✨️ Strengthening Youth Governance: Central Islands Provincial Youth Council Convenes PAGM & Elections! ✨

Following the National AGM held in May, the Solomon Islands National Youth Congress (SINYC) and the Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs (MWYCFA) Youth Division, proudly supported the Central Islands Provincial Youth Council (CIPYC) in successfully convening their Provincial Annual General Meeting 2026 (PAGM) and Elections earlier this month.

This marks the first provincial AGM conducted since May’s National AGM, setting an important standard for reviving youth governance structures across our provinces.

The three-day program brought together Ward youth representatives from across Central Islands Province. With backing from SINYC and MWYCFA and close cooperation from the Central Islands Provincial Government (CIPG), the assembly:

✨️ Elected a new CIPYC Executive

✨️ Aligned priorities with the National Youth Policy (NYP 2017–2030), and;

✨️Adopted progressing their actionable provincial work plan.

This milestone was made possible through the generous support and funding of the Solomon Islands Government (MWYCFA) and the Civil Society Support Program under ASIPS, funded by the Australian Government (DFAT).

A well-governed Provincial Youth Council serves as the critical bridge between national policy and community impact.

SINYC congratulates the newly elected CIPYC Executive and extend sincere gratitude to all Ward delegates, partners, and stakeholders for championing the youth of Central Islands Province.

Huge thanks to the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Solomon Islands for their awesome support!

Thanks to a generous sponsorship, we’ve been able to equip our Youth Council Executive reps with smartphones during our 2026 AGM. This is a massive boost for our teams out in the provinces. Instead of dealing with old-school paper reporting, our provincial networks can now use digital tools like Kobo Toolbox to send real-time data, update us on local projects, and stay closely connected with the Secretariat.

This initiative hits a major milestone for us by directly achieving "Goal 3 of our Strategic Plan: Embrace and adapt the latest and current technologies to enhance the efficiency of the delivery of SINYC services that meets its goals and objectives."

These phones will also be perfect for keeping everyone in the loop online. Earlier this year, before our AGM, we held an online general meeting with all our Presidents/Vice, and having these devices makes staying connected and jump-on video calls so much easier for everyone!

Thank you for helping us work towards taking our youth network digital! 📱✨

📌 Day 2 Recap: Building Synergies and Learning from National Partners

​Today was all about connection, strategic alignment, and learning from fellow pillars of civil society in the Solomon Islands.

We were privileged to host key sister organizations that share our passion for youth development, inclusivity, and community-led structures. By looking at their journeys—their triumphs, structural designs, and the obstacles they’ve overcome—our Youth Council leaders gained invaluable insights on how to strengthen our own networks and broaden our reach.

Together, we are building a more inclusive and resilient framework for the youth of our nation. 🇸🇧✨
