For over forty years, Pacific Peoples’ Partnership has supported the aspirations of South Pacific Islanders and Indigenous peoples for peace, environmental sustainability, social justice and community development.
Based on Lekwungen territories in Victoria BC, Canada, we are Canada’s only non-profit organization and registered charity focused specifically on the island nations of the South Pacific. Our programs reach members and supporters in more than 35 countries worldwide.
Our Vision
Connecting Canadian First Nation and South Pacific Indigenous peoples in order to ensure the long term viability and resilience of their communities.
Our Mission
Working in partnerships to support the aspirations of Canadian First Nation and South Pacific Indigenous peoples for peace, justice, environmental sustainability and development.
Our Approach
North-South Indigenous knowledge exchanges are central to our work. We facilitate ongoing knowledge exchange opportunities between Indigenous communities in Canada, New Zealand and Australia, and Pacific Islanders from Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia. Read more about our approach here.
Our Values
We value an open process of multi-stakeholder dialogue through country-based thematic, regional, grassroots, and global consultations.
