The Australian High Commission is opening a new round of the Solomon Islands – Australia Community Partnerships with applications for funding support now accepted.
This Partnerships support community-led projects to improve living standards through small-scale community projects like staff houses, toilet blocks, community water tanks, solar power for community infrastructure, and community halls.
Community Partnerships funding is available to community groups across Solomon Islands, and the High Commission Office encourages jointly funded projects with Members of Parliament (MP).
In 2024, Australia funded a record 100 community level projects across every province of Solomon Islands, representing more than SBD 23.62 million in direct funding to local hardware and transport businesses.
Australian High Commissioner to Solomon Islands, His Excellency Rod Hilton, said “Australia is committed to our partnership with Solomon Islands.
“We are proud to support communities across Solomon Islands to deliver small-scale community infrastructure projects.
“We’re also proud to support Solomon Islands’ businesses and jobs directly – buying hardware materials and shipping services for these projects”, said High Commissioner Hilton.
The Australian High Commission is accepting applications until Sunday 23 March 2025. For more information, please go to https://solomonislands.embassy.gov.au/honi/communitypartnerships.html
