Solomon Airlines’ Female Staff Recognised Among Australia’s Aviation Leaders with Double Award Win

Solomon Airlines is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Mrs Mavis Tom, Reservations Systems Manager, who has won two major honours at the 2026 Australian Aviation Awards — Female Aviation Leader of the Year – SME and Rising Star – SME. Presented in Sydney on Thursday, 6 August 2026, the awards recognise Mavis’ exceptional leadership, technical expertise, and contribution to aviation systems and operations. Mavis’ achievement highlights the growing recognition of Pacific aviation professionals on the international stage and reflects the expertise and dedication of the Solomon Airlines team. With eight years at Solomon Airlines, Mavis has played a key role in strengthening the airline’s international operations through her work supporting critical aviation systems, including check-in, boarding, baggage reconciliation, and flight departure processes. She has led major technology initiatives, including the Departure Control System (DCS) migration at Brisbane Airport from SITA to the Amadeus ACUS cloud-based platform, as well as systems implementation in Auckland supporting immigration and visa compliance requirements. Mavis also independently implemented Baggage Reconciliation Systems across multiple international ports, including Nadi, Port Vila, Auckland, Brisbane, Honiara, Christchurch, and Port Moresby, strengthening baggage tracking, operational safety, and passenger experience. Speaking after receiving the awards, Mavis said she was honoured by the recognition and grateful for the support of her colleagues and partners. “I am incredibly honoured to receive these awards. Over eight years with Solomon Airlines, I have worked on complex aviation systems across multiple international airports. I am grateful to my team and partners, and I hope this recognition encourages more women across the Pacific to pursue careers in aviation and technology.” Solomon Airlines Chief Executive Officer Matthew Findlay congratulated Mavis on her achievement. “Mavis represents the very best of Solomon Airlines. Her technical expertise, commitment, and leadership have been invaluable in supporting our international operations. While these awards recognise Mavis’ individual achievement, they also reflect the strength, capability, and talent within our Solomon Airlines team.”Mavis’ success is an inspiration to aspiring aviation professionals across the Pacific and demonstrates the important role women continue to play in shaping the future of aviation.

FFA and SPC Present Fisheries Ministerial Outcomes to Forum Officials

The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) and the Pacific Community (SPC) have jointly presented the outcomes of the 2026 Fisheries Ministers Meetings to the Forum Officials Committee (FOC) in Suva, Fiji. FFA Director-General Noan David Pakop and SPC Deputy Director-General Dr Andrew Jones delivered the joint presentation during the FOC Meeting, highlighting the key fisheries and aquaculture agreed by the Ministers, including the Vakamanu Regional Pacific Fisheries Strategy 2026-2035, which will be presented to Pacific Islands Forum Leaders for consideration and endorsement. The Vakamanu Strategy, adopted by Fisheries Ministers in Wellington, New Zealand in July 2026, is the Pacific region’s new overarching fisheries and aquaculture framework for the next decade. It brings offshore fisheries, coastal fisheries, and aquaculture together under a single regional 10-year framework. The name Vakamanu is a Niuean term which refers to a flock of birds hovering above a school of fish — a symbol of abundance and hope. Drawing on the blue Pacific concept of vaka (canoe) and manu (birds), the Strategy embodies unity in one canoe and shared responsibility for the region’s fisheries resources. Mr Pakop said the Strategy provides Pacific Leaders with holistic oversight of the management and development of the region’s fisheries and aquaculture resources. “Fisheries and aquaculture are not a sectoral issue – they are a strategic regional resource, underpinning government revenue, food security, livelihoods, and the practical expression of our Members’ sovereignty and stewardship of the ocean,” Mr Pakop told the FOC. “It is therefore important that Leaders continue to have holistic oversight over the management and development of this critical resource. The Vakamanu Strategy is the vehicle by which Leaders are able to exercise that oversight.” The presentation underscored the significance of the region’s fisheries, noting that tuna generates approximately USD 500 million in access fees and USD 1.2 billion in export earnings annually, while coastal fisheries support the livelihoods of up to one-third of Pacific households. With Pacific tuna stocks remaining among the healthiest in the world, Mr Pakop said FFA is shifting its focus to value retention and economic development through the East New Britain Initiative (ENBi) and the FFA Strategic Plan 2026 2031. The joint presentation reflects the close partnership between FFA and SPC in supporting Pacific Island countries to achieve sustainable fisheries, resilient coastal communities and long-term economic prosperity. The outcomes of the 2026 Fisheries Ministers Meetings, together with the Vakamanu Regional Pacific Fisheries Strategy 2026–2035, will now be considered by Pacific Islands Forum Leaders during their meeting in Koror, Palau from 30 August – 4 September 2026.

