Proposed Infrastructure Program for Australia-Solomon Islands partnership towards inclusive economic growth

We are currently planning the Solomon Islands Infrastructure Program (SIIP). SIIP will improve the availability and condition of climate resilient, inclusive and accessible infrastructure in order to improve access to services and contribute to broad-based, inclusive and sustainable economic growth for the people of Solomon Islands.

With an anticipated start date in the third quarter of 2020 and a budget of $250 million over ten years, SIIP will be a part of Australia’s Foreign Policy White Paper commitment to Step-up engagement with the Pacific.

DFAT anticipates undertaking a two-step procurement process for an implementing partner with the first step being advertised later in 2019 on AusTender.
