The Country Programme for 2019 to 2022 outlines a framework to achieve priorities in reaching the country's Sustainable Development Goals.

President Hilda Heine said the plan laid out a clear path on areas needing more focus including statistics, biosecurity, agriculture and non-communicable diseases.

She said the country was grateful to the SPC for its technical and scientific support in areas such as fisheries, education, disaster risk reduction, and climate change.
