The Autonomous Bougainville Government is formulating a development plan that will look at improving development in the governance, infrastructure, economic and social sectors.
The Bougainville Vision and Strategic Development Plan 2052 is made up of Bougainville’s development objectives, strategies and financing plans to improve the region’s key development priorities.
Bougainville President, Ishmael Toroama said his government’s vision is for a prosperous, educated, healthy and sovereign Bougainville by 2052.
“The BVSDP 2052 will look at improving human development and capacity and focus on education and human resource development,’’ President Toroama said.
‘’It will emphasize on the provision of basic services to address the human needs on food security, shelter, health and security. Moreover, it will look at an overarching long term economic development plan for Bougainville,’’ added Toroama.
The Bougainville Vision and Strategic Development Plan 2052 is part and parcel of President Toroama’s Six Point Strategy under Point 5: Long Term Vision and Planning.
Its creation will be derived from the alignment of each of the ABG’s departments sector plans and will be integrated into the Bougainville Vision and Strategic Development Plan 2052.
The thirty-year plan is focused on independence readiness as well as the post-independence period where a future independent Bougainville government will work towards setting the foundations of all sectors of government for Bougainville.
‘’I want to encourage our Ministers and Departmental Heads to continue work to hard. We are at a transitionary phase from autonomy to independence where we are creating a new chapter for Bougainville,’’ said President Toroama.
‘’This requires us to be innovative and absolute in our commitment to Bougainville as we introduce new ideas, new ways of doing things and a new mindset that is focused on political independence that is complemented by socioeconomic growth,’’ President Toroama said.
‘’We all share a co-dependency in our existence as a people and government so we must work hard and collaborate at all sectors of development to ensure it is tangible and far reaching as possible,’’ President Toroama said.
