Papua Partners

Who we are

Papua Partners is a UK registered charity working in West Papua (Indonesian New Guinea). We have been working together in partnership with West Papuan organisations, networks and faith groups since 2006 in community driven development, peacebuilding, environment and gender equality.

Our Vision is for a peaceful, just and thriving Papuan Society where the social, economic and political environments enable all peoples to assume their full identities and realise their full potential. Our mission to work in partnership with local Papuan organisations, individuals and churches to Mobilise transformative change that brings justice and peace to the Land of Papua

We work alongside local Papuan organisations, change agents and networks providing training, coaching, education materials and financial support to help them reach their visions for change. We use a model of Equipping, Accompanying and mobilising to build and scale up community led initiatives to impact on a wider scale using local resources and capacities. We support leaders to break cycles of dependency, identify solutions and develop processes for change.  We help bridge build and create connections between West Papuans and the international community so they can share their stories and influence international policy on West Papua.
