Pacific Regional Infrastructure Facility (PRIF)
PRIF is a practical application of the commitment of country governments and development agencies to improve infrastructure services and development coordination. PRIF is designed to commit development partners to improve development effectiveness in the infrastructure sector through closer coordination, increased use of partner country systems, and longer term support.
The PRIF partners are working with other development partners and organisations in the region to provide support for increased and equitable access to reliable and affordable energy. This includes exploring options for extensions to existing networks and supporting off-grid solutions for local generation that can provide rural populations with reliable access to energy.
PRIF is also working with Pacific island countries to build on existing good work in telecommunications across the Pacific.
PRIF is then involved in long-term transport infrastructure support in Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Samoa and Tonga.
Finally, PRIF partners are providing support for water and sanitation by building on and improving sectoral support in urban areas of Kiribati, Samoa, and Vanuatu.
