The participating countries include Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, and Kiribati.

The programme’s goals are the following:

- Accelerating the adoption of digital transformation related enabling policies, legislation and strategies across the various sectors (education, agriculture, health, employment, commerce, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) amongst others) by advocating a whole-of-government approach to digital transformation at institutional and individual levels.
- Piloting the smart islands approach in at least five remote islands and villages in the Micronesian countries.
