The Malaita provincial government has assured cooperation with the World Bank on a series of development proposals for Malaita province.

World Bank is the key donor of Solomon Islands Road Aviation Project (SIRAP) in the country, where series of infrastructure projects have been implemented in Malaita province.

The institution will soon fund other key infrastructure development projects in the province.

Premier of Malaita province, Elijah Asilaua announced this recently assuring the commitment of his government with World Bank.  

“Our commitment remains with the World Bank for the proper fisheries project. The idea is to construct the monitoring, control and surveillance center building in Auki.

“Subdivision of the land is in progress. This will contribute significantly to strengthening Solomon Islands regional collaborations, national and international access for both oceanic and coastal fisheries,” he said.

The project will also house the office for the Bina Harbor Tuna Processing Plant project in Auki, Malaita province.

Asilaua also spoke highly of its collaboration with World Bank through Solomon Islands Agriculture and Rural Transformation Project (SIART) toward building of a new agriculture office in Auki.

Moreover, he commended World Bank for CAUSE, SOLKAS, UNICEF projects and other development partners for contributing through climate change issues and other means of development in Malaita Province.

Asilaua highlighted the commitment of his government and the people of Malaita province to work closely with World Bank and other development partners toward the development of the province.
