The project was also being supported by the World Bank and the Government of Australia through the Pacific Regional Infrastructure Facility.
The ADB grant was to go to the construction of important road network links by adding an extra 7.8 kilometres of paved road and half a kilometre of unpaved road to cover additional areas in Betio and Bairiki linked to the current project.
