01
One people. Shared dignity.
Community decisions, transparent institutions and opportunity across every region.
01 / A SHARED VISION
Progress that belongs
to the people.
Bougainville’s next chapter begins with the things that make life whole: family, good health, meaningful work and a thriving natural world.
This independent proposal builds on the Peace Agreement and Vision 2052. Local communities shape decisions. Development strengthens traditions, without imposing a foreign way of living.
02
Nature is our foundation.
Protect water, forests and reefs. Measure environmental outcomes before scaling.
03
Innovation with purpose.
Reliable energy, accessible healthcare and technology that serves everyday life.
A living landscape. An enduring responsibility.02 / KNOW OUR ISLAND
Extraordinary nature.
Real-world foundations.
From Buka to the mountains of Bougainville and its outer islands, geography shapes every investment. A connected future needs roads, coastal boats, resilient networks and air rescue working together.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME · € MILLIONMine excluded
Finance must follow evidence.
The reported 2026 ABG budget is PGK844.09m, including PGK46.74m of internal revenue, PGK520.36m of national grants and PGK276.9m of reappropriated development funds. These are budget figures, not audited receipts or free investment capacity. The euro programme therefore requires separately committed grants, private capital and operating finance. [F01] ↗
05 / THE WORLD WE CHERISH
A home worth
protecting.
Rainforest canopies. Living reefs. Village life. These landscapes inspire development that leaves room for nature and for each other.
Regional ecology: sago palms (Metroxylon salomonense), mangrove and montane forest habitats, and endemic birds including the Bougainville honeyeater (Stresemannia bougainvillei). Species records are documented separately from illustrative imagery.
AI nature visualisations. Illustrative habitats and cultural scenes, not documentary photographs or verified species records.
06 / A PAST REMEMBERED. A FUTURE INFORMED.

Explore the historical foundations +
Roots & community
ABG describes at least 30,000 years of human settlement. Land, family and local knowledge remain foundations of development.
Colonial eras & PNG
German and Australian administration, followed by inclusion in Papua New Guinea in 1975, shape the political history.
Panguna & responsibility
The historic mine and its legacy make fair participation and environmental protection essential.
Peace as the foundation
The Peace Agreement connects autonomy, weapons disposal and an agreed referendum process.
Autonomous government
The first Autonomous Bougainville Government takes office.
A democratic voice
97.71% of all ballots cast supported independence. The constitutional process remains essential.
Vision 2052
The existing long-term strategy is the starting point for this development proposal.
The next shared step
The investment scenario begins. Self-government in 2027 and independence in 2030 are political targets, not completed events.
07 / PARTNERSHIP WITH PURPOSE
Local leadership.
International expertise.
DACH is the partner region for expertise from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Girasol International AG leads project development and coordination, and exclusively contracts the Panguna mine investment. Quantum technology organisations are proposed cooperation targets, not yet contracted partners.
