About Usino Bundi District

District Overview

The Usino Bundi District Administration Office leads governance and service coordination for the upland and riverine communities of Usino Bundi District. Nestled along the foothills of the Finisterre Range and the mid-Ramu River basin, the district's economy relies on subsistence agriculture (root crops, cocoa, coffee), inland fishing, and small-scale forestry. The office collaborates with provincial departments, Local-Level Governments, and community leaders to deliver essential services, promote sustainable livelihoods, and ensure inclusive participation in district planning.