Vanuatu electoral delegation visits UNDP Pacific Office

Our Resident Representative, Tuya Altangerel received a delegation from Vanuatu Electoral Commission and Vanuatu Electoral Office as they travelled to Fiji to complete the formalities ahead of their participation in UNDP Global Conference on Responsible AI in Elections. The visit provided an opportunity to discuss Vanuatu path towards modernization of Vanuatu electoral roll, which in line with the 2023 Electoral reforms anchors the voter registration in an upgraded Civil Registry system based on unique identity number. This modernization also provides bases for future interoperability of government services bringing the government closer to the citizens as well as for further upgrades of electoral administration aimed to increase transparency and access to electoral services.

Solomon Islands Youth Take Centre Stage in Shaping Democracy

Honiara, Solomon Islands: Ditching static lectures for dynamic skits, issue-based debates, and interactive mapping, dozens of young Solomon Islanders engaged in a high-energy civic education workshop. Driven by a shared vision of accountable governance and informed voting, youth representatives turned abstract political concepts into real-world action points for their communities. Supported by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the event brought together tertiary students from the Solomon Islands National University, and the University of the South Pacific, alongside young leaders from church networks and the Baha'i community. Victor Ngele, Chair of the Political Parties Commission, opened the event and challenged young voters to step up as the backbone of national governance. Quoting former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Ngele said: "No one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth, a society that cuts itself off from its youth severs its lifeline. "Here in the Solomon Islands, young people make up a significant proportion of our population. The decisions you make today, and as voters in the years ahead, will help shape the future of our nation. By becoming informed voters and active participants, you will help build a stronger, more accountable, and more prosperous Solomon Islands." Calling on young leaders to treat election day as the beginning, not the end, of civic duty, British High Commissioner to Solomon Islands, H.E. Paul Turner, said: "Democracy does not stop once the ballot boxes are closed; your political participation starts now and must be continuous if we are to see real systemic change. While international partners and the UNDP work tirelessly to support electoral systems, election day is merely a milestone. The true test of a healthy democracy lies in sustained youth leadership, equal representation for women, and active collaboration with media and church leaders to build strong civil society frameworks." Echoing this call to action, Nicole Smith, Counsellor – Governance and Stability, at the Australian High Commission to Solomon Islands, added: "Youth are not merely the leaders of tomorrow, they are the leaders of today, and their voices are vital to building strong, transparent governance. We encourage young leaders to take up their civic responsibility, invest their time in political engagement, and work hand-in-hand with community pillars to drive positive change." The day included a performance from DreamCast Theatre Honiara, a series of debates and 'tok stori’ sessions, and a 'Family Catalyst' exercise, in which youth designed practical strategies to lead respectful, transformative conversations about politics with their family and community. The workshop was organised by the UN Development Programme’s Solomon Islands Democratic Governance and Electoral Assistance Project in partnership with the Solomon Islands Office of the Registrar of Political Parties.

Culture is not separate from development, it is the foundation of it

📹 During her recent visit to the Kingdom of Tonga, UNDP in Asia and the Pacific Regional Director, Kanni Wignaraja, shared a reminder of something simple and important: culture is not separate from development, it is the foundation of it. As our planet changes, protecting community and environment together is not optional. And at UNDP, that work always starts with people. 👇
