This is guided by the visions and aspirations of our people for a vibrant economy supported by good infrastructure and energy security; where our people have opportunities to fulfill their potential; are resilient to disasters and climate change impacts; and live in a healthy environment - Te Kaveinga Nui, National Sustainability Development Plan. Capital investments from all sources was scheduled for $67.843 million in 2015/16. This is expected to increase significantly in the 2016/17 Budget, to $81.240 million. The increase is largely attributed to the $12.980 million loan administered by ADB to complete the transformation of electricity generation from diesel to solar power for the Southern Cook Islands. This brings total investment in capital over the four-year period from 2016/17 to 2019/20 at $160 million, financed through government funds, loans and overseas development assistance.
