🌱 For 50 years, FAO’s Technical Cooperation Programme has helped turn technical expertise into practical support for agriculture in Papua New Guinea.

From strengthening local skills and farmer knowledge to introducing better tools, practices and approaches, the programme has worked with government and communities to respond to real needs on the ground.

Five decades on, that experience continues to shape the way FAO and its partners support farmers and agrifood systems across the country.

⛰️ A STEPPING STONE FOR LIVELIHOODS ACROSS PAPUA NEW GUINEA’S HIGHLANDS

FAO co-organized a meeting with ILO and UNCDF in Mount Hagen, bringing together representatives from provincial government agencies, communities, the private-sector and development partners to agree on how the Livelihood Enhancement and Economic Diversification (LEED) Programme will be delivered across Western Highlands, Southern Highlands, Enga and Hela.

Key results included:
☑️ Formal establishment of the Project Technical Committee to support coordination and guide programme implementation across the four Highlands provinces.
☑️ Validation of the programme’s work plan and budget for the remaining implementation period.

Funded through the PNG UN Country Fund II with support from New Zealand and Australia, LEED aims to support around 3,000 households across the four Highland provinces through stronger agriculture value chain, skills development and improved access to finance, with a focus on smallholder farmers, women, and youth.

🌱 SIMBU KICKS OFF THE INCEPTION PHASE FOR PNG’S USD 63.4 MILLION GCF-RBP PROJECT

Simbu has become the first pilot province for the inception phase of Papua New Guinea’s USD 63.4 million Green Climate Fund Results-Based Payments (GCF-RBP) project.

The Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA), in partnership with FAO Papua New Guinea and the Simbu Provincial Government, recently completed an inception mission focused on listening, learning and building the foundations for implementation.

Key results included:
🌳 Establishment of the Provincial Climate Change Committee
🗣️ Climate change awareness and REDD+ reconnaissance across five districts
🤝 Community co-creation workshops focused on local livelihoods and priorities
⛰️ Participation from all six districts, including representatives from remote Salt Nomane Karamui

Lessons from Simbu will help inform inception work in the other five pilot provinces, beginning with West New Britain.

The priority now is to understand local contexts, listen to communities and shape climate action around what matters on the ground.

👩‍🌾 Women farmers are at the heart of food production in Papua New Guinea.

Their work feeds families, supports household incomes and help communities thrive. When women farmers have the resources they need, the benefits reach far beyond the farm.

Globally, targeted support for rural women could raise incomes for 58 million more people.

Supporting women farmers means investing in stronger communities and a more food-secure future for all.

🌱 LEARN, SHARE, BUILD RESILIENCE!

In Bougainville, farmers like Georgina Oaike have witnessed how drought is affecting everyday life in her community. Food crops are drying out, taro plants are wilting and losing their leaves, bananas are struggling to produce, and some families have to travel further to find water.

After joining a Training of Trainers workshop in Arawa organised by FAO and Department of Primary Industry, Georgina has learned practical methods to prepare for drought, improve food security and use climate-smart farming practices.

For Georgina, the next step is simple: take what she has learned back home and share it with others. Through community awareness activities and simple visual demonstration, she hopes to help other farmers prepare for dry conditions and strengthen their livelihoods.

“I would love to see my community change … and be more climate-resilient,” shared Georgina.

🌍 ADVANCING PROTECTION FOR PAPUA NEW GUINEA’S ONLY WORLD HERITAGE PROPERTY

Papua New Guinea’s only World Heritage property has reached an important milestone towards stronger long-term protection.

Government agencies, local authorities, landowners and community representatives came together at a five-day consultative workshop on the K*k Early Agricultural World Heritage Site to review and validate key management measures and endorse site rules for its continued protection.

Supported by the FAO-CEPA GEF-7 Project, the workshop completed key documentation required for submission to the National Executive Council, advancing the proposed declaration of the K*k Conservation Area.

The process also strengthened collaboration among government institutions and local communities to support long-term conservation and sustainable management of the K*k’s unique cultural, agricultural, and environmental heritage.
