| Project Detail |
The objective of the Rapid Employment Project for Solomon Islands is: to assist targeted vulnerable urban populations in the Recipient’s territory to (i) increase their incomes through the provision of short term employment; (ii) improve their knowledge, experience and basic employment skills that are valued in the workplace and society; and (iii) improve their access to services and markets through repaired, more climate resilient roads and access infrastructure. The additional financing (AF) will enable existing components of the project to continue for a further 18 months, targeting communities affected by the floods. Under the AF, the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) will pilot a new activity for the improvement and maintenance of urban and peri-urban roads in and around Honiara, to reinstate critical access for small urban communities to the main roads and to basic socio–economic services. This new pilot activity under MID Subcomponent 1A will slightly shift the focus from labor generation through road repair and maintenance activities, to a focus on improving and strengthening the quality of urban and peri-urban roads damaged by severe weather events. |
