Ben Bohane

Ben Bohane is an Australian photojournalist, producer and policy analyst based in Vanuatu.

For 30 years he specialised in reporting conflict and religion across the Asia Pacific region for a variety of global and Australian media.

From 1989-2009 he reported on conflict from Afghanistan to Burma to the Solomon Islands.

Between 2009-2016 he was Communications Director for the Pacific Institute of Public Policy (PiPP), the region’s only independent think tank, working on initiatives to spread the policy base so grassroots Pacific islanders had more input into their national policy formulations. PiPP was also tasked by some Pacific governments to help develop policy research and capacity.
