1. Introduction To strengthen informed and inclusive decision-making by resource owners and local government officials for integration of green economy (GE) and renewable energy (RE) into local level planning and to strengthen implementation of renewable energy (RE) infrastructure for rural electrification, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and the Pacific Islands Development Forum (PIDF) partnership, with funding from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), has led to the development of this project titled Capacity Building to Strengthen Sustainable Implementation of Renewable Energy Technologies for Rural Energy Access.

This national workshop, conducted in Solomon Islands by Pacific Islands Development Forum in partnership with the GGGI and Energy Division of the Ministry of Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification (MMERE), ensued the official launching of the regional project in Suva, Fiji. It was organized to engage and get the support of key national stakeholders before the national implementation of the project. The workshop turnout was good, with participants representing different institutions including the Government Ministries, Youth Council, Private Sector, People with Disability and Local community Leaders. The concept note for the workshop is attached as Annex 1

1.1 Objectives of the Workshop The national workshop had four main objectives: 1. To introduce the project to national stakeholders, and to seek support towards implementation of the project, 2. To review and confirm pre-selected sites in the country for the project implementation, 3. To review and confirm the type of training modules relevant for the locally targeted groups, and 4. To identity potential individuals/organizations/agencies to assist in delivering the training workshops at the national and provincial levels With a good mix of sector and institutional representation in the workshop, deliberations, were very effective and interactive. The Agenda and flyer for the workshop is attached as Annex 2 and Annex 3

1.2 Participants A total of 18 people attended the national workshop. The institutions represented in the workshop were GGGI, National Government Ministries, Private Sector, and People with Disability Solomon Islands, Local Community Leaders, Solomon Islands National University (SINU), Honiara Youth Council and Youth at Work. The participants included a physically challenged person, 3 women and 14 men. For the full list of participants, refer to Annex 4

2. Workshop Opening Opening Address was delivered by Mr. Gabriel Aimaea -Energy Division Deputy Director, Ministry of Mines Energy and Rural Electrification (MMERE) Gabriel Aimaea in his opening remarks highlighted the main objective of the workshop, which was to have confirmation from the participants on the Project Implementation Sites of Guadalcanal and Central, confirmation on the Training Modules and Learning Outcomes and the identification of potential partners, organizations and individuals for supporting in the delivery of training to the target groups. He emphasized the importance of the workshop, with the foremost aim of introducing the project to national stakeholders, seek support towards implementation of the project, and the need to have a wider collaboration from different stakeholders, which would ensure the success of the project. He said the project was also very important in order to help achieve the Solomon Islands National Development Strategy in terms of addressing sustainability by using renewable energy sources. The Deputy Director acknowledged that the representation from different stakeholders certainly provided important and collective decision making towards the Capacity Building to Strengthen Sustainable Implementation of Renewable Energy Technologies for Rural Energy Access Project.

3. Project Overview Mr. Mohammad Tazil, Regional Project Manager for Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) presented the project overview informing the participants on the objective to strengthen informed and inclusive decision- making by resource owners and local government officials for integration of Green Economy (GE) and Renewable Energy (RE) into Local Level Planning and to strengthen implementation of renewable energy (RE) infrastructure for rural electrification. Tazil informed that the project will be implemented in the Melanesian countries of Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, with the aim of training 3000 people, around 750 per country. Therefore, the sites selected locally must have sufficient people in targeted groups to achieve this figure. There will be national trainers selected to attend regional pilot training event, after which the main training-of-trainers event will be conducted, who will run these capacity building trainings at the selected rural communities for the targets groups. In the Solomon Islands, the project will be coordinated by the Pacific Islands Development Forum in partnership with the Energy Division of the Ministry of Mines and Rural Electrification. A Project steering committee (PSC) has been set up with its first meeting held on the 11th of April in Suva, which consists of government officials from the four participating countries and a representative each from GGGI, PIDF and KOICA. One of the roles of the PSC is to provide recommendations and advice for the project’s planning and implementation and assist with M&E and provide high-level guidance and oversight of the project as well as ensure smooth internal communication. Targeted audiences for this project will be community leaders, vulnerable groups (women group leaders, youth leaders), local government leaders, local technicians, and small businesses. For Green Energy, there are four training modules will include General Principles, Energy Efficiency Basics, Green Business Basics, and Inclusive Development. The remaing six Renewable energy modules include RE General Principles, Solar in the community, Pico

Mr. Tazil also highlighted that to gain the maximum benefits in terms of capacity building and to initiate a database of Green Education, once set up, a Web-based Knowledge Platform on Green Education will be available to a broad audience around the Pacific and other Small Island Developing States, which will virtually host training materials suitable for local government and communities of the Pacific region.

