Overview
There is no manufacturing/production of operational support equipment that would likely be required for a humanitarian action. The exception to this is water tanks; there is a manufacturer on South Tarawa producing quality PVC tanks in a range of sizes.
There are limited wholesale operations providing hardware for generally domestic rather than commercial usage. There are several general hardware stores on South Tarawa with reasonable selections however for items such as tents, water pumps, pipes, computers/IT equipment, office furniture, generators etc., it is suggested that these should be imported by aid agencies requiring them to guarantee availability, especially if larger quantities are likely to be required. These goods will generally need to be transported from Australia, New Zealand or Fiji, which is currently where most supplies in the country come from.
There are no suppliers of any goods in quantity on the outer islands. All goods there have been transhipped from Tarawa, or Christmas Island in the case of the Line and Phoenix Island groups.
