Volunteering with VSA
Volunteer Service Abroad (VSA) is not your typical volunteering agency, we are committed to building sustainable communities across the Pacific. If you’re an experienced Organisational Development Adviser, looking for an extraordinary overseas experience in the Pacific to build into your field of expertise – working collaboratively with the Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association, then read on, as we have an exciting opportunity in store for you!
Our Partner Organisation - Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association.
The Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association (SIPPA) has a vision in which all Solomon Islanders are free to make choices about their sexuality, and can access sexual reproductive health services, information and exercise their rights without discrimination.
SIPPA is committed to improving the lives of all Solomon Islanders by providing quality information and services, and by advocating for sexual reproductive health and rights for all, especially the underserved. SIPPA adopts an integrated approach that encompasses service delivery, advocating to political and religious leaders and targeted educational campaigns to achieve results.
SIPPA is registered as a charitable organisation in Solomon Islands. SIPPA is a voluntary non-profit organisation and has no political or religious aims. SIPPA members believe that knowledge about planning parenthood, adolescence and youth, HIV/AIDS infection, abortion and access to family planning and relevant services is a fundamental human right. SIPPA plays an important role in the community for advocacy and promotion of these sexual reproductive health issues among young people. The organisation has a network of clinics in Honiara, Gizo, Auki, Taro and Lata.
The Assignment
This assignment is a partnership assignment between VSA and the Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association.
In this assignment a VSA volunteer will provide support to the Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association to increase their capacity in organisational
development.
The VSA volunteer will work alongside senior management and other staff to improve and document SIPPA’s internal systems and processes, increase efficiencies and the organisation’s ability to meet its goals.
A key aspect of this assignment is for the volunteer to support SIPPA to put in place sound human resources structure that will enable the organisation to have staff who are supported, skilled and dedicated to the work of SIPPA
The Volunteer
Are you someone who wants to make a difference, have a sense of adventure and like the challenge of being outside your comfort zone? VSA Volunteers are technical experts who impart their skills and knowledge to the local community. You will need to be flexible, adaptable, resourceful, resilient with a passion for Aotearoa and the wider Pacific community.
We're looking for a volunteer with the following:
• Proposal and project designer
• Experience in monitoring and evaluation
• Prior experience working in a governance role
The Country
The Solomon Islands has over 900 islands, 5,000 rural villages and 550,000 people. Between 1999 and 2003 it experienced a period of conflict which took a heavy toll on the country and left a need for reconciliation and on-going peace and security measures.
A request for assistance by the government in 2003 led Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific Island countries to form the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI) which restored peace and security.
