ENGLISH CONCEPT OVERVIEWThis is a summary for discussion, not a complete translation of the Indonesian prototype. PIGP is not yet a formal organisation, legal entity, or representative body for all Indigenous Peoples in Papua. No official partners or leadership appointments have been confirmed here.
THE IDEA
Local knowledge.
Shared possibilities.
PIGP is a proposed international collaboration network that places Indigenous communities at the centre of decisions affecting their knowledge and future.
The concept aims to create a space for equitable dialogue among communities, researchers and potential collaborators. Its proposed mission is to support knowledge exchange, community-led priorities, and transparent partnership governance.
Model C — International Collaboration Network. The name, operating model, governance and any formal identity remain subject to consultation and appropriate confirmation.
A FRAMEWORK FOR DISCUSSION
Eight strategic pillars.
These are proposed areas of work, not programmes already delivered. Each community’s priorities, languages and decision-making processes must be respected.
Education and Human Development
Explore learning, mentoring and capacity development that respond to local needs and languages.
Indigenous Partnerships and Diplomacy
Build the capacity for equitable dialogue, exchange and negotiation without claiming to speak for communities.
Green Economy and Food Security
Study community livelihoods, local food systems and ecological sustainability, with benefits defined together.
Technology and Innovation
Explore accessible technology and digital skills while keeping control of data with its rightful holders.
Culture and Ancestral Knowledge
Respect diverse languages and knowledge systems, including knowledge that must remain restricted.
Community Health and Well-being
Discuss community priorities and learning needs with competent professionals, without exposing personal health information.
Research, Policy and Governance
Develop transparent, participatory research practices with clear sources, permissions and ways to return findings to communities.
EQUITABLE PARTNERSHIPS
Listening comes first.
A proposal does not establish consent. A conversation does not establish an official partnership.
Community decision-making
Respect free, prior and informed consent, community-defined processes, and the opportunity to decline or request changes.
Knowledge and data
Agree on purposes, access, benefits and limits before gathering information. Do not publish sacred locations, confidential knowledge or personal data without appropriate grounds and permissions.
Clear responsibilities
Discuss mandates, ethical and legal review, benefit sharing, accountability and evaluation before implementation.
