The 2022 State and Private Forestry Fact Sheet for the Marshall Islands.
As a small island state located in the Northern Pacific, the country is challenged by both external and internal factors impeding economic growth and development. The size of the RMI is small in comparison to the other more developed economies of the Pacific region, with a population of about 60,000 and a GDP growth rate of 3.6% as of the FY2017 data. The major sectors in the RMI include fisheries, agriculture, industry and services.
Graphs and tables quantifying overall copra production within the RMI from 2013-2020, across atolls from fiscal years 2019-2020, and monthly production from 2020 into 2021.
This report summarises results of a rapid country scan on the agriculture-nutrition nexus in the
Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). Research included a desk review of accessible policies,
programmes and other documents, published and unpublished, as well as a field mission to RMI
from 11 to 30 December 2017. The mission allowed additional quantitative and qualitative data
gathering with interviews, site visits and a small seminar to debrief interviews, present
preliminary findings and discuss potential follow-up with some stakeholders.
This Forest Action Plan identifies the RMI’s highest priorities for forest resource management and needs for assistance from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (USFS). State assessments and resource strategies are integral to the Forest Service’s State and Private Forestry (S&PF) redesign and required as an amendment to the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act (CFAA), as enacted in the 2008 Farm Bill.
How do we Marshallese envisage our future? What kind of society do we want to become? How can we maintain and enhance a united and inclusive Marshallese identity? What are the transformations needed to improve our social and economic situation? How can we ensure sustainable development in the face of the growing concerns for the survival of the country from the existential threat of climate change and sea level rise, in addition to the unresolved nuclear legacy we continue to endure?
These are some of the main issues The National Strategic Plan (NSP) 2020–2030 addresses.

Objectives:
In 2015–2016, the Government of Papua New Guinea (PNG), through its Conservation and Environmental Protection Authority (CEPA) and with the support of United Nations Development Program (UNDP), organised an evaluation of its protected areas, as part of the process to improve management effectiveness.
PNG’s Policy on Protected Areas commits to regular evaluation of management effectiveness and to taking remedial action to improve effectiveness over time.
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is the largest Pacific Island country in total land area (some 460,000 square kilometers (sq km) and second in respect to ocean area (some 3 million sq km within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). PNG’s population of over some 6 million people is sparsely distributed: population density strands at about 9 people per sq km which is the lowest in the south pacific region.
