Exploring Alluvial Gold Mining in Kongara, Bougainville

Join us on a journey to Kongara, Bougainville, where alluvial gold mining has long been a part of the local economy. As part of the Wokabaut Senis project, we are showcasing stories and updates made by Bougainvilleans for Bougainvilleans. In this video, we take a closer look at the alluvial gold mining industry in Kongara and learn about its history, impact, and future.
The Wokabaut Senis project is facilitated by PaCSIA and supported by the Autonomous Bougainville Government, the Bougainville Christian Churches Association, and the UN (UNDP, UNFPA, and UN Women). It is part of a broader effort to engage communities at the grassroots level in the lead-up to the Bougainville referendum and the post-referendum transition period. Tune in to learn more about alluvial gold mining in Kongara and its role in the local economy.
