The weekly wrap-up newsletter is a platform to link and update staff and project stakeholders on the happenings in all Project Implementation Units (PIUs) and Project Management Unit (PMU) on the progress of projects CAUSE implemented in various communities of Honiara, Guadalcanal (areas outside of town boundary), Auki, Gizo, Noro, and Munda. CAUSE is financed by Australian Government and the World Bank
Ambu MPH Implementation Project Progressing Well. Construction of the Ambu MPH in Auki, Malaita, is underway in partnership with the (Aoke-Langalanga Constituency) ALC. The project is slated for completion this year and is funded equally by both parties. To date, earthwork has been completed on the trenches and foundation for the column base. Concrete and landfill are expected to be poured next week. Work is progressing well.
The Provincial Seawall-Ramp Group is constructing a new seawall and ramp along the Gizo Provincial Office shoreline. The project is expected to be completed by July 12, 2023. The new seawall will provide a safe and secure mooring area for boats, while the ramp will make it easier for people to access the water. The project is welcomed by the public and boat owners, who are looking forward to the benefits it will bring. The seawall and ramp will be valuable to the community and help protect the shoreline from coastal inundation. The project is an excellent example of the community working together to improve their environment.
The Noro Spot Improvement & Drainage Team has begun a 100-meter x 4-meter climate-resilient spot improvement roadwork on Baru Road. The public is excited about the project and looks forward to its completion and use.
The Noro Solar Street Light Installation Group has made significant progress in installing solar lights along completed footpaths in Noro communities. To date, they have installed solar lights in five communities. Members of the community are grateful to CAUSE for this great initiative.

CAUSE ISDT Graduate
- News/Announcements:
We are deeply saddened to hear of our engaged ISDT graduate, Japy Pungu, passing on Saturday. Japy was a hard-working and dedicated employee who was always willing to go the extra mile. He graduated from batch 11 (ISDT), and this Component 2 TC road concreting was his third engagement with GIZO PIU. We will miss Japy’s sense of humor and willingness to help. He was a valued team member, and we are all heartbroken by his loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with Japy’s family and friends during this difficult time.
