Cowater International is looking for an MIS Developer to support the SPRING program in the Philippines

Position: Seaweed Value Addition Consultant
Program: Strongim Bisnis
Location: Honiara, with possibility for provincial travel
Start date: 1 June 2026, expected 15 days as required
Works with: Team Leader, Partnership Managers, Stakeholders, Project Staff

The Strongim Bisnis project supports private sector development in Solomon Islands by strengthening key value chains and improving market access for local producers. As part of this effort, Strongim Bisnis is supporting the development of the seaweed sector, with a focus on improving farmer access to inputs and supporting aggregators to access more profitable markets.

Currently, seaweed in Solomon Islands is primarily dried and exported with minimal value addition. This limits income potential for farmers and constrains the sector’s overall economic contribution. There is an opportunity to explore higher-value markets and products, including but not limited to cosmetics, nutraceuticals, food products, and pet food.

Objective of the Assignment

The objective of this consultancy assignment is to assess the commercial viability of value-added seaweed products in Solomon Islands and identify feasible market opportunities, technologies, and business models to support sector upgrading.

Overview and Background:

The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) is undertaking a comprehensive justice sector reform program which outlines an ambitious multi-pillar agenda to modernise, strengthen, and transform justice service delivery nationwide. The reform effort spans digital modernisation, legislative renewal, justice system efficiency, anti-corruption, access to justice, and community engagement. To drive this agenda forward, the Ministry will establish a dedicated technical team that provides strategic coordination, specialist expertise, and operational leadership to ensure reforms are implemented cohesively, efficiently, and with measurable impact.

The team will not replace any existing government actors but will work to enhance implementation capacity through targeted leadership in digital system integration, legal and policy reform, and GEDSI-driven access to justice initiatives. 

Implementation will be through coordinating complex, interdependent workstreams such as e-filing, legislative modernization, trauma-informed training, mobile legal clinics, digital evidence systems, whistleblower frameworks, community paralegal systems, and national dashboards. 

This program structure establishes clear strategic and operational accountability.  Together, this integrated model will drive the successful delivery of the Tier Implementation Matrix by improving coordination across justice institutions, embedding GEDSI principles, strengthening public trust, and ensuring that transformative reforms are delivered in a timely, transparent, and sustainable manner.
