The Government of Kiribati has established the Kiribati Urban Reform Program (KURP). The goal of this program is “to ensure that I-Kiribati have reliable and safe access to public utilities”. The three Government of Kiribati implementing agencies of KURP are the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Energy (MISE), the Public Utility Board (PUB) and the Ministry of Line and Phoenix Islands (MLPID), with funding support being provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT).

Within the constraints given below the PUB wishes to examine suitable prepaid and post-paid meter technologies and develop a plan to introduce the preferred technology and at the same time address the installation, technical and social issues that will arise as the new meter installations are rolled out. This consultancy shall address both the meter selection, the method used for prepayment, the options for supply and installation and widespread introduction of the prepaid meters.
