Evidence snapshot for Kiribati
Kiribati has undertaken significant infrastructure and institutional reforms to address connectivity and development challenges. Digital connectivity has expanded through World Bank and ADB-financed submarine and domestic fibre networks, with Vodafone Kiribati reporting 87% population network coverage and targeting 95% within 18 months, though independent data showed roughly 73,300 internet users (54% of population) in early 2024. The government has modernised its business environment by passing three foundational laws in May 2021 — the Companies Act, Company Insolvency Act, and Business Names Act — following a 2016 diagnostic that identified outdated legislation as a constraint on private-sector growth. In education, Kiribati launched an offline-capable Learning Passport platform in September 2021 with over 900 registrations in its first months, designed to reach outer-island students despite unreliable connectivity, and satellite-based AI technology has supported fisheries enforcement, with Global Fishing Watch helping secure a $2 million settlement from illegal fishing in the Phoenix Islands Protected Area.
