Donor Support – 2001
2001
The Solomon Islands continued to receive international assistance in 2001, with financial and material support coming from Britain,[1][2] Japan,[3] UNICEF, [4] the EU, [5] Australia,[6] and New Zealand.[7] However, these donations were for overarching governance functions and election-holding and were not specific to compensation projects. The Solomon Islands Government accepted a total of $25 million USD from Taiwan (to be distributed over time) for the compensation of landowners whose property had been damaged during the conflict.[8]
