Ob"ectivès and Alms The company's oty'ects and principal activth'es are to build the Pa¢ty of civil socb8ty in Papua, Indonesia to tackle poverty and injustice and nurture sustainable communities. This is done through partnering with local indigenous organisations and churches to empower and improve livelihoods in numerous local communities through the provision of technical support, organisalional developmerrt and the funding of innovative initiatives. Our approach Papua Partners works in partnership wilh local organisations, churches, community-based groups and social entrepreneurs to help them achieve their unique vision for transfomiational change. We focus on building their capacity for creating change through training, mentoring, development of good practice and partnering in implementation as well as facilttating their access to information and resources. We also support in direct project management when needed. Actlvities 2020121 Partn8rships During 2020121 we worked in partrrship with r•wien organisations in West Papua 1. Yasumat 2. Yapelin 3.

West Papuan Christian Youth Forum We continue to support our partners with training and accompaniment to support their visions for ¢hange and to help them run effective programs that are impacting the lives of individuals. families and communities as well as Ing change agents in wider society.

We have a full-time director in the UK who provides overall management and technical support to the programs in West Papua as well as growing suppjrt for the charrty and the ¢auses of West Papua in the UK. In the UK the COV1[19 pandemic affected our abilrty to fundraise through events and there was also a reduction in grants and trust funding available for small charities intemalionally. We were grateful that Papu8 Partners was able to use the HMRC Govemment Job Retention Scheme during 2020121 to mitt.gate the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the charity. The CEO of the tharity was ftjrloughed for 3 months full time and 14 months part ts"me. This inrne is Govered by this t of Finan¢ial Statements.
