Program Background

 

The Solomon Islands Infrastructure Program (SIIP) is a 10-year infrastructure program funded by the Australian Government. The program intends to improve the quality and accessibility of infrastructure across the provinces, delivering outcomes that contribute to broad-based, inclusive and sustainable economic growth. At the conclusion of SIIP, it is expected that two End of Program Outcomes (EOPOs) will have been achieved:

 

• EOPO 1: the Solomon Islands will have enhanced capacity to plan, manage, finance, construct and maintain critical economic infrastructure.
• EOPO 2: the program will have left a legacy of high profile, resilient and accessible infrastructure assets in a range of sectors across the country that support inclusive economic growth.
