This study utilizes the nominal group technique (NGT) to solicit consensus among 16 participants, who all had a role in Solomon Islands sports, on what they feel are important strategies in using sports to promote social cohesion in the country. The study gained consensus among participants on the need for a national sport policy, a critical need for sporting facilities, a vibrant school sports system, bolstering community sports and coordinated collaboration among relevant stakeholders to promote sports and peaceful co-existence in the country. This study has integral implications for Solomon Islands post-conflict and post-RAMSI (Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands) led by Australia, in ensuring there is continuing peace and stability.
