Background to Strongim Bisnis

Solomon Islands-Australia Partnership’s Strongim Bisnis is an economic development initiative to increase economic opportunities and participation for people and businesses in Solomon Islands.

Recognising that Solomon Islands has a small consumer market and economy, dispersed population, and high cost of doing business, we identify and analyse specific sectors that have a high potential for growth and can consequently create new employment and income generation opportunities.

We facilitate strategic partners (including businesses, government, civil society, and associations) in those sectors to address the root constraints to growth and inclusion (Women, Youth and People living with disabilities) through innovative solutions.

Position summary and  justification for the role

Strongim Bisnis is seeking Partnership Managers of all levels of experience to expand its team. We are looking for people with experience or enthusiasm for entrepreneurship and social inclusion in Solomon Islands. Working closely with the team, the selected individuals’ focus will be to support the program implement, monitor, and communicate uptake of partnerships.
