The Guadalcanal Provincial (GP) Executive has approved a $400,000 disaster relief package to support communities across the Solomon Islands affected by Tropical Cyclone Maila earlier this month.
The decision was reached during the provincial executive meeting held on April 28, a statement from the GP Media unit said yesterday.
The funding will be distributed among three regions, with $200,000 allocated to the Western Provincial Government and the Choiseul Provincial Government, with $100,000 each.
The statement further adds that $200,000 directed is directed to communities in West and South Guadalcanal.
A formal handover of funds will take place once government notes are exchanged with the respective provinces, the statement said.
Guadalcanal Provincial leaders emphasised that the initiative is not only financial assistance but also a demonstration of solidarity and resilience with the affected sister provinces in times of crisis.
The statement said that the Guadalcanal Provincial Government’s commitment is to stand alongside neighbouring provinces and its own communities in times of hardship.
