Tetra Tech International Development is currently accepting expressions of interest for a part-time Accountant/Bookkeeper position for an anticipated MCC-funded project in the Solomon Islands. This role will be part-time (50%) and based in the Solomon Islands.
Position Description/Summary:
The anticipated Accessing Land for Tourism Investment Facilitation (ALTIF) project seeks to build the government’s capacity to identify registered land parcels that have a high potential to attract tourism investment, assist investors to obtain secure access to registered land with landowners and neighboring communities (via social license), and facilitate investments on that land by outside tourism investors.
Tetra Tech is recruiting candidates for the “community-facing” aspects of the overall project, namely engaging with communities adjacent to the planned investments to: ensure their genuine consent to the planned investment; assist in resolving any actual or potential land rights disputes in connection with the planned tourism investment; assist in negotiating potential benefit-sharing; support community governance; and support capacity building and job training to take advantage of opportunities arising from the planned tourism investment.