4. Presentation of Solomon Islands Country Needs Assessment Summary

Mr, Hamptan Pitu, the Solomon Islands Project Coordinator, presented on the Solomon Islands Needs Assessment , which was carried out from 19th – 22nd February, 2019. Meetings were held with different stakeholders and institutions. The stakeholders consulted during the mission included national government and provincial government officials, representatives of locally registered training institutions and energy project officers. The project preliminary assessment identified Guadalcanal and Central provinces as potential rural sites for implementing this project. These sites have been prioritized based on current and pipeline Renewable Energy (RE) projects earmarked for implementation. These related projects are either funded by donors, Solomon Power and the Constituency Development Funds through the National Government Projects. Some of the sites also have schools, rural clinics and provincial centers operating which gives a reasonable population for the project to be implemented.

4.1 Challenges to implementing RE Projects in Solomon Islands

The kickoff mission has also highlighted some challenges to implementing RE projects in rural areas of Solomon Island, and some of which are common to other Pacific Island countries, these include; ● Insufficient personnel with basic skills and knowledge to operate and maintain Electrification systems in rural communities. ● Lack of proper management of systems in place to take care of the systems, ● Inadequate funding allocations for maintenance of the system, ● Community disputes, ● High cost of replacement parts, ● Insufficient information on where to access spare parts, ● Lack of spare parts, ● High logistics costs for shipping parts. ● Distance from main market centers

4.2 Current and pipeline RE projects within preselected sites A few of the current and pipeline RE projects identified within the preselected sites include; ● Grid extension of Solomon Power ● Tina Hydro ● OBA project funded by World Bank through Solomon Power

4.3 Training Gaps Some of the training gaps identified in these selected sites are; ● There is high GE, RE and EE knowledge gap between main urban and sub-national levels and the rural communities. ● Low literacy level is a challenge in rural communities. ● Most knowledge enhancement trainings are mostly only conducted in main urban centers. ● Inadequate rural training centers, plus, no GE, RE and EE courses offered in their training modules, even at the main centers which is minimal.

5. Project Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Presenting on the Monitoring and Evaluation component of the project, Ms. Afsrin Ali, Coordinator Programme Management of the Pacific Islands Development Forum (PIDF), highlighted that M&E is one of the most critical aspects of the project, being the method of systematically measuring and assessing the project activities and results. Afsrin informed the participants that the purpose of this phase is to check on the progress of implementation and outputs systematically, emphasizing that Monitoring and Evaluation also helps to determine if a project is moving according to plan and if changes may be needed.

The overall approach to M&E for this project would be based on the logical framework approach and be the joint responsibility of GGGI and PIDF and an external independent evaluator hired by KOICA. Gender segregated data would also be collected and the project would have the Project Steering Committee (PSC) oversight. There would be periodic monitoring by GGGI and PIDF through visits to target sites and a project mid-point review could also be conducted by GGGI. After the project completion, there would be a Post- project assessment of outcomes carried out by KOICA after a period of 2 years to evaluate the impact of this project on the communities.

Afsrin informed the meeting, that key performance indicators (KPIs) is the only way to gauge a project's success and improve upon the work formula for the future. KPIs should be closely linked to project goals and are important in defining success for the project. For this project, the KPI’s included:  at least 40% of women and  20% of persons from vulnerable groups providing inputs and participating in decision- making meetings, committees, etc.  Ten Training Modules, of suitable training materials and processes prepared and translated targeting women and vulnerable groups.

 At least 70% proportion of participants in training, who agree that their knowledge of GE and RE has increased after attending the training.  that 70% of community committee members and local technicians trained in financial management and O&M for RE who agree that the training will assist in better O&M of their local RE installations.

Afsrin stated that the GGGI Online software on which Project updates (including any measured indicators are entered monthly, and reports are available at any time, would be used as Measurement and Tracking indicator. The main source of data would be from the Pre-implementation surveys and Post-training surveys and would also have a list of trainers and training participants and other details as indicated in the log frame spreadsheet.

6. Web Based Knowledge Platform Emphasizing the advantages to online learning, which included course material accessibility, flexible scheduling, more academic options, the opportunity to build valuable skills and as a repository for project training materials on Green Education, Afsrin informed that, when completed, the Web-based Knowledge Platform on Green Education, will be available to a broad audience around the Pacific and other Small Island Developing States and would act as a repository for all the training materials from this project, and also make available other training materials suitable for local government and communities of the Pacific region.

