The Moloka'i Rural Development Project (MRDP) is part of the Hawai'i Statewide Rural Development Project, an initiative spearheaded by Senator Daniel Inouye for the purpose of rural workforce and economic development on all major Hawai'ian islands. Funds from the Department of Labor are administered through the University of Hawai'i, which draws upon the existence and strengths of its rural community colleges to deliver programs to their respective island populations. Programs are in progress on all islands.
