Xianbin Yao, ADB Director General for the Pacific, opened the Coral Triangle Pacific annual implementation review workshops held in Manila on 23 -26 April 2013. The technical assistance forms part of one of three ADB regional technical assistance projects in support of the Coral Triangle Initiative.
It is a relatively large assistance project, administered by ADB with funding from the Global Environment Facility Pacific Alliance for Sustainability at around $15 million, and with in-kind contributions from the five participating Pacific countries; three of them—Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste—from within the Coral Triangle, and two adjacent countries, Fiji and Vanuatu, which share common environmental concerns with the other three.
