Evidence snapshot for Kiribati
Kiribati is advancing digital connectivity through World Bank and Asian Development Bank-financed submarine and domestic fibre networks; Vodafone Kiribati reports 87% population network coverage, though the World Bank notes that retail internet prices "remain high." The country has deployed AI-powered satellite tracking to combat illegal fishing in its Phoenix Islands Protected Area, with one enforcement action in 2015 generating $2 million in fines and goodwill payments from vessel owners. Women's political representation remains limited; women held 8.6% of parliamentary seats in the last term (4 of 45), though a two-decade-long Women's Practice Parliament programme has produced individual success stories and doubled the number of female candidates running nationally to 18 by 2024.
