Solomon Islands Launches Financing Initiative for Community-Led Climate Adaptation with Support from New Zealand, EU, and UNCDF

www.eeas.europa.eu

The Government of Solomon Islands, in collaboration with the Government of New Zealand, the European Union, and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), this Friday, 1 November officially launch the Local Climate Adaptive Living Facility (LoCAL) to empower communities to lead the way in building resilience to climate change.

The Government of Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, in collaboration with the Government of New Zealand, the European Union, and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), this Friday, 1 November officially launch the Local Climate Adaptive Living Facility (LoCAL) to empower communities to lead the way in building resilience to climate change.

This initiative amounts to over SBD 130 million (USD 15.6 million) with SBD 75 million (USD 9 million) contributed by New Zealand and SBD 55 million (USD 6.59 m) from the European Union.

The program builds upon Solomon Islands’ existing Provincial Capacity Development Fund (PCDF) associated with the Provincial Governance Strengthening Programme (PGSP) which have been implementing performance-based grants for the past 14 years. This has delivered over 1,600 projects at a cost of approximately SBD325 million, creating over 11,000 jobs nationwide.

LoCAL will supplement financing to the PCDF, from the Government of Solomon Islands and others, to support climate change adaptation and resilience of local communities.

Rules (2024-08-30)

This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They’re cool, you should subscribe there too!)
Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
