| Summary: | The country has an area of 18,000 km
spread over 332 islands, of which about 110 are inhabited.
Most of the population lives on two large islands, Viti Levu
and Vanua Levu. Fiji faces significant development
challenges, and the government has set ambitious development
objectives to address them. Economic growth in Fiji has been
relatively slow in the last decades. Recently, the 20-year
and 5-year National Development Plan was prepared to respond
to this situation; its ambitious objectives are to more than
double the real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita by
2036 and to provide universal access to all services,
including housing, electricity, clean and safe water and
sanitation, high-quality education, and health care. |
