Bringing life to innovation in the Pacific through the acceleration of transformative, locally driven projects across the pillars of energy, health, education, technology, sports, and climate justice.

Locally led solutions deliver the strongest, most lasting results. By centering community priorities and lived experience, projects become more relevant, more trusted, and more sustainable. Empowerment, not dependency—built through transparency, inclusion, and outcomes that endure long after the project ends.
By working directly with community leaders to co-design practical, lasting solutions that reflect real needs — from coastal protection to improved infrastructure and environmental stewardship.
Ensuring that solutions are locally led, culturally grounded, and future-ready.

Culturally grounded delivery models ensure efficiently, risk mitigation, and optimal social and strategic returns. Strong community buy-in translates to reputational value, ESG alignment, and measurable results for partners.
By designing for shared value, we ensure all funding is fully maximized, delivering both meaningful impact on the ground and tangible benefits for our partners.
Our approach centres local leadership and lived experience — ensuring that solutions are shaped by those who know the land, the challenges, and the priorities best.

Led by Julius Tuigamala and Ana Mapusua, the 1P executive team brings a unique combination of global strategic experience and deep regional connection.
At 1P we are driven by the understanding that fundamental transformation begins at the grassroots led by the voice of the people who are part of the community heartbeat.

An agile, decolonised approach to leadership means that decisions are made with transparency, cultural understanding, and collective wisdom.
Communities understand their needs better than anybody.
Our team are all guided by a belief: that meaningful change begins with the people.
When the voices of communities are honoured, their solutions supported, and their visions resourced, we do more than deliver projects—we shift paradigms.
