It is surrounded on all sides by the Republic of Senegal, except in the West by the Atlantic Ocean. The population is estimated 2.42 million with a high population growth rate of 3.1 percent per year (Census, 2024). The 2017 Human Development Index shows the country rank at 174 out of 189 countries. Efforts to fight poverty have also proven ineffective with poverty levels remaining unchanged in the past decade (the percentage of households living below the poverty line of 1.25 $/day is 48.65 per cent in 2015 (HIS 2015/2016). The average GDP growth of 3 per cent per annum has barely kept up with population growth of 3.1 per cent. Data from the 2019/20 Demographic Health Survey (DHS) showed encouraging results for U5MR having dropped to 34 per 1,000 down from&nbsp; 54 per 1,000 live births in 2013, Maternal Mortality Ratio estimated 189/100,000 down from at 433/100000 live births in 2013.</p><p>Micronutrient deficiencies are widespread and continue to pose serious public health risks. Anaemia affects 44.8% of children, and only 10.8% of households consume adequately iodized salt even though 77% do consume iodized salt. Vitamin A deficiency affects 18.3% of children under five (MICS 2018). These figures highlight the urgency of interventions such as supplementation, iodization, fortification, and biofortification, supported by regulatory frameworks like the Food Fortification Regulation (2020). Despite these efforts, gaps in coverage and compliance persist, particularly in rural and underserved communities. Strengthening supply chains, enforcement mechanisms, and public awareness campaigns will be essential to improving micronutrient outcomes.</p><p>Infant and young child feeding practices show mixed progress. While 98% of children are breastfed, only 36% of mothers initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth and 53.6% of children are exclusively breastfed. Complementary feeding remains inadequate, with just 15% of children receiving a minimum acceptable diet. The prevalence of malnutrition has improved with the DHS 2019/20 estimating stunting at 17.5% from 25% in 2013, wasting 5.1% from 12% and underweight 11.6% from 16%. These indicators reflect broader food and nutrition security challenges. The country produces only 50% of its food needs and over half the population (60.2%) do not have enough to meet their food expenditure, according to the Integrated Household Survey (IHS 2022). Climate change, low agricultural productivity, and population growth exacerbate these conditions, prompting national strategies focused on climate-smart agriculture, diversified and increased local food promotion and integration of nutrition into broader development efforts.</p><p>Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) are on the rise, driven by poor diets, sedentary lifestyles, and urbanization. Hypertension affects 47% of adults, and obesity is significantly higher among women (20.2%) compared to men (3.9%) (WHO STEPS Survey 2019). Only 6.6% of the population meets WHO physical activity guidelines, reflecting lifestyle shifts associated with urbanization, poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles. The Fill the Nutrient Gap analysis 2025 shows that only 29% can afford a healthy diet. National responses focus on prevention by adopting appropriate dietary guidelines and lifestyles through social and behaviour change communication, and multisectoral collaboration. However, implementation remains fragmented, and greater investment in community-based prevention and promotion of healthy behaviours is needed.</p><p>As a cross cutting issue, the improvement and implementation of nutrition interventions and programme requires a strong coordination mechanism to avoid duplication and gaps. The National Nutrition Agency (NaNA) was established in 2000 as a semi-autonomous government institution strategically placed under the Office of The Vice President through an Agency Board with the legal mandate to coordinate nutrition and nutrition-related activities and advocate for the mainstreaming of nutrition into the macroeconomic and sectoral policy frameworks, implement nutrition activities, monitor nutrition interventions and programmes, mobilize and manage resources in The Gambia.</p><p>The Agency became a legal entity in 2005 through an Act of the National Assembly (Food Act 2005) which is now repealed and replaced by the Nutrition Act 2024. This ensures effective coordination of nutrition interventions across sectors. The Agency serves as the Secretariat to the National Nutrition Council (an inter-Ministerial body chaired by the Vice President), the country Scaling Up of Nutrition (SUN) Movement and the National Alliance for Food Fortification (NAFF).