Natural Resource Management – 2004
2004
Minimum Implementation 
The 2004 Draft Federal Constitution of Solomon Islands, published in October, provided for greater autonomy for provincial governments within provincial boundaries over matters of governance and distribution of resources, including taxation, legislation, adoption of state constitution, and establishment of state justice systems. However, the draft did not explicitly delineate land management as exclusively states’ jurisdiction.[1]
