The Bank's representative in the Pacific, Lasse Melgaard, says governments must meet certain criteria to be eligible for the grant.
These include development of an asset management framework or a disaster response mechanism.
Mr Melgaard told Christine Rovoi Tuvalu was able to access the money quickly after the disaster.