</p><p>The Agency was charged with the overall coordination and implementation of the policy with the following core mandates:</p><ol><li>Coordination of policy implementation</li><li>Implementation of nutrition activities</li><li>Secretariat of the National Nutrition Council</li><li>Nutrition policy analysis, research and indicative planning</li><li>Monitoring of nutrition interventions and programmes</li><li>Mobilisation, management and coordination of resources</li></ol><p>Following the enactment of the Nutrition Act 2024, there is need to develop a regulation that is critical for establishing and&nbsp; formalising the multisectoral governance structures that ensure food and nutrition security and better help to understand and implement the Nutrition Act 2024. The regulation will also translate political commitment into actionable, accountable and sustainable interventions. To work on the development of a Nutrition Regulation, The Gambia, Resilience, Inclusion, Skills and Equity (RISE) Project&nbsp; has sought the expertise of a Legal Expert for the task.</p><p><strong>Objective of The Assignment:</strong></p><p>The objective of exercise is to review and develop comprehensive nutrition regulation.</p><p><strong>Scope of Work and Key Responsibilities:</strong></p><p>The scope of the work will cover the following:</p><ol><li>Inception meeting to identify areas of focus for the development of the regulation</li><li>Map out which provisions of the Nutrition Act 2024 require secondary legislation particularly focusing on:<ol><li>Establishment of the Nutrition Fund (modalities, management tea composition and areas of usage)</li><li>Reference intake of vitamins and minerals in food sources</li><li>Prescription of fortification mix</li><li>Establishment of fortification coordination platform (NAFF)</li></ol></li><li>Draft a Nutrition Regulation</li><li>Conduct consultative meetings to seek the views of the stakeholders on the new draft Nutrition Regulation</li><li>Incorporate views and comments in the draft Regulation</li><li>Conduct a national validation of the draft regulation</li><li>Facilitate review by the Ministry of Justice</li><li>Finalize the Regulation and submit for approval by the Minister responsible for Nutrition</li></ol><p>The Draftsman will require close collaboration with the NaNA for continued guidance.</p><p>4.&nbsp; Individual Consultant Qualifications and Experience</p><p>Given the high level of technical rigor required to carry out the exercise, which is a succinct and analytically sound comprehensive Nutrition Regulation, dedicated human resource capacity is required in terms of time and technical expertise in conducting such a task. National Expert will objectively review the implementation and coordination mechanisms established by the Nutrition Act 2024 and any other relevant mechanisms. Hence an appropriate experienced expert, who is familiar with the development context in The Gambia and having good working experience of drafting regulations will be preferred. The Expert should possess the following qualification and experience:</p><ul><li>MSc in Law or equivalent</li><li>At least 5 years&rsquo; experience in legal drafting</li><li>Familiarity with Gambian law and with food, nutrition, or public health legislation</li><li>Excellent spoken and written English</li><li>Knowledgeable in computer</li></ul><p><strong><u>Full TOR Availability Notice</u></strong></p><p>The full Terms of Reference (TOR) will be made available upon request.

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT:</strong></p><p>The Elol Etas Subdivision Marketing, Allocation and Sale Process (ESMASP) is the government-led process for the transparent marketing, allocation, and sale of residential lots in the Elol Etas (Etas Gardens) Subdivision. It is implemented by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources (MoLNR), with operational and administrative support from the Project Management Unit (PMU) of the Vanuatu Affordable and Resilient Settlements (VARS) Project, financed by the World Bank. The ESMASP Office operates visibly as a MoLNR function, reinforcing that the subdivision is a Government of Vanuatu-led project.</p><p>The ESMASP is delivered by a three-person core implementation team the ESMASP Manager, an ESMASP Project Officer and an ESMASP Applications Officer supported by the VARS PMU and MoLNR and complemented by a defined set of allied in-house resources drawn from the PMU and the Ministry: nominated outreach leads, a pool of PMU interns providing outreach and intake support, in-house database, web-administration and IT support staff, and PMU vehicles. Public awareness, marketing and community engagement are delivered in-house by this team. Applications are received through a single, controlled channel in person at the ESMASP Office, where they are entered directly into the application system by ESMASP staff. Given anticipated oversubscription in the order of 20:1, the integrity of the selection process is the single most important deliverable of the ESMASP, and all positions carry explicit transparency, conflict-of-interest, and documentation obligations.</p><p>&nbsp;The ESMASP Project Officer is responsible for the operational delivery of public awareness, marketing, and community engagement within the team, under the ESMASP Manager&#39;s direction. The role is centred on executing the outreach campaign directly, in line with the calendar, messaging and strategy approved by the ESMASP Manager - working with the allied outreach leads nominated from MoLNR and the PMU, the intern pool, settlement contact points and the Shefa Provincial Council.</p><p><strong>2.

