Asian Development Bank – Assessing and Addressing Risks in Pacific Construction Supply Chains

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has published a report titled "Assessing and Addressing Risks in Pacific Construction Supply Chains," focusing on the challenges faced by the construction sector in the Pacific region. The report examines how the Pacific region's complex operating landscape affects supply chain risks for the construction sector and analyzes ways to mitigate these risks. It reviews major goods and infrastructure supply chains related to the construction sector across 14 Pacific island countries, focusing on how the region's unique challenges—such as geographic isolation, limited infrastructure, and vulnerability to natural disasters—impact the construction industry. The study emphasizes the need for strategic planning and risk management to enhance the resilience and efficiency of construction supply chains in the Pacific.
