Solomon Islands - Australia Partnership for Governance is seeking a professional, registered, and licensed local survey company to carry out surveying tasks necessary to facilitate the proposed development to sub-divide part of the land at Gilbert Camp.

Overview

MLHS intends to complete the cadastral survey of part of Gilbert Camp in Parcel No 191-052-596. Cadastral surveys involve the precise measurement and mapping of land parcels, so that property boundaries are defined and documented. This will establish legal property lines, assist in land development, and ensure that ownership rights are clearly defined. 

The survey will give the MLHS and the Land Board the basis for determining allocation of formal land titles to residents of this part of Gilbert Camp. Residents will also have a clearly demarcated subdivision, including clearly demarcated corridors for access, drainage, and utilities.

The MLHS is responsible for administering the surveying, registration, and transfer of land titles across Solomon Islands, and oversight for the country’s mapping and urban planning functions to meet the growing demands from citizens, private sector, and government ministries. 

The Ministry ensures land transactions are conducted in a manner that is fair, transparent, and in full compliance with relevant laws and regulations. It uses a set of Acts of Parliament to deliver its responsibilities and services including:

• Registering land transactions in accordance with established procedures.
• Ensuring that land rents are determined based on fair and transparent principles, with timely collection.
• Meeting all statutory requirements related to surveying and valuations.
• Maintaining land records in a secure and accessible manner.

Background 

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 Summmary and Justifcation for the Role 

The Partnership Director – Deputy Team Leader is responsible for the design, implementation and management of the program partnerships portfolio and representation of the program in stakeholder engagement.  

The Partnership Director is responsible for the technical design and implementation of sector strategies for Strongim Bisnis, including supporting the identification and development of partnerships with businesses, relevant associations, and the Solomon Islands Government (SIG) to deliver inclusive and resilient growth.  

The position is based in Honiara, where the Strongim Bisnis Office is located. The program’s business activities are implemented nationally, focusing on stimulating pro-poor growth and maximising impact to scale-up long-term production, value addition, income, employment, and opportunity across the provinces. The Partnership Director supports engagement with all stakeholders in target sector and cross cutting areas, from smallholder producers within local communities to government ministries, service providers, aggregators, manufacturers, exporters, and investors. 

This role drives innovation and flexibility and contributes new thinking within existing and new markets to develop and facilitate strategic partnerships that drive systemic change in selected sectors, leading to greater productivity and inclusivity, and increased incomes for poor households in the Solomon Islands. 

The Partnership Director works closely with the Team Leader to lead the development of intervention strategies for target sectors and manage Business Case development. The role requires working closely with the Communications and Engagement Director – Deputy Team Leader and MRM Manager to ensure interventions are effectively monitored, implemented, and managed, using tailored and adaptive approaches, and consistently learning from new information and the changing context over the life of the program.  

The Partnership Director manages Senior Partnership Managers, with each adviser working within one of the technical Hubs. The Partnership Director works closely with the Senior Partnership Managers to prepare Business Cases, budgets, and Partnership Agreements, implement partnership activities and procurement, and manage the program portfolio.