REPORTING:</strong></p><p>The Project Officer reports to the ESMASP Manager, who leads the ESMASP implementation team within the VARS PMU and owns the campaign plan and approved messaging. The Officer works alongside the ESMASP Applications Officer; coordinates the rostered inputs of the allied outreach leads; supervises interns assigned to session logistics; coordinates with settlement contact points and the Shefa Provincial Council; and draws on VARS PMU operational and administrative support, including vehicles and surge support during peak periods. The Officer has no authority to vary the scope or time limits agreed for allied staff; conflicts of priority are referred to the ESMASP Manager. The ESMASP Manager retains strategic ownership of the marketing and communications strategy, the campaign budget, and Project Steering Committee/World Bank liaison on marketing and outreach matters; the Project Officer delivers approved activities operationally in the community and has no authority to vary campaign strategy, budget allocations or approved messaging without the ESMASP Manager&#39;s prior approval.</p><p><strong>6.

The project supports participating Pacific Island Countries (PICs) to maintain continuous access to correspondent banking services, and to address underlying payment, regulatory and financial integrity constraints that contribute to de-risking in the region.</p><p>PICs are exposed to the withdrawal of correspondent banking relationships (CBRs) that underpin international trade, tourism, remittances, development finance, disaster relief, and humanitarian financial flows. The project provides a short-term CBR safety net while supporting the enabling environment and regional harmonization needed for a medium-term sustainable solution.</p><p>Component 2 of the project, Enabling Environment and Regulatory Harmonization, includes support for Payment System Oversight and Regulation. The relevant activity areas include payment systems regulatory harmonization, oversight of national payment systems, and collection of remittance and gender-disaggregated data on usage of financial services. Component 2 also supports payment systems strengthening, CBR Roadmap implementation, the CBR Resilience Index, and the feasibility work for the Pacific Payment Mechanism (PPM), which aims to aggregate payment flows and improve economies of scale.</p><p>The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is in the early phase of operationalizing the MAMI. In June 2026, the Governor of MAMI requested support for an advisor to assist with implementation of the Authority&#39;s operationalization strategy, including review and tailoring of recommendations from the IMF Monetary and Capital Markets Department technical assistance report, Operationalizing A New Monetary Authority. The request also highlighted the need to establish the national payment system in alignment with the World Bank CBR Strengthening Project&#39;s payment system harmonization roadmap.</p><p>The IMF report identifies several payment-related priorities for MAMI. These include the development of a National Payments Strategy (NPS), the establishment of payment operations and payment oversight functions, the creation of a stakeholder consultation mechanism and National Payment Council, the preparation of payment operations and oversight procedures, and the design of an Integrated Payment and Clearing System (IPCS) that can combine ACH, RTGS and instant payment functionality in a phased manner. The report also notes that RMI currently has no centralized payment system, that payment services are dominated by checks, that there is no e-money provider, and that electronic payments remain limited outside selected card and POS use cases.</p><p>This assignment is designed as payment systems technical assistance under the CBR Project&rsquo;s Technical Assistance component. It is framed around the project&#39;s Payment System Oversight and Regulation activities and is expected to support MAMI in converting payment-related IMF recommendations into a practical work plan, institutional arrangements, operating procedures, oversight tools, stakeholder coordination mechanisms, and capacity building outputs.</p><p><strong>Objective of the Position</strong></p><p>The main objective of the Payments System Advisor to MAMI is to provide technical advisory support to MAMI for the establishment of a safe, efficient, inclusive and scalable national payments system and payment system oversight function, aligned with the CBR Project, the CBR Roadmap, regional payment system harmonization work, and the emerging design of the PPM.