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.

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programmes and other documents, published and unpublished, as well as a field mission to RMI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.

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 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.
