UNDP - United Nations Development Programme
During the last two years, MPGIS has drafted reforms of the outdated Provincial Government Act 1997 (PGA) to establish a unified provincial administration, whereby provincial divisions of national sectoral ministries will operate under the PG umbrella. Key sectoral ministries, notably the Ministry of Education (MEHRD) and the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS), have also acknowledged the need to operate in closer cooperation with PGs. Under the Solomon Islands Provincial Governance and Service Delivery Project (PGSDP), the PCDF mechanism will be expanded through the addition of service delivery support (health, education and/or water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH)), which will be financed by the European Union. UNDP will administer the service delivery support in collaboration with MPGIS, using existing PCDF channels. UNDP and MPGIS will also provide provincial level capacity development support to strengthen the capacity of PGs and provincial divisions of MEHRD and MHMS to implement better coordinated, more efficient and better targeted services to populations across the country. This Project is focused on laying the foundations for the MPGIS, PGs and provincial health and education divisions to operate as unified provincial service delivery units, in line with planned PGA 1997 reforms.
