- Taiwan donating & China is not - strategic move? 
- Japan donating because Solomon Islands produce a lot of sea food - agri/aqua-cultural trade strategy 
- underdeveloped capabilities for harvesting seafood - Japan can then let other countries harvest 
- 14.14mil (6%) to agriculture ]]> 2021-03-03 23:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Grace_Bleby/ucausiaasoo4rp6w/wish/1266438164 https://padlet.com/Grace_Bleby/ucausiaasoo4rp6w/wish/1266439319 Kiribati

- $230 million spent in Solomon Islands 
- $1.19 billion spent in PNG 
- Not a huge amount of more projects 1074 for PNG 629 for Solomons  - PNG projects of greater value 
- Australia top donor in PNG and Solomon Islands - Top donor by a lot on PNG 
- In PNG unlike the Solomon Islands there is some large institutions such as Asian Dev. Bank and World Bank as significant donors. Why are they present in PNG and not the Solomons? 
- China is a player in China as well 
- Population is much bigger in PNG - so the aid is proportional 
- Relatively similar amounts donated to the sectors
