THE Central Islands Province (CIP) government is moving forward with plans to establish a new youth center on Tulagi, with the aims of completing the project by next year.

This was announced by CIP Premier Michael Salini during a recent meeting with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of People Living with Disabilities Solomon Islands (PWDSI).

Premier Salini expressed optimism about the project, stating, “We are hopeful this will be achieved by next year as we have been busy with the project recently”

He clarified that while funding for the youth center has already been secured, his office is still in the process of finalizing the land acquisition.

Once completed, the youth center will provide a dedicated space for various youth activities aimed at promoting the well-being and development of young people in the province.

Salini also emphasized that the facility will be open to local associations, including PWDSI, who will be welcome to use it for their awareness programs and other community-focused initiatives.

In addition, the premier reiterated his government’s commitment to collaborating with PWDSI and its affiliated organizations to advance efforts in youth development, women’s empowerment, and the support of people living with disabilities.
