OBJECTIVE 1.1 Development Objective Original Development Objective (Approved as part of Approval package on 31-May-2022) The Development Objective of the Series of Projects is to strengthen the shared management of selected Pacific Island oceanic and coastal fisheries, and the critical habitats upon which they depend. For the Solomon Islands second phase’s project (“SB PROPER”), the proposed Project Development Objective (PDO) is to strengthen regional collaboration and national capacity for the management and the sustainable development of the oceanic and coastal fisheries sector in the Solomon Islands. Has the Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No 2.

KEY ISSUES & STATUS 4.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions Implementation progress has been varied across project components. Development of community fisheries management plans, alternative livelihoods activities and electronic reporting for ports (ePort) activities are advancing well and exceeding the targets for the associated indicators. The finalization of the review of the MFMR organizational structure and function continues to be delayed and is integral to the Project to complete and for aligning government priorities. Infrastructure works and activities have begun to advance slowly, but with an eye towards Project closure, discussion on prioritization of infrastructure items is ongoing. Particular focus in the next 6- 12 months will be on advancing infrastructure and increased oversight of procurement activities and financial management. 5.
