revenue to overcome a chronic budget  deficit and encourage economic self reliance
has led the  Government of Tuvalu to extend the trust concept to outer  island
development. This paper looks at the role of trust  funds in economic development in
Pacific Island Countries  including a brief review of relevant country experience.  The
success factors of the TTF are outlined along with how  the trust fund concept is being
adapted to bottom up  community based development in Tuvalu. Lastly,  possible
future directions are explored.},
