Solomon Islands : Towards Better Investment in Rural Communities

The aim of Solomon Islands Towards Better Investment in Rural Communities is to assist policymakers, program sponsors and implementers to make informed decisions about the design, financing, governance and overall advantages and disadvantages of programs that invest in small-scale infrastructure and income-generating opportunities for rural communities in the Solomon Islands. Completed in mid-2014, the report identifies ways to strengthen the current mechanisms for investing in rural service delivery by examining the three main types of financing for small-scale infrastructure and livelihood activities constituency, province and community-oriented funds in a national and global context across four key programs between 2008 and 2012. A summary of the programs is provided in Table 1. The report explores the following key components across the four programs: analysis and consolidation of sub-project data; local development planning; efficiency and effectiveness; accountability, transparency and dispute management; and sustainability.
