  • SOLOMON ISLANDS Can Dopretty Muchwhatever Youwant,Andwillbelimited Onlybyyourimagination
    © Lonely Planet Publications 246 Solomon Islands One of the last South Pacific frontiers, these islands are Melanesia at its most inspiring and secretive. Wanting to get off the beaten path? It’s easy: there is no beaten path. Just you, the ocean, dense rainforest and traditional villages; it feels like the world’s end. In this enigmatic archipelago, blessed with a compelling history, intriguing cultures and natural beauty, opportunities to create your own trail abound. It’s all about eco-travel: climb an extinct volcano, trek across a mountainous landscape as old as dinosaurs, slog through jungle paths to reach secluded waterfalls, and experience the leaf-hut villages where trad- itional culture is alive. Those looking for a bit less swashbuckling and more creature comforts will delight in soothing eco-lodges and the majestic scenery from a tranquil sundeck. This is only the beginning. Divers will be in seventh heaven, whether exploring Marovo Lagoon’s reefs or diving around the fleet of WWII ship and plane wrecks resting on the seafloor between Guadalcanal and Tulagi. Kayaking, surfing and fishing are also here. Above the surface, plenty of WWII relics scattered in the jungle will captivate history buffs. The question, though, is this: after a few years of civil strife, how safe is the country? Thanks to foreign aid, the Solomons is bouncing back and visitors will feel more than welkam. Yes, you can do pretty much whatever you want, and will be limited only by your imagination. SOLOMON ISLANDS The best part is, there’ll be no crowds to share in the experience.

  • Solomon Islands 2012/13 Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) Focusing on the Provincial Level Analysis
    SOLOMON ISLANDS 2012/13 HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND EXPENDITURE SURVEY PROVINCIAL ANALYTICAL REPORT (Volume II) Solomon Islands National Statistics Office Ministry of Finance and Treasury PO Box G6, Honiara, Solomon Islands Enquiries: Tel: (677) 27835/22154, Email: [email protected] October 2015 FOREWORD Following from similar remarks mentioned in the foreword of the Household Income and Expenditure (HIES) National Analysis Report (Volume I), it is again my pleasure as Minister responsible for Finance and Treasury (MOFT) including the National Statistics Office, and on behalf of the Government (Democratic Coalition of Change, DCC) of Solomon Islands, to present the 2012/13 Provincial Analysis Report (Volume II) to the people of Solomon Islands. The Provincial Analysis Report complements the National Analysis Report and should be read side by side, to appreciate the flow of the analysis from the national level, to the provincial levels. The Provincial Analysis Report extends from the national level analysis and provides information on the income and expenditure behaviour of households by province. As you are aware, in February 2015, the newly elected DCC Government launched its Policy Statement and Translation Matrix. This policy manifesto provides a vibrant and coherent framework of how the government plans to drive socio-economic development and structural reforms in the Solomon Islands. Within this framework, and in connection with the current efforts towards the development of the Solomon Islands National Statistics Development Strategy (NSDS), the government recognizes the need for the provision of timely, relevant and vital socio-economic statistics and indicators at the provincial level, to enable evidenced based decision making, policy development and planning in the provinces.