Casing the Pacific Green Business Centre (PGBC) as an example of an impactful and successful online platform for Sustainable Green Business practices of the Pacific, Afsrin informed that the Green Education Platform was envisioned to have a similar success but based on Green Education with information on training materials, publications, reports, Case Studies on best practices and enable Students as well as the wider Pacific Communities to have free access to materials related to Green Education. The workshop presentation is attached as Annex 5

10. Discussion Outcomes of Breakout Session 2

10.1 Confirmation of Training Modules and Learning Outcomes Given the recent transition of Solomon Islands towards Solarization and the emerging companies supplying solar parts and components, the participants were generally in support of the training modules and many thought that these were very relevant to rural communities in the Solomon Islands.

In terms of customization of activities and feedback in general, the following was recommended: 1. GE General Principles: participants stated that there was no need to separate it but it would be more applicable to have some case studies of bad practices and good practices of Solomon’s islands, in terms of Green Principles. Also suggestions were made to simplify the message in the Training Modules for women and customize the training materials for the vulnerable. Some suggestions included having video clips of relevant training in order to disseminate information to community level. The general principle training emphasis should be specific on solar, Pico-hydro and also small wind turbine. Suggestion of establishing sustainable network amongst target audience such as a training network platform was also raised and also for basic proposal writing. One such example given was the importance of rivers and streams and how women use the river for washing.

2. Energy Efficiency Basics - suggestions were made to use visual teaching and training aids, such as flash cards, short video clips and animations with details of the training integrated into them. The narrations of the short video could be in the local language with subtitles in English.

3. Solar in the community - provide more practical and hands on example, such as demonstrations and Case studies for women – similar success stories from the Pacific e.g. the Barefoot College case study of Fiji. Conduct Pre-assessment on literacy level on the community to capture the understanding of the rural populace with regards to Solar.

4. Solar O&M Basics – Remains the same for all modules

5. Pico-Hydro in the community and Pico-Hydro O&M Basics - Same for all Suggestion of awareness to communities on genuine brand to be used and also the inclusion of Environmental and social impacts and requirements of the Pico-hydro development

6. RE Financial Management - Same for all. The participant suggest that there should be demonstration of basic level of understanding on developing a concept note or proposal to apply for available funding

7. With respect to Solomon Islands cultural sensitivity, a suggestion was made to have female trainers for the women participants in the Solomon Islands communities. This will help with the traditional requirements of women often not allowed to speak or part- take in certain events. There was also mention of a tradition which does not allow for siblings of opposite sexes to sit or talk in same forum.

11. Group Breakout Session 3

11.1 Identification of Potential Partners to assist in training delivery at National and Community Level The workshop participants deliberated on the section 9 and 10 points and some of the ideas raised were as follows:

11.2 Discussion Outcomes of Breakout Session 3 11.2.1 Identification of Potential Partners to assist in training delivery at National and Community Level Some availability of training materials could be sourced from the Solomon Island National University (SINU), which runs a Diploma in Solar Photovoltaic, which was currently in cabinet for approval. The School of Natural Resources and Applied Science also has an Environment Management Programme that can be referred. A suggestion from the private sector was that a Letter of request be forwarded to the Private sector (Business and Companies) dealing or supplying solar panels and components requesting for demo models of solar setup and also for any training manuals.

11.2.2 Some Partners identified for Training delivery: 1. Solomon Islands National University (SINU) 2. Mr Tapera Bird from a company called SuperFly 3. Distance flexible learning - SINU 4. Lifelong Learning Centre – SINU 5. PICO Hydro – Pelena – Nixon Silas 6. Pidgin Holdings 7. Willies Company 8. DSE Solomon – Community Trainers/ Liasons 9. Youth Organisations – Qualified trainers Honiara Youth Council 10. Honiara City Council – Youth Division

12. Concluding Comments from Workshop Participants  In conclusion, the participants suggested that it was important to customize the training methodology according to the Literacy level.  It was also important to note the traditional and cultural appropriation of different groups i.e. gender segregation. Rural communities do not encourage male and female youths to assemble and engage in activities together, for example, the Guadalcanal province has strong gender segregation  A youth participant thanked the facilitators stating that young people really appreciate development and that the project should reflect the National Development Strategy.

Constraints on Sustainability of Current Projects

The team identified several challenges for the project. These included: • Lack of national technical expertise; • When things go wrong, there are not many options in terms of technicians who can be contacted to come to solve the issue; • Accessibility to many communities is complicated and expensive; • Distrust in the technologies – exacerbated by electoral gifts of cheap, poor quality solar units.
