Donor Support – 2001

In the first week of October 2001, Bougainville Affairs Minister, Moi Avei, said that, “his ministry was working with other government agencies to develop plans and get enough money from the 2002 budget to prepare for establishment of the autonomous Bougainville government, as well as other aspects of restoration and development in the province. The government was also talking with foreign aid donors to see how they could assist.”¹

In November 2001, “Bougainville got the highest provincial allocations of 66m kina from both the development and recurrent budgets in the 2002 budget” The province’s higher allocation of 41,395,900 kina was from the development budget. Although this was the highest allocation, it is funded mostly by donor agencies.²
