Solomon Islands

A nation of 839,000 across hundreds of islands, with forest over nine tenths of the land, where only one household in seven cooks with clean fuel and the World Bank began a six-year partnership in April 2026.

Perfect Nations values what Solomon Islands owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Solomon Islands. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

Perfect Nations® · Letters to the NationsSolomon Islands

Dear Solomon Islands,

Your islands are covered in forest and surrounded by rich fishing grounds.

Only one household in seven cooks with clean fuel, and fewer than six in ten of your young people complete lower secondary school. Let the forest earn as it stands, and let what it earns reach every kitchen and classroom.

“Let the forest earn as it stands, and the kitchens and classrooms share in it.”

Yours in design,Preeti SinhaPresident and CEO, Perfect Nations
