The Sagupari led Government of Change and Rural Transformation (GCRT) reaffirms its commitment to drive meaningful change in the province through its 2026/2027 budget theme: “Empowering Transformations, Resourcing Our Future.”
The theme will also be adopted for the Central Islands province Second Appointed Day on June 29 this year, reflecting the government’s ongoing policy direction and development priorities.
Speaking during the recent provincial full assembly meeting in Tulagi, premier Sagupari emphasized that the theme underscores the government’s commitment to drive positive change by making effective use of provincial resources.
“Our focus will be on empowering communities, leveraging resources, and building a sustainable future for Central province,” he said.
The premier added that the approach aims to improve service delivery, expand economic opportunities, and enhance the overall well-being of residents particularly youths, women, and children.
“Our goal is to build a prosperous and self-sufficient Central province. Through these strategies, GCRT is positioning itself as a driver of transformation, with a strong focus on resourcefulness and future-oriented planning,” he said.
The premier further noted that the government is taking necessary steps in this year’s budget to address gaps and challenges that have hindered the province’s progress, with these measures reflected throughout the draft budget.
Key priorities include investment in economic infrastructure, education and health services, entrepreneurship and economic empowerment initiatives, improved service delivery in rural areas, and the implementation of community-driven projects.
He also highlighted that programs are being aligned across all thirteen wards in the province to ensure that the “change” being promised is both tangible and impactful for the people.
