Donor coordination. Strong coordination amongst development partners, notably with the Government of Australia, was essential to the program's success. Australia provided in-line advisors to support the government to implement many of the program-related reforms (e.g., within the MOF and NUC) as well as TA that complemented the program. ADB's donor coordination role also meant ADB was requested by Nauru and its development partners to assist with the crucial task of establishing a new Nauru trust fund.
