About Papua Partners

Papua Partners was founded in 2006 to build the capacity of Indigenous Papuans to respond to the increasingly complex social, political and environmental situation in West Papua - the Western half of the island of New Guinea, which became a part of the Republic of Indonesia in a disputed referrendum in 1969. The majority of our work in Papua is run by our local partner organisation iWaTaLi, an indigenous-led NGO that works in partnership with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) to protect, monitor and secure formal title over their Customary Lands, to document environmental and human rights abuses, and to develop sustainable livelihood opportunities. We are a UK-registered charity and a non-political organisation, working to mobilise transformative, adaptive and resilient change which brings justice, peace and environmental security to the Land of Papua, whilst enabling Indigenous Papuans to exercise their rights to self-determination.
