Program Manager – Solomon Islands
“Sustainability in fisheries is not just about conservation; it’s about empowering communities, preserving cultures, and ensuring economic stability for those who depend on the ocean.”
Dafisha Aleziru is the Programs Manager for Positive Change for Marine Life (PCFML) in the Solomon Islands, where she leads the design and implementation of community-led programs focused on marine conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods. She is based in the Western Province and brings a strong foundation in fisheries management and marine resource protection, developed through hands-on work with coastal communities and partnerships with local and international NGOs.
Dafisha holds a diploma in Marine Resource Management from the Solomon Islands National University and has undertaken specialist training in community-based conservation, climate adaptation, and fisheries monitoring through regional programs supported by the Coral Triangle Initiative and the Pacific Community (SPC). She has worked with several notable organisations, including WWF-Pacific, WorldFish, and the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, where she built experience in community engagement, environmental education, and policy implementation.
Her career is guided by a strong belief in the power of local knowledge and leadership. Dafisha is passionate about supporting Solomon Islanders—particularly women and youth—to protect and manage their marine resources in ways that sustain both biodiversity and culture. She is known for her commitment, reliability, and ability to build trust across sectors, making her a key leader in PCFML’s expanding efforts across the Solomon Islands.
