The Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) is the Australian Government’s specialist infrastructure financing program within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The AIFFP is an AUD4.55 billion facility investing in transformational infrastructure across a range of sectors in the Pacific and Timor‑Leste, including maritime, airports, energy, telecommunications, road transport and urban infrastructure. Export Finance Australia acts as the lender of record. The AIFFP provides financing to deliver quality infrastructure with a focus on strong social and environmental safeguards, generating local jobs and responding to the priorities of diverse communities. The AIFFP builds on Australia’s longstanding partnerships with the Pacific and its experience delivering quality aid programming that supports sustained development outcomes for communities.

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.
