Youth, women, chiefs, elders, teachers and other employees in the above mentioned communities participated in discussions through questionnaires, and provided in-depth knowledge of community or village governance and priorities.

All Heads of Divisions in Choiseul Provincial Government contributed to the formulation and provided valuable information.
