Cook Islands: National sustainable development plan 2011-2015

In 2007 the Cook Islands launched the country’s 2020 visionary framework - Te Kaveinga Nui, articulating the National Vision and Development Outcomes desired by the Cook Islands which would be realised through a three phase medium term planning approach. Te Kaveinga Nui was accompanied by the first National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) 2007-2010, a strategy on how to progress towards the 2020 outcomes during the first phase, then to be followed by NSDP 2011-2015 and finally 2015-2020. The NSDP 2011-2015 is the second planning phase.

The purpose of the NSDP is to set national goals, the expected results and effective strategies to guide policy decisions over the medium term in order to realise the 2020 Development Outcomes that aim to deliver on Te Kaveinga Nui National Vision. The National Vision and 2020 Development Outcomes demonstrate an approach that brings together social, economic and environmental priorities underpinned by good governance, culture and effective partnerships.
