Asian Development Bank and Solomon Islands: Fact Sheet
Asian Development Bank | April 2015
Abstract
Solomon Islands is one of the largest countries in Melanesia, and is spread across six large islands, dozens of smaller islands, and hundreds of islets and atolls. The Asian Development Bank has been working with the government since 1973, and has approved 19 loans totaling $102.42 million, 11 concessional Asian Development Fund grants totaling
$81.41 million, and 73 technical assistance projects totaling $25.82 million. A key development challenge for the government is controlling recurrent expenditure amid modest growth in revenues.
