World Vision Solomon Islands is continuing its collaboration and partnership outreach programmes on environmental resilience projects in the rural communities of Malaita Province.
Along with their outreach projects, memorandums of understanding (MOUs) were signed with two communities in Malaita recently.
The signing of the memorandums of understanding was done under the ASKSI Regreening projects and will run for the next five years.
The selected communities who signed the MOUs are Kwa’a and Maeana communities in West Kwaio, as well as three communities in Central Malaita.
A team from World Vision will visit the communities next week to assess how effectively the projects are being implemented.
During the visit next week, they will focus on three activities.
1) Community mapping involving local organizations like youth groups and Mother’s Union groups.
2) Identify and strengthen inclusive community-based natural resource management organizations and institutional arrangements to enhance social cohesion in the implementation of the Landscape Restoration Plan/Re-greening Plan.
3) Saving the kits and providing the materials.
The project marks a milestone for the recipient communities as it is the first of its kind in the province.
Only five communities were lucky to be selected in Malaita Province by random picking.
