Context
UNICEF works to help the children of Solomon Islands reach their full potential. We assist our partners to monitor and measure progress against these rights via the child-focused Sustainable Development Goals, with an emphasis on the most vulnerable children. Our programme interventions are rights-based, cut across different sectors, respond to the specific needs of girls and boys and address the vulnerabilities and strengths of children in their first and second decades of life. UNICEF has a strong on-the-ground presence in Solomon Islands, with a few ongoing projects in nearly all provinces. These are primarily in areas with the greatest disparities and service gaps. They complement our high-level policy and programme advice with practical support for planning, financing and service delivery, especially to advocate for quality, equity and sustainability. UNICEF's presence in the country means we have the potential to impact more than 400,000 children. We take this responsibility seriously and are committed to ensuring that children and adolescents, the building blocks of Solomon Islands’s future have an equal chance in life.
