Development Coordination Division

The Division is directed by the Cook Islands Development Partner Policy and reports to the National Sustainable Development Commission (NSDC).

The Division fosters relationships with a broad range of development partners to broker coordinated arrangements. These activities are increasingly delivered through diverse partnerships at a variety of levels including local government, civil society, private sector and national government agencies.
