2 Introduction Study undertaken 2007 to measure impact of financial capability development initiative deployed in Fiji Sample: 400 villagers, 14 villages in Naitisiri Province, Fiji. Additional study undertaken 2008 to determine impact of similar financial capability development initiative in Solomon Islands. Sample 350 villagers, 15 villages, rural Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands Fiji design ex post facto with control group. Solomon Islands design prepost with control group. Research overseen by Massey University, New Zealand and UNDP. A unique opportunity to examine the role of money in communities with a high level of social, economic and environmental homogeneity. Great thanks are owed to the people of Naitisiri Province and the people of Guadalcanal for their willingness to share their time and their lives with us.
3 Capability, Competence, Wellbeing Capability + + Competence Well-being Capability the ability to do something (knowledge and skill, access) Competence - how well something is done Wellbeing the impact of the action(s) on the individual on their household

9 Villagers exhibit a similar Attitude to Money to other (urbanised) Socio-Cultural groups studied Power/Prestige: (Money as source of status) Much the same as other groups, although less confident with money. More competent villagers score higher. Retention/Time: (Importance of planning money use) The same as other groups. More competent villagers score higher. High scorers 3 more likely to have Rural Savings Account. Distrust/Anxiety: (Suspicion toward the price of goods and services) Higher scores are more likely to regard money as a source of anxiety, and also as a protection from anxiety. No significant gender differences Modest correlation with age (Higher Distrust and Retention)
10 Villagers who attended the Financial Literacy Training have greater Financial Knowledge (in respect to topics covered by the Training) 8 Able to Describe a Budget Flet non-flet Fiji Solomon Islands
