About the Partner Organisation 

Solomon Islands National University, SINU is based in Honiara. Prior to its establishment in 2013, the government of Solomon Islands had various training institutions that met the country's training needs. At this time the ICT infrastructure needs a full review and consultation on how to improve its network. An experienced Australian volunteer will support this by bringing their knowledge of current trends to help achieve this.
