Remote communities in the Shortland Islands and Malaita Outer Islands, who are highly dependent on fisheries and marine resources, have had their normal trading routes impacted by border closures as a result of COVID-19.
The Solomon Islands’ Livelihoods Support Committee requested the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources to assess options to support these affected communities through targeted income generating and food security projects.
