About the SINU Security Program

The Solomon Islands National University Security Studies program is a program that will support DFAT and Solomon Islands National University (SINU) to develop and deliver a Security Program Pilot through SINU, which will include National Security Short Courses, Seminars and Workshops, and Study Tours in Australia.

Australia – Solomon Islands Program Support (ASIPS) Facility

The Australian Government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), has contracted DT Global to establish and manage its multi-sectoral facility, Solomon Islands Program Support (ASIPS). ASIPS is the next phase of Australia’s partnership with Solomon Islands, and will provide logistical, operational and administrative support to Australia’s policy priorities and development program delivery in Solomon Islands.

ASIPS works across the Australian bilateral aid program, as well as provides support to the Australian High Commission administrations in Honiara. The in-country ASIPS Facility Support Unit (FSU) operates in a complex and evolving context, providing operational services to enable DFAT to meet its goals and objectives in Solomon Islands. The range of support includes, but is not limited to:

• Procurement and contract management of technical assistance in Solomon Islands and remotely, and support to performance management across all sector programs.
• Provision of support services (including logistics and security management) for Australian Government’s deployees and technical advisers; and
• Strategic advice, management and reporting, including program management (education), infrastructure technical management, monitoring and evaluation, strategic communications financial management and grant management.
• The integration of the cross-cutting issues of gender equality, disability and social inclusion, climate change, indigenous participation and localisation throughout program delivery.
