Cook Islands National Sustainable Development Plan 2007 - 2010: Te Kaveinga Nui

This report was prepared by the Central Planning and Policy Office and the Economic Policy Division Government of the Cook Islands. “Te Kaveinga Nui” was developed to guide the national development into the future. It is a pathway that sets out a 15 year visionary framework called ‘Living the Cook Islands Vision – A 2020 Challenge’. The starting point for meeting our long term vision is the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) 2007-2010. While comprehensive, “Te Kaveinga Nui” re-affirms our commitment to our international and regional partners through the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), Mauritius Declaration, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), CEDAW, Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), Pacific Plan, PICTA, PACER amongst other Conventions. This ensures our development efforts are balanced across the three pillars of sustainable development: economic, environment and social growth.
