Papua Partners

Papua Partners works to strengthen the capacity of local, indigenous-led organisations in West Papua (Indonesian New Guinea) to promote peacebuilding, eradicate poverty, and protect vital and sacred lands. Established in 2006, the charity has decades of experience supporting communities that have faced conflict, discrimination, violence, and poverty. In recent years, Papua Partners has undergone a significant transformation in its organisational structure, transferring greater power and management responsibility to West Papua. This shift reflects the organisation’s commitment to aligning its actions with its ambition to become genuinely locally-led.
