Malaita Outer Islands (MOI) Constituency has expressed sincere appreciation to the Australian Government for its continued support through the Solomon Islands–Australia Community Partnerships Program, which recently awarded funding to two key development projects in the constituency.

The two projects are: Pelau Staff House Project and Liuaniua Student Classroom Project.

In a statement the MOI Constituency Office said the projects will have a lasting impact on education in the remote islands, helping to strengthen human resource development and support the long-term growth of local communities.

“These projects will make a significant impact on education in MOI, contributing directly to human resource development and long-term growth of our communities,” the statement said.

“As highlighted by our Honourable MP, these investments will help shape a brighter future for our youth and support stronger, more resilient islands.”

The Constituency also extended its gratitude to the Australian High Commission and all stakeholders involved for their continued commitment to uplifting the people of MOI and making these initiatives a reality.

The Pelau and Liuaniua projects are among 50 new projects recently announced under the Solomon Islands–Australia Community Partnerships Program, representing more than SBD 11 million in direct funding support to Solomon Islands businesses and communities.

The Australian High Commission emphasized that local businesses are being engaged to supply materials and services for these projects, a move that helps generate local employment and ensures that more benefits stay within Solomon Islands families.

The 50 projects span communities across the country and include a variety of initiatives such as; installation of solar-powered streetlights, construction of new classrooms, upgrades to rural health clinics and provision of community water tanks.
