Solomon Islands WBG Country Opinion Survey Summary (FY 2024)

Methodology and Objectives

The survey was conducted from December 2023 to May 2024, involving 134 participants across various stakeholder groups including government, civil society, private sector, and international agencies. It aimed to assess perceptions of the World Bank Group (WBG) on familiarity, trust, effectiveness, development priorities, collaboration, and communication. Responses were analyzed to identify trends and areas for improvement.

Key Findings

Familiarity and Trust

Familiarity with WBG work increased marginally from FY21 to FY24, with high levels among collaborating stakeholders. Trust in WBG rose, ranking among the most trusted institutions, alongside the Central Bank of Solomon Islands and UN. However, national government and media trust remained low. High familiarity correlated with more positive perceptions of WBG's effectiveness and relevance.

Attitudes and Effectiveness

Respondents rated WBG highly on its role in development, effectiveness in achieving results, and alignment with priorities. Ratings varied by group, with government and bilateral agencies showing strong support, while private sector criticism highlighted needs for better collaboration and context-specific approaches.

Development Priorities

Stakeholders prioritized transport infrastructure, agriculture, and water/sanitation. Climate change and health/pandemic preparedness gained prominence, reflecting evolving development needs. Suggestions included fostering partnerships with local and private sectors.

Collaboration

WBG was seen as effective in partnering with national and bilateral agencies but needed deeper engagement with local governments and the private sector. Participants emphasized meaningful dialogue and stakeholder involvement in consultations.

Financial Instruments and Knowledge Work

Financial support was highly valued for its role in development, but private sector respondents criticized conditions and timeliness. Knowledge work was recognized for bringing global expertise, with 38% having used it. Improvements suggested include better dissemination and tailoring to Solomon Islands' context.

Communication and Outreach

Direct contact and events were the most preferred channels. WBG's climate change work was frequently recalled, and communications could be strengthened by addressing local concerns like frequent cyclones and floods. Visibility and outreach efforts were seen as areas for enhancement.

Recommendations

• Enhance collaboration with local governments and private sector to improve effectiveness.
• Simplify financial instrument conditions and ensure timelier support.
• Increase visibility through direct engagement and refine communication to address climate-related concerns.
• Adapt knowledge work to local needs and strengthen operational flexibility.

This summary reflects the survey's insights, highlighting key areas where WBG can improve its role in Solomon Islands' development.
