Overview
The 2026 National Youth and Children’s Parliament convened in Honiara, Solomon Islands, from September 28 to October 1. Approximately 50 delegates aged 10 to 35 participated in the four-day event at the Paul Tovua Complex.
Opened by Speaker Patterson Oti, the assembly focused on the theme “Our Voices, Our Future: Decentralization of Inclusive and Accessible Social Services for All.” This iteration expanded its scope to include children and emphasized gender balance, regional diversity, and the inclusion of persons with disabilities.

The program, supported by UNICEF and the European Union, concluded with a mock parliamentary debate and the drafting of resolutions for presentation to national government leadership.
