Paragraph 1, page 41
The West ‘Are’Are Rokotanikeni Association is a women-led, volunteer-run savings club that gives women a place to come together, learn more about managing finances and store their savings safely. There are branches of these savings clubs all over the country, which means women living in remote areas are not excluded. More and more women have been volunteering at WARA each year, and in 2015 it had 1,065 members. In the 10 years of the savings club, members have taken out over 1,000 loans and saved more than a million Solomon Islands dollars.

Paragraph 1, page 70
The Solomon Islands Government successfully hosted the 2023 XVII Pacific Games, a testament to the power of partnerships and a shared vision. The Government’s proactive bid in 2016 and the 2017 Pacific Games Act provided the legal and organizational framework for the event. The theme of the Games, “Challenge, Celebrate, and Unite”, inspired stakeholders across sectors to work collaboratively, strengthening the position of Solomon Islands as a regional leader. The opening ceremony and inclusive sporting program showcased Pacific unity and diversity, while the event strengthened bonds of friendship throughout the region. The seamless execution of the Games was made possible through the full cooperation and active participation of all involved, including government agencies, volunteers, and the wider community.
