Key findings include: Under Partnership Objective 1 (Public sector management) significant progress has been made toward partnership targets of better budget management, revenue collection, debt reduction and improved public procurement systems. We are on track to achieve partnership targets by 2015, but capacity in Nauru's Department of Finance continues to constrain delivery of the country's ambitious reform agenda. Under Objective 2 (Improved education) Australian aid is contributing to better education infrastructure and facilities, more and better qualified teachers, improved enrolment rates and take up of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programs. We have concerns about the slow progress on improving education outcomes although expect this to improve as institutional improvements in the sector start to have an effect. We are on track to achieve the partnership targets for education by 2015. Under Objective 3 (Improved health) the focus on institutional strengthening has resulted in improvements to the quality of healthcare services and facilities. The challenge is to translate these improved services into better health outcomes for the community. While Nauru has made strong progress toward health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remains high. Greater engagement in regular policy discussion is required if progress is to continue to build. We are on track to meet the partnership targets for improved health by 2015.
