RAMSI

A bit about who I work for
RAMSI - Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Island - is a partnership between the Solomon Island government and fifteen contributing nations of the Pacific. RAMSI's mandate is to help Solomon Islands lay the foundation for long term stability, security and prosperity. Initially this meant restoring saftey and security to local communities. Now the focus is on repairing, reforming and improving the machinery of government and economic governance so that services can be delivered and business can prosper. The results so far have been very successful.

RAMSI receives overwhelming support from the people who had a terrible time through the ethnic tensions. The relationship between RAMSI and the current government is at times strained however, mainly due to the ongoing tension between Australia and Solomons foreign relations. Because of the political sensitivities around at present I can't write too much about things but will let you know what's happening on my work front over the next few weeks
