What to Know About Bougainville

Key Facts

Bougainville is an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea, officially known as the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. It is geographically located in the eastern part of Papua New Guinea, comprising the main island of Bougainville along with several smaller islands in the Solomon Sea. Bougainville is situated approximately 1,000 kilometers east of the Papua New Guinea mainland and forms part of the Solomon Islands archipelago, though politically it belongs to Papua New Guinea rather than the Solomon Islands nation. The region covers an area of about 9,300 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 300,000 people. Bougainville is divided into three administrative districts: North Bougainville, Central Bougainville, and South Bougainville, which are further subdivided into constituencies. The region gained significant autonomy following the Bougainville Peace Agreement in 2001, and in 2019 held a historic referendum where over 98% of voters chose independence from Papua New Guinea.