</p><p>The Advisor will review the payment-related findings and recommendations in the IMF MCM report and assist MAMI to translate the relevant payment system recommendations into a practical implementation approach for RMI. This will include helping MAMI distinguish payment system actions from broader central banking, governance, accounting, audit, reserve management, HR, communications and corporate services matters, and sequencing the payment system actions in line with MAMI&rsquo;s institutional capacity, staffing plans and expected operational priorities.</p><p>In doing so, the Advisor will consider the small scale of the RMI financial sector, the dominance of checks, limited electronic payment usage, geographic dispersion, government payment needs, remittance costs, digital financial-service developments, and MAMI&rsquo;s current staffing and institutional capacity.</p><p><strong>Scope of Services</strong></p><p>The selected Payments System Advisor will provide country-level, time-based technical implementation support for RMI on payment system matters. The work will be coordinated with the PIFS PMU, the PIFS Payment Systems Specialist, the World Bank payments team, IMF MCM and other technical assistance providers as relevant. The Advisor will carry out the following tasks, with timing and level of effort agreed through the 12-month implementation work plan and periodic work planning discussions:</p><p>i. Inception, work planning and IMF recommendation mapping</p><ul><li>Review the IMF MCM report, MAMI Act and related institutional materials, the CBR Project Operations Manual, the CBR Roadmap, available PPM materials, and other relevant documents provided by MAMI, PIFS or the World Bank.</li><li>Prepare an inception report that identifies the payment-related recommendations requiring action by MAMI and separates them from broader central banking, governance, accounting, audit, reserve management, HR, communications, and corporate services matters.</li><li>Develop a 12-month implementation roadmap for the establishment of MAMI&rsquo;s national payments function, with milestones, dependencies, counterpart responsibilities, expected outputs, sequencing assumptions, and coordination points with the World Bank, IMF and PIFS. The roadmap should be aligned with MAMI&rsquo;s expected recruitment of the Banking Operations Department Executive Manager and Payment Systems Operations Manager, anticipated around December 2026 to January 2027, so that the Advisor&rsquo;s support helps prepare for, onboard, and transition responsibilities to these key MAMI counterparts.</li><li>Prepare and periodically update the Advisor&rsquo;s own assignment work plan, aligned with the 12-month MAMI implementation roadmap, counterpart availability, agreed priorities, in-country inputs, and monthly or quarterly work planning discussions with MAMI, PIFS and the World Bank.</li><li>Tailor payment system recommendations to the RMI context, including market size, transaction volumes, institutional capacity, staffing constraints, remittance corridors, public sector payment needs, and affordability for banks and end users.</li></ul><p>ii. Establishment of MAMI&#39;s national payments function</p><ul><li>Advise MAMI on the operational setup, sequencing, staffing profile and accountabilities for its national payments function, including the Payment Operations Division (POD) and Payment Oversight and Policy Division (OVD) recommended by the IMF report.</li><li>Provide advice on the separation of payment system operations and payment system oversight responsibilities within MAMI&rsquo;s payments mandate, including reporting lines, decision processes, internal coordination arrangements, and safeguards to manage potential conflicts between operational and oversight functions.</li><li>Prepare a short skills and capacity building plan for MAMI staff involved in payment operations, payment oversight, payment &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;collection, and stakeholder engagement.</li><li>Assist MAMI to define working procedures and decision flows for its payment system operational and oversight functions, including issue escalation, internal reporting, consultation with supervised or participating institutions, coordination with IT, risk, legal and supervision functions, and referral of matters requiring specialist technical or legal input.