In 2006, The Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI) introduced the People’s Survey as an annual information gathering mechanism to gauge the effectiveness and public acceptance of RAMSI interventions. The People’s Survey became a high profile source of information in relation to RAMSI and also the identification of issues of a more general nature. From 2010, the People’s Survey topics and questions will retain similarities with previous versions, especially for providing longitudinal information covering specific areas and priorities. Over time, some changes will progressively be made in the Survey’s content and methods, in order to meet the emerging information needs of both Solomon Island’s Government (SIG) and RAMSI. From 2010, the annual Survey will be known as the ‘SIG RAMSI People’s Survey'.

The SIG-RAMSI People’s Survey aims to meet information needs of both SIG and RAMSI partners, as reflected in the three objectives below. The aim is to support SIG and RAMSI reporting and decision-making aligned with the Partnership Framework through the annual capture of diverse community and public servant perceptions from men and women, including and attitudes on key development, capacity and social issues.

Objective 1: To engage annually with SIG, RAMSI and other key stakeholders to identify ongoing (core) and contemporary People’s Survey topics about which timely, valid information is needed to support the SIG RAMSI Partnership Framework and needs of key SIG Ministries.

Objective 2: To implement the People’s Survey using ethical standards, capturing high quality data from representative samples of men and women citizens, public servants and others across Solomon Islands to provide insightful, integrated analysis against identified topics.

Objective 3: To prepare and disseminate integrated, targeted reports of People’s Survey results and outputs to key SIG and RAMSI Partners, using methods and media customised to support evidence-based decision making and individual agency planning needs, as well as for providing broad feedback to Solomon Island citizens.
