Solomon Islands National Development Strategy 2016-2035

As one of the first nations to adopt an integrated national financing framework (INFF), the Solomon Islands’ experience is a valuable asset for the establishment of INFFs in other countries, in particular those that face similar challenges due to size and geographic location.

This National Development Strategy (NDS) maps out a strategic direction for the future development of Solomon Islands. It presents a visionary strategy for the next twenty years, setting out a long term vision, mission and objectives that reflect the aspirations of all Solomon Islanders. The NDS covers a twenty-year period to provide a longer term framework for planning.

The NDS is a vision and plan for all the people of Solomon Islands. It sets out a framework for development policies, priorities and programmes, providing a single reference point and common direction over the next twenty years. Government institutions and development partners can use it as a base for their support programmes. Other stakeholders including non-government organisations, churches and faith based organisations, community leaders and individuals can adopt this common direction and find their own role within the NDS.