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>iii. National Payments Strategy</p><ul><li>Support MAMI to develop a National Payments Strategy that sets out a phased modernization agenda for RMI&rsquo;s national payment system, aligned with the National Financial Inclusion Strategy and coordinated with related work under the CBR Project, regional payment system harmonization agenda, and emerging PPM design.</li><li>Prepare or support a baseline diagnostic covering domestic and cross-border payment flows, CBRs, government payments, remittances, check usage, card and POS usage, payment access, digital infrastructure, consumer needs, and data gaps.</li><li>Identify practical measures to increase use of electronic payments, reduce reliance on checks and cash where appropriate, improve government payment flows, support remittance cost reduction, and expand access to payment services for businesses, households and the public sector.</li><li>Support stakeholder consultations on the NPS, including preparation of consultation materials, meeting notes, issue logs and revisions to the strategy based on feedback received.</li></ul><p>iv. Payment infrastructure and IPCS implementation support</p><ul><li>Advise MAMI on a fit-for-purpose and phased approach to payment infrastructure modernization, including the IMF recommendation for an Integrated Payment and Clearing System combining ACH, RTGS and instant payment functionality.</li><li>Advise MAMI on the preparation, review and sequencing of high-level business requirements and implementation planning for any future IPCS, including initial electronic clearing for wire transfers and checks, check truncation, settlement arrangements, participant onboarding, service levels, operating schedules and support arrangements. The Advisor will help MAMI frame the requirements and coordinate specialist inputs but will not be responsible for preparing detailed technical specifications or system design documents unless separately agreed with PIFS, MAMI and the World Bank.</li><li>Assess the sequencing of ACH, RTGS and instant payment functionality based on RMI transaction volumes, costs, operational readiness, risk profile and user needs.</li><li>Advise MAMI on the issues that should be considered when planning future payment infrastructure, including payment messaging, straight-through processing, ISO 20022 readiness, data security, operational resilience, business continuity, disaster recovery, liquidity risk, settlement risk and participant default arrangements. Where detailed technical design is required, the Advisor will help MAMI identify the issues, review options, and coordinate inputs from specialist payment infrastructure, IT, cybersecurity or World Bank experts.</li><li>Provide payment system technical inputs to procurement documents, concept notes or options papers for the IPCS, as requested by MAMI and the PMU, subject to World Bank procurement rules and conflict-of-interest restrictions.</li></ul><p>v. Payment system oversight, data and risk-based supervision</p><ul><li>Support MAMI to define a payment system oversight framework covering objectives, scope, standards, tools, reporting, escalation, corrective actions and coordination with other MAMI functions.</li><li>Advise MAMI on the scope, structure and phased development of oversight procedures for risk-based monitoring of payment systems and payment service providers, including e-money and non-bank PSPs where relevant. The Advisor may prepare outlines, review drafts and support capacity building, but detailed supervisory manuals, examination procedures or legal instruments should be developed with appropriate specialist and legal input as required.</li><li>Advise MAMI on the payment data and indicators that should be collected for oversight and policy purposes, including payment volumes and values, failed transactions, settlement incidents, fraud, customer complaints, operational incidents, participation, concentration, liquidity risk, credit risk and operational risk. The Advisor may support the development or review of reporting templates in coordination with MAMI, PIFS and the World Bank, but the final templates should be agreed by MAMI and aligned with wider project data requirements.</li><li>Provide technical inputs to and reviews of payment-related regulations, rules, circulars or supervisory guidance as requested, including on electronic payments, PSPs, system participation and operational risk.

