In the context of the Plan, this paper discusses the status of national information and library policy development in the country using a critical analysis approach against the backdrop of the Statement of Intent of the Pacific Libraries Summit held in 2018 and its strategies and work plan. The outcomes of this paper will provide an indication of the status of national information and library policy development; the obstacles to their development and recommendations that might also be stimulus for other Pacific Islands.
