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.

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.

The Australian Humanitarian Partnership Support Unit (AHPSU) is seeking an individual or team to develop a Diverse SOGIESC Inclusion Toolkit and pilot it’s use in Disaster READY.
This Toolkit is intended as a practical document for AHP implementing partners to utilise, inform and improve inclusive SOGIESC practices for their community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) and resilience activities in their Disaster READY projects.
By contributing to efforts to mainstream diverse SOGIESC inclusion in humanitarian and development assistance, the Toolkit will help to ensure that no one is left behind and mitigate the exacerbated risk of discrimination and harm which people with diverse SOGIESC face during times of disaster.
As the Toolkit is rolled out, it is anticipated that its use will correlate with an increase in the number of DRR/CCA action plans developed through Disaster READY which address the specific needs of people with diverse SOGIESC as well as an increase in participation in DRR/CCA activities by people of diverse SOGIESC.
