This teaching case pertains to the spending and development decisions that must be made concerning the disposition of a sizable fictional grant that has been provided to the Republic of Kiribati. The overall objective of the case is to provide students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge of international development, business and macroeconomics to determine a strategic direction for an economically challenged island nation in the Central Pacific. The case is oriented towards upper-level undergraduate or graduate level students in a discipline relating to international development, policy or business and can be taught within a one hour class with little or no outside student preparation.
