Sustaining Peace in Bougainville is a project implemented jointly by UNDP, UN Women and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Building upon the implementation of the first phase of Peacebuilding Fund support towards an enabling environment for the referendum, the project covers three outcomes:

(1) Continue to provide support towards inter-governmental dialogue between the National Government and the Autonomous Bougainville Government;

(2) Use a participatory process to raising awareness of the Bougainville Peace Agreement through storytelling and traditional means of communication, and:

(3) Assist both governments in establishing a joint process for the disposal of weapons and reunification of factional groups.

Increasing knowledge and understanding of the Bougainville Peace Agreement, its three pillars and the peace process can be done through supporting awareness of the BPA and through the joint key messages of the National Government and the Autonomous Bougainville Government that were approved by the two governments in 2019. This project will focus on developing communications products and support their dissemination throughout Bougainville and Papua New Guinea.