Project Background</strong></p><p>The Pacific Island Forum Secretariat (PIFS) is expecting to receive financing from the World Bank (WB) Group&rsquo;s International Development Association (IDA) for a proposed project to enable continuous access to correspondent banking services in Pacific Island Countries (PICs).&nbsp; The PICs covered by the proposed regional project (Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu) include diverse island economies facing similar correspondent banking relationship challenges.</p><p>PICs range in size and topography &ndash; from small island states such as Samoa, with two principal inhabited volcanic islands, to large archipelagos such as the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), with 29 atolls spread over 2 million km2 of ocean. Population sizes vary from 11,300 people in Tuvalu to 930,000 people in Fiji.</p><p>The economic landscape of PICs is equally diverse, marked by different growth drivers, poverty rates, and growth trajectories. The average GDP growth across PICs decelerated to 3.5 percent in 2023 after a historically high of 7.9 percent in 2022, in a rebound from the COVID-19 crisis. However, medium-term growth prospects have worsened, with output growth expected to be significantly below the pre-pandemic trend of 4.7 percent between 2014 &amp; 2019. Given low growth and limited employment opportunities in the island economies, labor migration to neighboring countries and the resulting remittances are critical drivers of living standards.</p><p>The United States, New Zealand, and Australia account for 94 percent of the Pacific diaspora. Trade and tourism are vital for many PICs, providing revenue and employment opportunities. Remittances, equivalent to more than 40 percent of GDP in some PICs, are a buffer against income shocks and an important source of finance for essential household consumption and human capital investment.</p><p>Financial systems in PICs are characterized by low levels of financial access and an uneven development of national payment systems. Both domestically owned and multinational commercial banks dominate the financial sector in all PICs.&nbsp; In several PICs, much of the population lacks access to basic transaction accounts, limiting households and businesses&rsquo; ability to send and receive payments, save, invest, and respond to climatic and economic shocks. The financial market infrastructure is underdeveloped, in part due to limited competition and the lack of economies of scale. The level of national payment system development is uneven across PICs, and regional efforts to improve the efficiency of cross-border payments are limited in scale and scope.</p><p>PICs are uniquely vulnerable to the withdrawal of the correspondent banking relationships (CBR) that underpin international trade, tourism, remittances, and humanitarian financial flows. Correspondent banking is an arrangement under which one bank (correspondent) holds deposits owned by other banks (respondents) and provides payment and other services to those respondent banks. CBRs are an essential feature of the global payment system &ndash; they enable individuals, businesses, and governments to make and receive cross-border payment services related to remittances, e-commerce, trade, and official sector flows. The cross-border transactions enabled in PICs are in various currencies, primarily the US dollar, Euro, and Australian dollar.</p><p>The withdrawal of CBRs, a well-documented global phenomenon affecting many emerging markets and developing economies, has adverse consequences and negative externalities for Pacific Islanders, including seasonal laborers, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and vulnerable populations. Based on publicly available data, the number of active correspondents for Pacific banks has declined significantly since 2011 to levels that put the Pacific financial system overall at risk.</p><p>In order to mitigate the issues identified above, the WB will provide funding to the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) to implement the proposed &ldquo;Pacific Strengthening Correspondent Banking Relationships Project&rdquo;.&nbsp; The Pacific Islands Forum was established to bring together the region to address pressing issues and challenges and foster collaboration and cooperation in pursuing shared goals. PIF&rsquo;s mandate is to strengthen cooperation and integration in the Pacific region through the pooling of regional governance, resources, and the alignment of policies, furthering Forum members&#39; shared goals of economic growth, sustainable development, good governance, and security. Founded in 1971, it comprises 18 members: Australia, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, French Polynesia, Kiribati, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The PIFS is a vital platform for Leaders to convene, engage in discussions, and agree on policies that will benefit the people of the region.</p><p>The project will have two components: (1) Temporary correspondent banking services and (2) Enabling environment and regulatory harmonization.&nbsp; The proposed project will be implemented by a Project Management Unit (PMU) within the PIFS with strategic project oversight provided by a Project Steering Committee (PSC) comprised of representatives of participating Pacific Finance Ministers. While the PMU will be responsible for day-to-day project activities, it will need to ensure close collaboration and coordination with participating Ministries of Finance, which will oversee project activities and approve work plans through the PSC.</p><p>Comprising of Secretaries of Finance or other officials from the participating PICs finance ministries and the PIFS Director (Programs and Initiative), the PSC will meet on a quarterly basis and be responsible for the approval of key project activities as needed. The PSC will report to Pacific Finance Ministers annually at the Forum Economic Minister Meeting (FEMM) to ensure that strategic guidance and orientation are provided over the project activities. At the technical level, each participating PIC will be required to nominate a competent&nbsp;&nbsp; government official as a Country Focal Point (CFP) responsible for project coordination at the national level, who will be designated as the point of contact with the PMU and the WB team.</p><p>The competent government official in each PIC will be complemented by a <strong>country coordinator (CC) based in-country</strong>, recruited through the PMU, and responsible for coordinating service delivery at the individual country level.</p><p>The PIFS is now seeking qualified and competent national consultants from each member country to be the <strong>country coordinator (CC)</strong> for the PMU and based in the respective participating Pacific Island countries (PICs).&nbsp; The required positions are expected to be selected by the PIFS in accordance with the WB&rsquo;s &lsquo;Procurement Regulations for Investment Project Financing (IPF) Borrowers&rsquo; (Procurement Regulations), Seventh edition, September 2025, and as amended over time.</p><p><strong>3.

