The latest from across Bougainville

Bougainville Bulletin Christmas edition

Welcome to Edition 13 of the Bougainville Bulletin! As another year comes to an end, it is only fitting we take time to stop and see how far we have come, and prepare the next steps to take that will bring us closer to our aspiration. This process of review helps us as leaders whether political, administrative, community, youth or church leaders to analyze our strengths as well as our varying challenges, it helps us to realize what our roles are as individuals and unites us to work together.

With the referendum question agreed to in the special Joint Supervisory Body meeting in October this year, we now have the responsibility to ensure our people are well-informed on the two options of Greater Autonomy and Independence, and also to ensure that people clearly understand the process that will take place after the referendum. More details of on-going referendum preparations can be found on Pages 6, 7.

We also have for you the latest report from the Bougainville Chief Secretary on progressive developments made within the public service on Page 5, which provides information on the direction that the Bougainville Administration is taking to improve service delivery, combat corruption and reform the public service machinery.

Our “Bougainville Way: Essay Competition” received a good number of entries and would like to thank all those who participated. We have published the winning entries on Page 10.

On behalf of the Bulletin Team, we would like to wish all our readers and the people of Bougainville a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2019! (Read the Bougainville Bulletin).
