Living on the fringes: Voices from those living in the settlements of Honiara

In the past 40 years nothing has really changed for us. It [Honiara] is slowly developingthe government say they have a vision, but nothing happens. They strategise and they plan, but nothing happens, things dont change because the government doesnt see the real stress here [in the settlement] (Woman community leader, peri-urban area, Greater Honiara 2016).
