dc.description.abstractSolomon Islands is navigating the challenges and opportunities associated with its transition from least developed country status to an anticipated graduation set for the end of 2027. This transition presents risks and potential for the country, particularly in the context of losing certain international trade privileges. To ensure a smooth and sustainable transition, the country must strategically enhance its productive capacities across key sectors − forestry, agriculture, fisheries, and tourism. In this study, untapped potential in other productive sectors, such as agriculture, fisheries and tourism are identified, and the need to address policy gaps, strengthen governance, and build capacity to achieve economic diversification and growth is stressed. The suggested interventions that are focused on the short- to medium-term offer a road map for a smooth transition from least development country status, promoting sustainable and inclusive growth to prepare the country for its post-least developed country future.
