GEF-8 PROJECT HIGHLIGHT | 🌳 The Conservation and Environment Protection Authority (CEPA), with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Papua New Guinea, is advancing forest conservation in Papua New Guinea through the Global Environment Facility (GEF)-funded GEF-8 project.

Recent Provincial Inception Workshops held in Daru, South Fly District, Western Province, and Kerema, Gulf Province, brought together project stakeholders comprising of the provincial administration, local communities and potential local partners to launch the GEF8 Project and to inform and consult them on the project scope, goals, and implementation arrangements.

Consultation visits were conducted to existing community livelihood initiatives and existing programs by potential partners. This is to ensure a clear and validated framework for achieving the intended project outcomes in both provinces, supporting a shared vision for conserving biodiversity, strengthening community resilience, and enabling sustainable economic opportunities. Through strengthened collaboration, the project will help protect globally significant tropical forests, support sustainable livelihood initiatives and conserve biodiversity.

Together, these efforts will help safeguard more than 11.5 million hectares of forest, while ensuring that local communities remain at the center of sustainable landscape management and conservation efforts.

🔄RECAP: Giving women and young people a stronger voice in PNG agriculture

On 29 and 30 July, representatives from government, the private sector, farmer groups, civil society and development partners met in Port Moresby for the Southern Regional Stakeholders Consultation Workshop.

It was the fourth and final regional consultation, following meetings in Momase, the Highlands and the New Guinea Islands. Together, the consultations have brought farmers, processors, entrepreneurs and other agriculture stakeholders into discussions on Papua New Guinea’s first National Women and Youth in Agriculture Policy.

The process also forms part of PNG’s activities for the International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026.

Opening the workshop, FAO PNG Head of Office Dr Kachen Wongsathapornchai said:

💬 “As Papua New Guinea looks towards its next 50 years, women and young people must not simply participate in agricultural development. They must help lead it.”

Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed their experiences and ideas to the consultation process.
