4 1 I. CONSISTENCY OF BUSINESS PLAN WITH COUNTRY PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY 1. The Solomon Islands country operations business plan is aligned with the strategic priorities of the country partnership strategy (CPS), , which was approved in March The CPS of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for Solomon Islands seeks to reduce poverty by promoting inclusive, environmentally sustainable economic growth through assistance in four core sectors: energy, information and communication technology, public sector management, and transport. In addition, private sector development is supported through the Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative. 2 The CPS addresses binding constraints to growth, and is consistent with the direction of ADB s Interim Pacific Approach, 2015, which extends the validity of ADB s Pacific Approach, ; the Midterm Review of Strategy 2020; 3 and the government s Policy Statement and Policy Strategy. 4 An updated CPS results framework is in Appendix 1 and a list of linked documents is in Appendix 2. II. INDICATIVE RESOURCE PARAMETERS 2. The government has adopted a measured approach to increasing its use of concessional loans. It has set a ceiling for public debt at 30% of gross domestic product. The Medium Term Fiscal Strategy, provides for an annual limit on new borrowing determined by undertaking a debt sustainability analysis each year as part of the budget process. 5 This has been set at SI$300 million for Solomon Islands is a Group A developing member country, and eligible for Asian Development Fund (ADF) grants and concessional ordinary capital resources lending (COL). 6 The indicative ADF grant and COL resource allocation for is $39.82 million. The final allocation will depend on the available resources, and the outcome of the country performance assessments. In addition, cofinancing and funding from other sources, including the subregional pool under concessional resources, will be actively explored. The 2014 debt distress classification of Solomon Islands was assessed as at moderate risk of debt distress. In accordance with the ADF grants framework, the country is to receive 50% of its country allocation in grants in 2015, subject to a 20% volume discount on the grant portion of the country allocation. 7 ADB will also provide technical assistance (TA), at an indicative average of $0.98 million per annum. 4. Energy. Access to clean and affordable power is needed to allow producers of commodities and other goods on the outer islands to diversify production and improve livelihoods. ADB support will complement the efforts of other partners in energy sector reform through sustainable power services. A project to build a small hydropower plant and increase access to modern energy services was approved in 2014, with effectiveness occurring on 1 ADB Country Partnership Strategy: Solomon Islands, Manila. 2 ADB Technical Assistance for the Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative, Phase III.

5 2 16 June A solar power development project is planned for 2016, and a further energy project in Information and communication technology. The Broadband for Development Project, which will be financed by both sovereign and nonsovereign investments, will deliver good-quality, high-speed internet services at affordable prices to Solomon Islanders in both urban and rural areas. The original project was approved in September 2012, with additional financing proposed for Public sector management. Fiscal stability and a competitive business environment are essential to fostering private sector-led growth and development. In coordination with development partners and operating through the core economic working group, ADB will continue supporting the government-led public sector management reforms with policy-based programs. 8 The main goal of ADB s assistance in public sector management is to improve the enabling environment for private sector-led inclusive growth and development. In line with the core economic working group medium-term economic and financial reform program, a policybased program has been included for ADB will continue to provide TA, including through the Private Sector Development Initiative, to support public sector management reforms, including commercial legal reform, state-owned enterprise reform, and improving access to finance. 7. Transport.

The proposed ADF program for is summarized in Table A3.1 and the TA pipeline for in Table A3.2 (Appendix 3). To complement the TA program and leverage TA resources, ADB will include Solomon Islands in regional TA activities where feasible. III. SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO LENDING AND NONLENDING PROGRAMS 9. The TA for customs reform implementation in the country operations business plan for has been moved from 2015 to 2017, given the anticipated timing of the introduction of the customs legislation.

The Economic and Financial Reform Program, and the Sustainable Transport Infrastructure Improvement Program have also moved to 2016 to allow further consultation with the government over program design. The assistance program for 2015 is in Appendix 4, while a list of knowledge products and publications is in Appendix 5. 8 In March 2009, the government established the core economic working group comprising officials from the Central Bank of Solomon Islands; the Office of the Prime Minister; the Ministry of Development Planning and Aid Coordination; the Ministry of Finance and Treasury; and development partner representatives from ADB, Australia, the European Union, New Zealand, and the World Bank. 9 ADB Report and Recommendation of the President to the Board of Directors: Proposed Grant and Administration of Technical Assistance Grant to Solomon Islands for the Transport Sector Development Project.
