MAJOR CHALLENGES
Lack of proper infrastructure throughout Bougainville e.g. Roads,
bridges, ports, wharfs/jetties.
High transport and basic service costs. Primarily as a result of lack
of infrastructure.
Financial constraints and lack of resources. Low government
funding allocations resulting in an understaffed and underfunded
directorate.
Less progress in facilitating widespread access to new and higher-
value added markets for cocoa (due to an array of issues).
Lack of strong partnership by all stakeholders/partners in the
staging of the Festival.
