Ten participants were awarded mobile phones through a raffle draw for the Opinion Survey 2025 during the Energy Opinion Survey Closing at Pacific Crown Hotel yesterday.
The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MMRE) and UNDP led the Energy Opinion Survey 2025 with the aim to help the government and Development Partners plan better energy reforms for communities.
According to figures provided, around 12,000 plus Solomon Islanders participated in the Energy Opinion Survey this year.
The goal however was to reach 100,000 respondents.
Speaking to Island Sun during the closing John Goodwill Manakako, one of the awardees from West Guadalcanal said he saw the survey through SMS survey and took the online survey.
“After participating I look forward to reaching out to more respondents because UNDP has given us the opportunity to be Ambassadors. If we have more respondents to the questions in the online survey form, it will help our communities develop because we are now living in a modernised world and electricity is crucial,” he said.
Participants who completed the Energy Opinion Survey 2025 and voluntarily submitted their mobile numbers were automatically entered into the raffle draw. Each eligible entry received a unique raffle ID generated by the system.
The draw was held on Tuesday in the presence of Supervising Assistant Commissioner Provincial Policing, Tex Tafoa to ensure transparency and credibility. Selected winners were verified against the original data survey before being contacted.
