strong and deep rooted culture; their way of life is unique; therefore it is not about ecomonic development, good governance, etc..it is about people believing in themselves and to be provided with the opportunities to realise their strengths, their gift within them, their potentials to be able to contribute to the whole development of Kiribati....hence the key is FREE EDUCATION from pre-school, primary, secondary all the way up to tertiary levels and at the same time teaching people with Kiribati traditional skills and life skills...the Government should spent the majority of their monies on people...it is an investment...the people will then drive and bring changes and make a difference in Kiribati's development.

my bad...forgot to explain that poor line here doesn't mean we poor or smthing...it just in terms of GDP per capita.
I'm pretty sure we unique as u guys said coz we in strip tiny islands on earth and we didn't struggled for survival means...unlike african pple.
the point of this discussion is to give some ideas that our leaders haven't bring to bear(apply) yet as to stimulate the economy.
e.g, te mwane ni kara is better for the economy?? federal election is next yr so we need to be aware of such things..
per capita GDP is all that matters in world economy(despite its explanatory failures)...we have relative small population so I guess we can achieve much higher position in global economic development rankings..

hi there! that's true, but as we all know, esp us who live in kiribati; that is not the case, since we've been in deficits in every year, and draw-down a lot of Reserve Funds to balance our yearly Budgets. But yet we don't see any possibility of the dream to become a reality, you and I hoping to realize.
I believed in such fine things you believed in too.
But I don't believe in the present Government. To me, to say it in the least; it's NOT a good Government!!!

The only resources the people of Kiribati has are the people and the sea. The sea resources (fish; tourism; minerals; fishing games; to name a few) in the long term will provide a sustain income for Kiribati; i think the key to this is for Kiribati to properly manage it. These are the two sectors which Kiribati has to invest it money in both the short, medium and long term.
Hence Education should come first and should be the top priority, for Kiribati to have the expertise (holistically: scientists, resources economists, egineers; IT; fishing masters; legal; research;etc) to manage the sea resources and create oppportunities for its own people. Education system should change so that at the end of the day we have people who are trained to creat business and at the same time job seekers. Kiribati's current education system provides graduates who depends on the availability of jobs; this needs to change we need to have graduates who could start business on their own with the intention of focusing their business on utilising the sea resources and provides jobs.
Once the Education sytem is set up to be able to meet Kiribati's Development Aspirations; then other priorities should follow: infrastruture; etc.
While Kiribati is concentrating on educating the people, the CROP Agencies should be able to assist Kiribati in providing the required expertise to fill in the gaps, until Kiribati is ready to take control. That is my one cent contribution to the topic..

how about these few thoughts:
1. All i-Kiribati need to be innovative in finding means and policy measures aiming on diversifying the sectors that greatly contributes to wealth of our economy
2. All i-Kiribati must work collectively with a sense of patriotism and embeded interest that through their work, all adds up to scaling and expanding these economic sectors and the economy
3. That our leaders perform their "real" ( i.e. no more room for abuse of power and corruption) leadership role in thriving Kiribati forward. Prescirptive conditions apply!
These can be translated into policies, work ethics, guiding principles for administration, etc. If we all take the message seriously, then our Kiribati will prosper! and the issue raised in this discussion will be solved!

Thanks but no thanks!
The topic is on the thing called GOVERNANCE, and NOT on one particular person. But unfortunately that particular person Anote Tong, the President, represents the WHOLE People of Kiribati, and who happened to be an EFFECTOR agent in our everyday life decisions, if you could understand. So its better to keep to the main subject, and not try to change the subject. Bad for him he's President, but Worst more he's called Anote Tong!!!
You see, its NOT about us the people; IT IS ABOUT "OFFICIAL INCAPPACITY"!
We can see what's between the lines, but this one is NOT between the lines; it is ON the line, and can never be misunderstood!
Sorry if I'm hard, but we are fed up with lies, corruptions, exploitations or whatever!

Mauri Uere.
I respect your point that you have a great desire to condemn Anote Tong Government and it administration. Though I believed that I'm responding and trying to shed some lights directly to the topic i.e. "Best governance, policy, measure, and administration for our Kiribati economic development".
Yes Anote Tong (and whoever that may take this position in the future) is indeed a major player in shaping and fixing our policies, code of conduct, economy, etc as referred to in the topic. But why Anote Tong Government is there in the first place? By our own rules and democratic principles, the majority of our people, and including you (irrespect of your opposition views) had elected Anote Tong Government. You may not vote him, but the reality now is that he's the President of Kiribati and so is yours too.
I believe that the key to change the very things that you mention "Official Incapacity" is through the people and that is the very rationale of my post. We need to empower them to realise what structures and faults that had gone wrong in their own government system and channels and make a change through their collective actions and votes. How much more influence that you think you can impose to condemn the Government other than through the power of our own citizens? We may continue exchanging views, writing articles, etc...but to me this is far-feteched from enough at all. The key is to ensure that you get to the majority of the people and convince them of these counteractive views on Anote Tong's administration failures. Please note that only a small portion of Kiribati population have access to internet and newspapers. If you really want to stress these points, reach them, the people, beyond the machineries that you have used and caucus them. .

I think the best governance, policy, measure and adminitstration is one that aims to develop Kiribati as a whole. This means that its project or developments reaches all the people of KIRIBATI not just those who are employed or living in one area but all of the PEOPLE OF KIRIBATI. Its development projects must also be for the long term not just to solve problems now and then two or three years later, the problem appeared again. That project development must also be sustainable like farming our uninhabitated islands so that it can help cut the import of food from overseas or maybe even stop the import of food like rice from overseas at all.. We must also have the best use of our ocean. We must use it to get our own fish so as to cut or decrease the import of tins or canned fish and other protein sources from overseas. Also, we can stop big companies from fishing in our ocean and begin to fish in our own creating more jobs and sell those we caught to overseas countries.
Kai ao anne moa au iango mai ikai ao e rabwa te forum aei. May GOD help and bless us all!!

Amongst other things have mentioned, am stressed that population (Growth in numbers) as the sole responsibility of our health Ministry is the best socio-economic area to be assessed and tackled by our government, religious groups in our society irrespective to what we gonna face tough from them (religious belief).
We have to assess a year to year progress of our economy and to see what the level of our GDP or per capita to wealth distribution to our society. i strongly believed that Kiribati current economic situation become deteriorated, restrictive in nature and see that our capacity to generate viability of our resouces is less effective in attaining what we might be expected.
I don't think what are those current measurements used by our government, can drive our wealth out from our abundant resources, if they don't work why it takes long and see other best alternatives on best utilisation of our marine and terrestrial resources...... or to divert our top human intelligence to find other income generating and financing options thru finance sectors apart from what we rely upon the Kiribati Reserve Funds.
It is also helpful if we do adopt to utilise our resourceful personnel in other specialised areas to come up with their own ideas and assign our Government itself to institutionalised and to implement their ideas through formulation of sub groups of intellegience personnels. it is possible as our people are now knowledgeable in their own respective fields and have the responsibility to share and devote rather than to rely our expectation from decisions made from Government (centralised ideas) itself.
Short to mention, i urge government to take further and immediate proactive measures rather than to invest on spending higher budgets to think what we might not to expect. pls consider taht we have three important resources in our entities/institutions such as TIME, PERSONNEL, FINANCE to be utilised.
thanks
