This Pacific Women in Bougainville Performance Report 2018–2019 draws on reports from implementing partners to provide an aggregate report on the progress of Pacific Women activities towards the Bougainville Gender Investment Plan (2014–2019). The Bougainville Gender Investment Plan was agreed between the Autonomous Bougainville Government, the Government of Australia and the Government of Papua New Guinea in 2015 and prioritised the following objectives:
Reducing family and sexual violence and assist survivors of violence.
Strengthen women’s leadership.
Improve women’s economic opportunities.
Pacific Women funded activities support all three Bougainville Gender Investment Plan objectives and align with the Autonomous Government of Bougainville’s Policy for Gender Equality, Women’s Employment, Peace and Security. Activities also support the Bougainville Department of Community Development’s Strategic Plan 2017–2019.
