Australia is providing long term and effective assistance to Solomon Islands through the Partnership for Development to reduce poverty and improve progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. From 1 July 2013 the Partnership for Development will be restructured to include development programs transitioned from RAMSI.

Currently, mutually agreed partnership priorities are:

• Improving health and education services
• Improving economic livelihoods to raise living standards of rural households through more productive and sustainable use of agricultural land
• Improving economic infrastructure by encouraging greater access to markets and services through increased access to reliable transport
• Addressing economic and fiscal challenges with better economic management and structural reforms to make Solomon Islands an attractive and reliable place for business to invest.
