Since establishment, BWF has sought to represent Bougainvillean women at all levels, and the established structure of Regional and District Women’s Federations has enabled women’s organisations and their members to communicate their concerns and priorities through to the BWF natoinal team based in Buka. BWF has identified establishing relationships with regional and community government representatives as critical priorities to enable women to participate in and influence decision-making at those levels. 

The goal of this project is to bring stronger representatation to the women of bougainville and to stengthen the established structure of Regional and District Women’s Federations. Initatives within this program include...

Lobbying with the Bougainville House of Representatives, regional members of Parliament, Department of Community Government and the Community Government leaders.

The BSLPDP seeks to support the professional development needs of senior government officials from Bougainville and the Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) to strengthen the development of a unique, ethical and inclusive Bougainville society. The BSLPDP will focus on sharing knowledge through experiences and stories from relevant Melanesian, Australian (especially First Nations) and other contexts, and letting participants apply and develop these in relation to their own unique situations. Partnership, valuing local knowledge generation and innovation, and inclusion and gender-sensitivity are key themes. 

​

BWF’s role is to provide project management services in Bougainville (including to provide input as required into budgeting and finance reporting; arrangements for modules and travel arrangements); to provide localised input into the gender sensitivity focus of the project; to support project communications with participants and stakeholders as required; and with the Bougainville Disabled Peoples Organisation. 

Launched in Suva, Fiji in June 2023, the Pacific Women Mediators Network (PWMN) aims to uplift and support Pacific Island women-led approaches, to drive a gender just and human rights-based humanitarian-development-peacebuilding nexus, so that the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda also informs and contributes to national implementations of regional frameworks and commitments to gender equality, peacebuilding, disaster risk reduction and humanitarian action and climate change. 

The implementation of the Pacific Women Mediators Network is supported by a Technical Working Group reflecting our commitment to uplifting the feminist expertise of a cadre of diverse Pacific Island Women Civil Society Leaders who bring experience, knowledge and networks that reflect the legacy of Pacific Island women-led peacebuilding and activism, have led peacebuilding and political mediations and multilateral advocacy that drives greater understanding of the Pacific Island context.
