Empowering Bougainville Citizens Abroad to Have a Voice
The Bougainville Diaspora Consultation Support Project enables Bougainville citizens living abroad to actively participate in national discussions and development planning. Through structured consultations, forums, and engagement sessions, the initiative ensures that voices from the diaspora contribute to shaping Bougainville’s future.
Many Bougainvilleans living overseas maintain strong ties to their homeland. This program bridges the distance by creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue, feedback, and collaboration on key issues such as governance, constitutional matters, and community development priorities.
Project Objectives
- • Facilitate consultations for Bougainville citizens living abroad
- • Encourage participation in national development discussions
- • Gather feedback on governance and constitutional matters
- • Strengthen connections between diaspora communities and Bougainville
- • Promote transparency and inclusive decision-making
How the Consultation Program Works
