Overall Summary: 
The RMI National Strategic Plan, (NSP) is an instrument, which provides for the RMI development strategies for the three year period 2015–2017. The NSP of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) was developed through a collaborative process among government ministries and agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sector. The NSP provides for the development of strategies for the three year period 2015–2017 towards self-sustainability and efficiency. This will be achieved through enhanced access to energy, renewable energy in outer islands and energy efficiency, including the development of a building code. It was developed through a collaborative process among government ministries and agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sector. It represents a roadmap for government leaders for development and progress in the medium term (2015–2017). ---Note: MEC (Marshalls Energy Company).
