Evidence snapshot for Tuvalu
Tuvalu, a nation of roughly 11,000 people across dispersed atolls, has dramatically expanded its digital infrastructure and revenue streams through targeted investments. The Tuvalu Vaka Cable increased national bandwidth from as little as 73 Mbps to engineering headroom exceeding 10 Gbps following a US$29m World Bank grant and the October 2025 submarine cable activation. Tuvalu's .tv Domain Licensing generates approximately US$10 million annually (roughly 8% of GNI) through a 2021 GoDaddy contract, doubling previous revenues. The country has also embedded gender equity measures in climate adaptation work and is building AI-assisted digital infrastructure to monitor coastline change, though no independent evaluations of downstream socioeconomic outcomes have yet been published.
