Solomon Islands National University (SINU) has begun rolling out its 2026–2030 Strategic Plan following a two-day implementation workshop for Heads of School and Corporate Support Services held at the Faculty of Education and Humanities, Panatina Campus, on June 16-17.
The workshop marks the first major step in putting into action the university’s strategic blueprint, which was officially launched on May 22 this year, a statement by SINU yesterday said.
Opening the workshop, Pro Vice-Chancellor Corporate Dr William Parairato told senior staff that they have a central role to drive the plan forward across all faculties, departments, and support units.
“You have a critical role to play in implementing the Strategic Plan, cascaded plans, departmental plans, and work plans,” Mr Parairato said.
He noted that participants and their respective offices will serve as focal points to monitor, evaluate, and report on progress, achievements, and challenges in collaboration with the university’s Institutional Planning Division.
Parairato also acknowledged the continued financial support of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), which was represented at the workshop, and recognised IPD Advisor Dr Jeannette Baird for her contributions to the development of the strategic plan and its cascaded documents.
“Dr Baird has provided valuable guidance throughout the planning process and will continue to support us in strengthening monitoring, evaluation, learning, and performance measurement,” he said.
During the two days, participants worked through strategic priorities, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, key performance indicators, and approaches to aligning departmental work plans with institutional objectives.
Parairato urges participants to apply the knowledge and tools gained to ensure the university delivers on its long-term vision.
