B – 2015-16 Aid objective 2015-16 benchmark Rating Progress in 2015-16 Stability Number of police and other law and justice officials trained 1700* Partly achieved 1408 police and law and justice officials were trained in 2015-16, including 836 through the bilateral law and justice program and 572 through RAMSI. The shortfall can be attributed to the RSIPF increasing in-house training to their officers, and less reliance on RAMSI funded and delivered training. While less RAMSI police training has been provided over the last year, it was increasingly targeted. This adjustment will have greater impact and improve sustainability in the future, and complements improvements in RSIPF’s training capability, including the provision of RAMSI train-the-trainer programs. Courts and justice agencies are better able to deliver their core functions 550 cases heard and disposed of in the Magistrates Court* Partly achieved The Central Magistrates Court heard and disposed 529 cases in 2015-16. Figures for the provincial Magistrates Courts were unavailable at the time of finalisation of the APPR, and may mean this benchmark was met overall. Timely access to data is a challenge that the roll out of the Justice Information Management System will help address. Economic Growth Women able to gain business or skills 2,200 women are trained in business or skills* Partly achieved 713 women trained in business or income-generating skills, including bilaterally funded business training provided through the Skills for Economic Growth Program (343), and SIWIBA (370). Improved transport infrastructure to support increased economic activity of roads rehabilitated or maintained in 2015-16* Achieved Through Australian support for the National Transport Fund, the Solomon Islands Government maintained 887km of roads by the end of June 2016 (up from 255km in 2011 and 643km in 2014-15). This represents 89 per cent of the country’s maintainable roads (up from 39 per cent in 2011 and 70 per cent in 2014-15). Improved environment for private sector investment, economic growth and trade 50 per cent of Core Economic Working Group Economic and Financial Reform Program actions achieved for 2015-16* Not achieved The Core Economic Working Group did not endorse a reform program for 2015-16. As a result, Australia did not make a tranche payment of $3 million performance linked aid related to this benchmark. Aid objective 2015-16 benchmark Rating Progress in 2015-16 Human Development
