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
- Give diaspora members a structured way to contribute to national planning.
- Gather feedback on governance, constitutional, and development questions.
- Strengthen connection between overseas communities and Bougainville.
- Feed diaspora input into official consultation processes.
How the Consultation Program Works
Sessions are organised by city and topic. Participants receive briefing materials, take part in facilitated discussion, and submit written feedback that is collated and shared with relevant bodies.
"Your voice matters — wherever you are in the world, you are part of Bougainville's future."
Community Impact
By involving the diaspora, the program strengthens national unity, promotes inclusive governance, and ensures development plans reflect the needs and aspirations of Bougainville people worldwide.
Get Involved
Bougainville citizens abroad are encouraged to join upcoming consultations, share their views, and contribute to shaping a sustainable and united future for Bougainville.
