New Toolkit Empowers Communities

By Jaspreet Singh | Co-Founder & Advocacy Strategist, ICAAD

Mining in Solomon Islands is expanding rapidly, often without free, prior, and informed consent from communities who bear the environmental and social risks.

With support from the Earth Rising Foundation Trust, ICAAD and our partners, the Development Services Exchange (DSE), Apunepara Ha’amwa’ora Natural Resources Association (AHRNA), and a CBO from Lauru/ Choiseul Province, designed this Toolkit to empower communities facing mining in the Solomon Islands and protect what matters most to them.

What’s Inside

The Mining and Community Power in the Solomon Islands Toolkit includes a breakdown of the relevant legal frameworks, community organising strategies, advocacy pathways, and proven tactics from successful campaigns resisting the harms of mining in the Solomon Islands. Case studies from Wagina Island, Marasa, and Rennell Island show how organised communities can challenge harmful, and in some cases illegal, operations and demand accountability.

Who Should Use This Toolkit

Built for the Solomon Islands with frontline advocates, this Toolkit serves traditional landowners, village leaders, conservation groups, church leaders, women’s groups, and anyone concerned about extractive industry expansion without social licence. 

While this Toolkit was built for purpose, its application goes beyond mining in the Solomon Islands. Communities across the Pacific face urgent threats from the expanding extractives industry. This Toolkit can provide insightful case studies and strategies to inform regional and global efforts to protect human rights and the environment. 

Communities can build real power and use it to protect what matters most to them.
