Trade institutional capacity building: The EIF has worked to address trade constraints through specific partnerships in line with the implementation of the country's National Trade Policy Framework. Key results included:

• The first National Trade Policy Framework was developed and launched in March 2015.
• Trade was incorporated into the National Development Strategy.
• Trade was incorporated into the sector strategies for agriculture, tourism and fishing, and commerce.
• A National Trade Facilitation Committee was created and endorsed by the National Trade Development Council to coordinate on trade facilitation issues and implement the provisions of the WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation.

Tourism sector development: The EIF worked to promote the Solomon Islands as a distinct visitors’ destination in the Pacific, through the improvement of collaboration between ministries, the private sector, tourism operators and NGOs. Key results included:

• The launch of the Solomon Islands National Tourism Development Strategy (SINTDS 2015-19) in 2015. The revised policy set the overall platform and direction for sustainably developing the tourism industry so that it becomes a significant driver of economic growth.
• The project provided 3-5 grants annually to innovative ecotourism projects.
• The Solomon Islands Visitors Bureau now markets small-medium operators through its online portal, which is significant because most SME tourism operators had not previously been marketed online.
• The School of Tourism and Hospitality at the Solomon Islands National University is offering a variety of certificates and other educational opportunities, including internships in hotels, field trips, practicums, and guest lecture sessions.

Agribusiness development: The Enhancing Capacities for Agriculture Trade project aimed to expand economic and employment opportunities in the Solomon Islands, through building the capacity of selected agricultural value chains and associated trade and export promotion activities. The project boosted exports of two key agricultural commodities, taro and cassava, by establishing a supportive policy environment that increased investment and strengthened the capacity of local testing facilities to ensure compliance with food safety measures.

• A National Public Health Laboratory (NPHL) Office was established to provide trainings and capacity building in order to improve the food safety and quality assurance capacity of the NPHL, the Planning Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Labour and Immigration to address technical barriers to trade and sanitary and phytosanitary measures.
• An Investment Strategy for the cassava and taro sub sectors to increase production and exports was developed.
• 55 new jobs are reported to have been created with linkages to the EIF intervention. Of these 55 jobs, 30 have been occupied by women, 20 by men, and 20 by youth. 
• 80 metric tonnes of cassava and 40 metric tonnes of taro were planted through the EIF intervention.
