Development – 2001
2001
No amendments to the National Provident Fund were made in 2001.
No Memorandum of Understanding between the conflicting parties to ascertain development incentives for Guadalcanal and Malaita was signed in 2001.
In 2001, several projects related to development and reconstruction were initiated. However, given the financial constraints of the Solomon Islands Government, these were largely funded externally. In January 2001, an Asian Development Bank launched the Post-Conflict Emergency Rehabilitation Project. It was specifically allocated to repair roads in Honiara, West Guadalcanal, East Guadalcanal, and Malaita, bridges in East Guadalcanal, West Guadalcanal and Malaita, as well as the rehabilitation of provincial buildings and water supplies. The scheduled date of completion was December 31, 2003. However, the initiation of the projects was delayed and did not occur in 2001.[1]
No information on health and education development projects or expenditures available for 2001.