Project Background</strong></p><p>The Pacific Island Forum Secretariat (PIFS) is expecting to receive financing from the World Bank (WB) Group&rsquo;s International Development Association (IDA) for a proposed project to enable continuous access to correspondent banking services in Pacific Island Countries (PICs).&nbsp; The PICs covered by the proposed regional project (Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu) include diverse island economies facing similar correspondent banking relationship challenges.</p><p>PICs range in size and topography &ndash; from small island states such as Samoa, with two principal inhabited volcanic islands, to large archipelagos such as the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), with 29 atolls spread over 2 million km2 of ocean. Population sizes vary from 11,300 people in Tuvalu to 930,000 people in Fiji.</p><p>The economic landscape of PICs is equally diverse, marked by different growth drivers, poverty rates, and growth trajectories. The average GDP growth across PICs decelerated to 3.5 percent in 2023 after a historically high of 7.9 percent in 2022, in a rebound from the COVID-19 crisis. However, medium-term growth prospects have worsened, with output growth expected to be significantly below the pre-pandemic trend of 4.7 percent between 2014 &amp; 2019. Given low growth and limited employment opportunities in the island economies, labor migration to neighboring countries and the resulting remittances are critical drivers of living standards.</p><p>The United States, New Zealand, and Australia account for 94 percent of the Pacific diaspora. Trade and tourism are vital for many PICs, providing revenue and employment opportunities. Remittances, equivalent to more than 40 percent of GDP in some PICs, are a buffer against income shocks and an important source of finance for essential household consumption and human capital investment.</p><p>Financial systems in PICs are characterized by low levels of financial access and an uneven development of national payment systems. Both domestically owned and multinational commercial banks dominate the financial sector in all PICs.&nbsp; In several PICs, much of the population lacks access to basic transaction accounts, limiting households and businesses&rsquo; ability to send and receive payments, save, invest, and respond to climatic and economic shocks. The financial market infrastructure is underdeveloped, in part due to limited competition and the lack of economies of scale. The level of national payment system development is uneven across PICs, and regional efforts to improve the efficiency of cross-border payments are limited in scale and scope.</p><p>PICs are uniquely vulnerable to the withdrawal of the correspondent banking relationships (CBR) that underpin international trade, tourism, remittances, and humanitarian financial flows. Correspondent banking is an arrangement under which one bank (correspondent) holds deposits owned by other banks (respondents) and provides payment and other services to those respondent banks. CBRs are an essential feature of the global payment system &ndash; they enable individuals, businesses, and governments to make and receive cross-border payment services related to remittances, e-commerce, trade, and official sector flows. The cross-border transactions enabled in PICs are in various currencies, primarily the US dollar, Euro, and Australian dollar.</p><p>The withdrawal of CBRs, a well-documented global phenomenon affecting many emerging markets and developing economies, has adverse consequences and negative externalities for Pacific Islanders, including seasonal laborers, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and vulnerable populations. Based on publicly available data, the number of active correspondents for Pacific banks has declined significantly since 2011 to levels that put the Pacific financial system overall at risk.</p><p>In order to mitigate the issues identified above, the WB will provide funding to the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) to implement the proposed &ldquo;Pacific Strengthening Correspondent Banking Relationships Project&rdquo;.&nbsp; The Pacific Islands Forum was established to bring together the region to address pressing issues and challenges and foster collaboration and cooperation in pursuing shared goals. PIF&rsquo;s mandate is to strengthen cooperation and integration in the Pacific region through the pooling of regional governance, resources, and the alignment of policies, furthering Forum members&#39; shared goals of economic growth, sustainable development, good governance, and security.
