Roy Trivedy announced several projects to achieve this during this week's 15th anniversary celebrations of the signing of the Bougainville Peace Agreement.
He said a critical factor was preparing the region for the referendum on possible independence from PNG, which was expected in June 2019.
Mr Trivedy said one of the things the UN had done was provide the Autonomous Bougainville Government with a mobile cinema that was to be used to convey the information people needed to make informed decisions.
"It's a mobile audio and cinema vehicle that will go all around all the different parts of Bougainville, ensure that information is provided to people in quite remote areas. It will also ensure that information about the sustainable development goals can be provided to people," said Roy Trivedy.
