| Summary: | Solomon Islands is a small, remote
archipelago in the South Pacific that faces a fairly unique
set of development challenges. Solomon Islands is now at a
critical juncture in its development trajectory. Neither the
economic geography nor the present political economy of
Solomon Islands is particularly conducive to the
establishment of state institutions capable of managing
upcoming socioeconomic change. Because of the weaknesses of
state institutions, and consistent with Solom on Islands’
historical experience, a variety of non-state and
international actors will need to play important roles in
managing upcoming and potentially risky socioeconomic
change. This Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) for Solomon
Islands identifies key challenges and opportunities for
achieving inclusive and sustainable growth, to accelerate
progress toward the World Bank Group’s twin goals of
reducing extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. |
